Nana and Papa to the rescue!

Two weeks ago Cathy and John came to visit Brad, Jake and I for a few days (8/4/10).  I had a few very rough days with Jake when he would do nothing but eat sleep or cry.  I felt like I was doing nothing but feeding him.  Even Mary Francis our next door neighbor who is great couldnt get him to stop crying without giving him a bottle.  So it was so great to see them and Jake just had a ball with Nana and Papa!  They helped us get a little extra sleep as they kept him at night for those two nights.  It was amazing to sleep for more than 2 hours at a time!

We went out to dinner at Chilis for the first time while they were in town!


Here are a few smiling pictures from when Nana and Papa were in town...

Jake has gotten to where he likes to sleep curled up on your belly MUCH better than in his moses basket or crib.  The picture to the left is a great example!  We're working on it but he seems to wake up every time we put him down.  Well when Nana and Papa came into town he did great and slept in the moses basket by their bed great.  He also started getting into somewhat of a more normal schedule!  Now we still arent super strict about schedules but we do want to start figuring out his natural eating sleeping patterns. 

 

While they were in town he slept for 3-4 hours at a time which rarely ever happened for me!  I was also able to run out a few times and get some things done like shopping for some new work clothes, buying groceries, and voting.  Its sad when those things seem really exciting. 

I will post some pictures soon of our visit with Nana and Papa.
