jinx

i'm dooming myself by posting this i'm sure...

but i think we just might have it figured out. after sleeping through the night 4 out of 5 times this week,

i believe we may have found the secret:

a couple extra feedings, and the key: arm placement. please note below.

who knew?

after following this simple procedure,

we are sleeping peacefully all night long - 7 or 8 hours at a time.

we are a whole new family.

it's wonderful. :)

knock on wood

the man

today we celebrated the man of the house.

complete with his favorite breakfast, stellar presents, an REI shopping spree (thanks Mary), and the most delicious cake on the planet, he declared this the best birthday ever.

he says that every year.

but this time i think he really meant it.

the only thing that sucks about his birthday is that i can never make fun of him for being old. no mean cards, no old man jokes...

because i am older than he is.

not by much, just 14 months, but he is sure to remind me of that often enough.

anyway...

happy birthday big daddy. you're a wonderful husband

and an awesome dad.

you da' man.
