Routine?

Not much to report today - just an excuse to post some pictures. Last night was a pretty decent sleeping night for Mr. Jack, despite all expectations to the contrary. Sometimes he sleeps better when swaddled, sometimes (last night) he sleeps better when he can flail his arms around. He's broken out of just about every swaddle I've ever put him in, which is both a testament to his tenacity and my poor swaddling skills. Our friends got us a Woombie, which he really doesn't like, but perhaps I need to tough love it and force him in it another couple nights to see if it works. He struggles so much in it that I fear he's going to choke himself, but maybe that's just new mom anxiety and not an actual concern? For now, I'll keep using the swaddle blankets, since they seem to be the one that lets him consistently sleep the longest, even if he does bust out of them.

Tomorrow I'll be doing my first solo drive with him. Going into the city for a dr appt (mine). If you hear about a massive traffic backup in the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel because some crazy lady stopped her car to nurse her screaming baby, that's me.

Also, loving the I'm-pretty-much-asleep-so-my-facial-muscles-are-experimenting smiles as he lays there in a milk coma. Can't wait for the real ones...

Thrilled to be photographed with his mother
