Little man Jack has just gotten himself to sleep after about 45 minutes of fussiness. Overtired baby, for sure. He's had a nice, busy weekend. Yesterday he and I went out to Lakewood to spend time with Grandma, and shopped at Trader Joe's (I felt pretty cool, wearing him around the store in the Moby, using a basket-- hardcore AP momma!), and got home just in time to get out the Valentine-makins for our annual Valentine's Day Extravaganza. Actually it was pretty low-key for an extravaganza, but still a fun time. The Jack-man was in a great mood, laying on the floor giggling to himself as I got ready. He can really be a doll!
Today we slept in til 9! I am not sure if Jack actually slept that long but he certainly didn't wake us up! It was like a little Sunday gift from the baby. That, plus the great sleep he had Friday night (only woke ONCE, at 4:30am!) has made for a pretty well-rested mommy today. Which is a good thing as we had a trip to Dave and Buster's to contend with. Tons of fun but so incredibly overstimulating... Jack, as it turns out, really likes overstimulation. He was as calm as can be as we walked around, just taking in all the lights and clanging, the neon cacophony that is the arcade. He was delightful the whole time. At lunch, we had him sitting up on the table as we waited for our meal. He was absolutely fascinated with our glasses of Coke and water, and kept reaching out for them with two hands. So, we gave him my glass of water and helped him hold it to his mouth. It was hilarious to watch him try to put the whole glass in his mouth. He had his mouth open as far as possible, and was licking and drooling down the outside of the glass. The couple of times he actually got some water in his mouth, he scrinched his face up like it was horrible-- then reached for the glass again. :) We were all very amused.
We have come to the realization that Jack is, without fail, always a perfect angel when we take him out and about. He's a pretty good kid...
Touching bonding moment of the day: After having his "second supper" at about 6 tonight, Jack was happily snuggling in my arms. I touched his nose with my finger a few times and he seemed to enjoy that. Then he started smiling and giggling when I pulled my hand away and opened my fingers after I touched his nose. I went through that cycle a few times, enjoying the chuckles each time-- and then he started to pull my hand back down to his nose again! Very neat.
