Standard wake-up grumpiness.
I brought Jake in our bed after he woke up to squeeze in some sweet morning snuggles.
I long for the days when I was nursing him and he would snuggle between us on weekend mornings.
Now, mornings are filled with wrestling, tickles, and running wildly. And bacon - the boy loves bacon.
Routine takes over Monday - Wednesday.
Bath time is perfect for unwinding, splashing, and chatting before bed.
...or for throwing a fit and trying to jump out of the tub.
I love when days end like this.
Walked to brunch. Jake's face gets so red in the cold.
Staying in. Watching football + taking naps.
And yes, our tree is still up.
There's a pot of chili on the stove and I've been huddled over my laptop, editing and posting (yes, back dating) the last 7 days. I feel the continuous pull between work, personal projects (like this) and being present for my family. I'm hoping to find a better balance over the next 357 days.

More snow. Took a walk outside with Daddy, but enjoyed it more from the window.
Lots of snuggling on the couch + reading books over and over again. Go Dog Go is the current favorite, as it combines Jake's three passions: dogs, cars, and saying the word go.
Finally getting a handle on this clingy sleep regression. It's not pretty, but we're working on it.
