Dear Jordan,
I just saw my friend Kimmy bragging on Facebook about her newborn sleeping through the night. I certainly don't think poorly of her for bragging...I would brag too! I just have to chuckle because, well, you never have been a night sleeper. You've been doing really well, but I can always count on you to mix it up! Last night, you cried from 4:30 to 5:30. I changed your diaper, I rocked you, and I put you back to bed. And you cried until I finally went in, tucked you in again and sang "Jesus Loves You". At this point, I am so used to not sleeping that it doesn't really bother me anymore!
Last week, you had your first chin buster. You have a nice cut and scrape on your chin after you and dad went to the park. You tried to jump from picnic table to picnic table (why??) and it did not go well!
You are getting to be quite the communicator. You try to say lots of words if I prompt you. Today we tried to say colors and you do a great job of repeating. My favorite word is "yo-yo". You are just so cute!
Currently, you are obsessed with snow. I have no idea why. It's April and there is no snow and hasn't been snow for a month! But every day you go and get your boots and mittens and hats and look out the window. I'm glad you don't realize that you have about 8 months before you have a chance to see snow again!
On Saturday, we took you to the Bushey's house so we could go to a wedding. We picked you up at 2 and you fell asleep on the way home. You slept until 5:15!! I was worried that you wouldn't sleep that night, but sure enough, you went to bed at 8:30 and slept all night. I thought you would wake up sick, but you didn't. You just went about your day as if it was normal to get that much sleep. I have no thoughts that three hour naps will become the norm. But I do want to know how they were able to wear you out so thoroughly!
We're about to leave to go meet some friends for a playdate at the library. I love you, buddy!!
