YES! He sleeps!



JT has slept in his crib every night since last Monday!  Woohoo!  I think he finally decided that the swing was getting a little too cramped for his growing body and once he  gave the crib a fair try, he realized he could stretch, toss, turn, roll, and just be more comfortable.  Nap times have gotten better too!  Seems like he can fall asleep anywhere now, provided he has one of his blankie babies to snuggle up with.  He continues to form his own unique personality and is keeping us pretty entertained.  We re-introduced food.  We had stopped feeding him food and went back to formula because he did not seem interested.

That's my boy!  Checking out Facebook!

Napping on the floor!

My cute little sheik

Chris and I went on our first date alone since we brought JT home.  We are extremely grateful for Samantha for watching him so that we could go see the Musical CATS.  Now... let me tell you an awkwardly funny story about our date....  I was all dressed and ready to go out the door when I realized I had a wet spot on my chest.  I thought JT had spit up on me, but I could not seem to get it to dry.  So I rushed in the closet to find another shirt that would go with my pants - and then we were out the door.  We dropped JT off at Samanthas and headed to the VonBraun Center for the show.  I stopped at the ladies room before we went to our seats and while washing my hands, I got a glimpse of my chest in the mirror.  TWO BIG wet spots!  I nearly cried.  WHAT in the world is going on?  I tried to dry it out - but it was dry.  I was so confused.  I came out of the bathroom embarassed as can be and pointed them out to Chris who replied "Um, are you lactating?"  At this point, the show was about to start - what could I do?  I went in to the  theatre with huge wet spots on my boobs.  Luckily, the lights soon went out.  On our way back home, I was racking my brain trying to figure out what I was getting my chest in to that was causing wet looking spots.... well.... can you believe it was my BRA?!  Yep, I bought a few of those really neat gel filled bras a while back.  I have not worn them for a while, but grabbed one that afternoon when I was  getting dressed.  That darn wonderbra leaked the gel stuff ALL OVER me!  And it won't come out!  I ruined two nice shirts and a camisole before I figured it out.  grrrrrrr .  So ladies... avoid the gel filled bras.  See... it is much better when I just go braless....  {{sigh}}  Despite the embarassing moment of walking around looking like I was lactating, we both had an incredible time.  This, by the way, was Chris' Fathers Day gift.  Next year, he will probably just get a tie!  Here are pictures taken of JT while we were on our date:
