New Year's, sleeping arrangements, pictures...

I had been waiting to get all the pictures from my friend April from our wild and crazy New Year's Eve celebration :) We had been looking forward to it for 9 months! At about 1:00, I looked at Mark and he could barely keep his eyes open and neither could I. Oh well, we had a blast with the babies ringing in 2009!

We had been noticing that Wade was getting a little big for the cradle, and after waking up in the morning with Wade kicking the end of it, we decided it was time to move him into the much larger pack and play crib. He had decided to scoot himself down all the way to the end and just start whaling away! At night, after I feed him in our bed, I had been picking him up and moving him on this little mini-mattress with the wedges. He didn't even know he was being moved! Now, I actually have to pick him up (sans mattress) and move him- he wakes up every time! Needless to say, we didn't get much sleep last night...

We tried out the "real" crib in his nursery for a nap... That lasted about 20 minutes...I took Wade up to the school to meet my students and visit with the teachers. I was really excited to visit with Valerie and Rayleigh (Val was a 5th grade teacher last year)! He did really well and slept the whole time (much to my student's dismay). When the kids had gone home I had Sharisa hold him while I got prepped to feed him- her belly got in the way a bit! Then, he gave us all a big surprise!Today, I'm very excited to have Wade's pictures taken by our neighbor, Mollie Kendall. She does a great job. Check out her pictures: http://www.molliekphotography.com/. I can't wait to see how they turn out :)

In sad news, I have to go back to work on the 29th of this month. I always knew there was going to be an end to being able to spend all day with the baby, but it just came so quick! I'm going to be a wreck...
