I just wanted to post this picture because I absolutely love what Jeffrey did to it! It's so magical! And angelic! My little sleeping angel!
We have this bedtime routine with Jacey that has pretty much been standard ever since Jacey started falling asleep by himself. We put on a lullaby cd, give him his bottle in his room, then we take turns snuggling and rocking him. And it's Jacey that decided that part, not us. He will be completely content snuggling Jeffrey one minute, and then he'll turn and reach for me and stay with me for a few minutes, then it's right back to Jeffrey and so on. Sometimes he only wants one of us, and the "loser" that night just has to be satisfied with a kiss. After the snuggling, we put him in bed, tickle his back for a bit, then leave. Lately however, he has put a new spin on things. Do you remember his bear, Jean-Jacques? Well, he loves this bear and has always loved playing with him, but lately, he has wanted to only snuggle him for bed, not us. We never used put it in his bed with him, but that is the only way he'll go to sleep now. So instead of snuggling us, he'll reach for his bear, then just lean over his bed until we put him in it. And then he'll put his arm around his bear, or lay on top of him, and go right to sleep. It's SOO adorable!! It's nice to have this little attachment for Jacey. Jean-Jacques soothes him when he wakes up in the night too. It's awesome! Sad to lose the snuggling ritual with us a bit, but it's so fun to see him growing up and developing his personality!

Both of those pictures are just priceless. What a cute boy. I'm so glad I get to see him so often.
cute pic!! How did Jeffrey do that to the photo it is so neat!!! Hallmark card cute!!
They are the cutest pics Emily! It is sad when they start to get independent, but good too. Logan has started to escape his wrap after he goes to bed (we have had to wrap him since he went into an open crib in the neonatal nursery for development), and he is staying asleep instead of waking and flailing his arms everywhere. It is both nice and sad at the same time.
Great pictures. The first one is so cute. I love it. What a cute little boy.
That is so neat what Jeffrey did! He is just too cute. I love that he now needs a snuggly bear. I think it is just the age they start to get attached to things, cause my girls love their bunny & puppy, and snuggle them so hard. It is so cute!
What a cute picture and a cute boy! They grow up so fast hey?
how adorable!!! kinda sad to lose the snuggling, but so nice that he'll go down on his own. love the pictures! and i'm curious how jeff did that!! looks so neat!
Ohhh my that kid is so adorable! I can't wait to see him for Thanksgiving... and when we have our TWIN BIRTHDAY PARTY!! Love and miss you guys -- your such a cute family!
Rad pictures!! I got your message and it's so crazy that we haven't seen eachother for over 3 years!!!Time flies when your making babies. haha.
It's so fun that we are in the same stage of life together. Sometimes it can be awkward talking with my single friends still playing the dating game. But I'm loving all of the new conversation between missionaries. I really hope we can afford to go back in 09! Love ya, Hope I see you before that!
Time for an update ;) it IS November...
I love that first picture! What a cutie!
