Let Sleeping Babies Lie

Few things are as relaxing to me as rocking with Nicholas. This morning I enjoyed a little piece of heaven by getting out of bed with my sleeping baby and going to the front room to rock so that he could enjoy a few more moments of restful sleep. The little guy is having a tough time with the whole sleep thing thanks to the teething issues. I feel for him.

He and Mark and I enjoyed a visit with my dad last night. We went to Jack Quinn's, an Irish pub here in town, for dinner. Nicholas enjoyed a hearty meal of part of both Grandad and Daddy's shepherd's pie. I enjoyed some fish and chips for the first time in many years.

Nicholas needs to see his grandparents more often, I think. He only would "hang out" with Grandad because mom was sitting right there with him. But maybe it is separation anxiety rearing its head. He does not like at all when I go out of his sight lately...and Daddy isn't much better. At times it can be quite frustrating, but I love that he loves me so much.

Perhaps we'll get two posts in today since I've started early. I'm really liking this new direction I'm taking...maybe it was just time to make a new place for myself.
