Dan and I were invited to a wedding, and after surveying friends, we decided it would be ok to take the baby. He is only 4 weeks old, people would understand.
We started with the ceremony and Jack was SO good, slept through the whole thing, not a peep out of him! We thought that one of us would for sure be out in the hall with Jack for the majority of the reception (dinner and dancing) but Jack was WONDERFUL! He slept in his carseat during dinner and the beginning of the dancing. After he woke up, we fed him a bottle. (He was a little slow, but didn't spit up at all.) And then went right back to sleep so some of Dan's friends could hold him. It was so good, we were a little nervous- tried to plan ahead for feeding him, backup clothes for if he leaked, everything. He's a good kid.
So, how do you reward him? I figure the least I can do is get up with him and smile... how often can he really get up in 7 hours? Well 2, 3, & 6 A.M., and then he never went back to bed. Jack and I just hung out, he followed me around the house as I got things ready for church, cleaned up a little, etc. He's a trooper. We are pretty lucky!
And just to remind me that no matter how little sleep I get, we can still have a little fun... We are driving to church on Sunday morning and I had the song "The Eye of the Tiger" in my head. Not quite sure why, but I'm singing along, making up words, etc. Out of no where, Dan says "I like it better in Spanish" and continues to sing the phrase "Ojo de Tigre" again and again. You may have had to be there, but I laughed...

aww He's sooo cute. and don't worry Maralee, you won't be getting a full nights sleep until he's at college.... lol
Eye of the Tiger was probably just still in your head from Guitar Hero on Friday night :)
You look so happy holding him and he looks so content! Isn't it fun?
maralee you are looking great!! i saw you called the other day; i have been a little slow on the call backs but expect one this week. and that is a great question "how do you reward an infant?" we went house hunting and jackson was in the car for 6 hours and did fantastic, i am not as good as you because i can pretty much guarantee everytime i got up with him that night i did not smile.
I called you yesterday from my moms. I was hoping to stop by and see your little guy. I didn't leave a message, maybe next week? Cute picture of you and Jack.
