Party in my crib. Midnight. BYOB.

We were so spoiled for a while. After 4 months of getting up every 2-3 hours, the last few months have been super easy: sleeping through the night (7 p.m. - 7 a.m.), or getting up once around 2-4 a.m. But lately, these midnight parties are exhausting mommy and daddy again.

Don't get me wrong; Liam had a great day - all smiles from when he woke up at 6:50 a.m. until we got jammies on around 6 p.m. He ate his peas, but then on the second spoonful of cereal, Liam started crying. With the cereal still in his mouth. So, it was out of the high chair and onto the couch for that oh-so-comforting bottle with daddy. Liam was asleep in minutes.

Well, he had a productive day - who wouldn't be asleep by 6:30? After entertaining everyone at day care with his belly-laughs, dancing around the kitchen with mommy, bouncing in the exersaucer, and chewing on a toy puppy...whew! I'm tired just writing all that!

But it's 12:30 a.m. After a diaper change, a full bottle, a little rocking, and a lot of mattress-bouncing, our bubba is fast asleep once again.

Today's menu: pears and rice cereal...carrots and tofu...peas and rice cereal.

Best moment of the day: Went to get Liam from day care at 5 - he was sitting on the floor, playing with some toys, and his face lit up when he saw me. So I picked him up and he gave me a big hug and then a slobbery, open-mouthed kiss on the cheek. Awww...

Good night, sweet boy.
