7 wonderful months

Happy 7 month birthday, Little J!

I can't believe that Little J has been here with us for 7 months! I feel like he's been a part of our life forever, but goodness time has just flown by! I can't even imagine my life without the sweet smile that spreads across his whole face, laughs that come deep from within his belly, and snuggles that simply melt my heart & make me want time to stand still. Although I do miss my sleep, he's more than worth all the lost sleep over the last 7 months...I imagine that for the rest of my life I won't sleep quite the same as before he was here. And I wouldn't want it any other way.

We celebrated today by having a LAZY day. We hung out in bed until almost 9am, then Big J got up & gave Little J his breakfast (apple puree mixed with oatmeal - yum!), while I got to lay in bed until 9:45! Don't remember the last time that happened, but I'm 100% positive it was before July 28, 2008. Am I a lucky woman to have such an amazing husband or what!? 

Then we just hung aroud because it is a dreary day here...made some babyfood (me), did some Wii Fitting (Big J), napped (Little J). All in all, a good day! And of course, Little J was in bed by 5:45pm...what a nightowl! :)

Sweet Sleep!

Little J slept ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE NIGHT last night!!!!

He usually sleeps from 6pm-4am, wakes up to nurse & goes back to sleep until 7:30am. I was fine with this schedule...10 hours seems like a long time for a baby to sleep w/o eating to me. But last night he went to sleep at 5:45pm and slept until 7:30am without a peep!!! WAHOOOOOO! I'm hoping this is the beginning of continuous STTN (sleeping through the night) at the Hanes House!


Little J is one day shy of 7 months old. :)

Jumping on the bandwagon...

Since I LOVE reading blogs that others write, I figured I should start one of my own (that makes me a little less stalker-like, right?). I'm sure there will be quite a hodge-podge of posts to come, like about my awesome husband (Big J) & adorable son (Little J), cooking, crafting, friends, and who knows what else. You're welcome to follow along!
