Week 40 - Precious moments

Week 40 Picture

You guys ready for your weekly "how is Jay sleeping" update? Spoiler alert. Bad. He's a wonderful little boy but I'm not sure if it's possible to have a baby much worse at than sleeping than ours. The reason for his sleep woes this time are particularly unusual. He's developed in his crawling so quickly that he's started practicing while he's sleeping. Specifically, in the middle of the night he's started sitting up in his sleep and waking himself up in the process. He then starts crying until Kimbre goes back in his room and lays him back down.

It's exhausting. It's been a long time since either Kimbre or I got a full nights sleep. Living day to day life is hard enough without getting any sleep. Fortunately, during the day, he's so much fun to be around that it makes it worth it. Being a parent has been the only thing in my life that has continuously gotten better every week. I just love my little boy so much.

Some moments are particularly special. I got home from work yesterday, opened the front door, and guess who was there to greet me? My little boy. As soon as he heard me come in, his face lit up and he crawled as fast as his stubby little chunk legs could take him, pulled himself up on my leg, and threw his arms up to be picked up with a big goofy smile on his face. Let me tell you, my heart just melted. That feeling is something I hope to never forget.
