Happy Birthday, Papa!!

Well, today is Papa's birthday...Noah and I will get to see him this weekend to celebrate. We're all looking forward to it!!

Last night, we actually had time to add a bath to our bedtime routine. Noah had a great time!! He discovered how to kick his feet like he's swimming, and he thinks it's a ton of fun! Bathtime is so much fun for him, he can't sit still!! However, when it was time to lay down for bedtime, Noah was a good boy and laid there nice and still with his bedtime buddies as he drifted off to sleep.

In the middle of the night, he woke up crying, which isn't out of the ordinary (he'll do that in his sleep occasionally), but this time he wasn't stopping. Finally, I went into his room, and picked him up to bring him in the room with me. He just put his head on my shoulder and held on to me tight. Do one-year-olds get nightmares? Or is he not feeling well? I wish I knew....but for me and Noah in the middle of the night, we just wanted to get some sleep. Noah laid in the bed with me with his head on my chest as I held him. When I got up to get ready for work (much later than normal I might add), Noah woke up as soon as he realized that I wasn't lying by him. He sat straight up, and then had a look on his face like he was scared. Poor baby boy. I reassured him that I wasn't going to leave him alone, and that I just had to get ready for work. He kept his eyes on me the whole time. :) I hope everything is ok...

Sorry I don't have the photos scanned yet...I'll be working on it very soon. :)
