Animals in the Bed!

Last night Jake insisted that Daddy snuggle with many of his stuffed animals. There were 7 in all!

Cats Keeping Watch...

Aww!

Nap Frog

A few weeks ago I found out that I need to start traveling again for work (it was either that or be out of a job). This will be a huge transition for our family, but we are taking steps towards this change.

One of the things I have done is introduce Jake to "nap frog". Nap Frog has a frog head and arms and a soft, silky blanket for a body. Actually really cozy. So now whenever Jake is ready to take a nap we make sure Nap Frog is with us. That way when someone other than me has to put him down for a nap, Nap Frog will be there to help Jake .

Now he often sleeps holding Nap Frog. So sweet.

New Bed

My boy is growing up! That also means he is growing bigger... so we got him a twin bed and placed it next to ours. We'll put him to sleep in his bed and whenever he needs to, he can crawl over to us in our bed.

He was actually pretty excited about his new bed!
(And yes, the sheets are pink. I used to sleep on those sheets, so they are very soft.)

Edited to Add: Jake slept all night in his bed!! He crawled into my bed when it was time for his 6am nursing session. Fabulous. I, however, didn't sleep that well since I wasn't accustomed to the amount of space I suddenly had. I'm sure that won't last long.
