Sleeping in....

Jackson has decided to sleep in this morning. I had a nightmare and can't sleep anymore. Go figure....I will be productive during this restful time and get a little reading done.

Enjoy your chilly Saturday morning.

Ta-Da!!!!!!!!!

So, I have a confession. I was sooo tired today and took a nap while Jackson napped. Well, I was in such a deep sleep, I thought that he had been awake and was hungry and ready to get up. (see previous post) My son does not scream to get out of his crib. He doesn't try and climb out of his crib. He is playful and quiet and really could been awake in there an hour and I wouldn't know it. Well, I woke up in a panic and turned over to the monitor and thought, "I need to go get him up....it has been almost 3 hours." .................
I am usually dramatic when I walk in his room like a mom on a commercial trying to wake their teenage son. (I am practicing for later.) I opened his door and exclaimed, "Ta-Da....!" (Jazz hands and all)  No movement. Um.....oh no! Well, I walked closer and he was sound asleep. He was like the "Niquil commerical" sleeping.

So, I am now cleaning up our house and getting his snack ready because "Hungry Jack" comes out after a 3 hour nap.

I am a little embarrassed, but no harm was done. I can just document this occasion to share with him when he is a teenager and will not get out of his cozy bed.

Good Morning, Hungry Jack!

Jackson doesn't say "Mommy" when he wakes up in his crib. He talks and reads the letters on his wall and is currently saying "eat." I guess I better get up and feed the boy.

Shoes

Anytime Ben or I put on our shoes, Jackson automatically starts blowing us kisses and running up to us and gives us kisses because he thinks we are leaving. Then, he waves bye bye. 

My sweet boy. 

Kisses

I am not sure what prompts my son to do this, but it melts my heart:

I was getting his bath water ready and he was jumping on my lap and couldn't quit hugging me and I would give him kisses and he would press his head closer to mine to get more kisses. He would give me more hugs and then he would give me a kiss.

Jackson is not a cuddler, mushy, hug-fest boy, but it was splendid that he was for 3 minutes. I loved that special moment with my sweet boy.

I love being a mommy.

It has been a while, but I had to take a break from this blog. I am going to try and start again, but until then, I will leave you with a picture from Jackson's 1st Birthday Party. 

Alarm clock and a dust bunny

I do not need an alarm clock. At 7AM daily, I hear Brahm's lullaby in Jackson's room. He pulls on a little string on his stuffed elephant. He doesn't call for us and he doesn't get upset. He just keeps pulling that string. I just get tired of hearing the song and get up to go get him.
I love that he doesn't wake up cranky, but just pleasant and patient. Love my little boy.

And, he has decided that a dust bunny would be good to eat. Our foyer is one of the only places that has hardwood floors. Thanks, Jackson, for showing mommy she needs to clean. I hope that dust bunny was yummy. Yuck!
