Soft Screeches

This morning Arlo woke up around 5 to eat, which is not abnormal. I fed him and put him back in his bassinet (which we will have to transition out of soon!), but he would just not fall back asleep. He’d get 90% there and then wake up. I, on the other hand, kept falling asleep (head smacking the side of the bassinet) while trying to keep up the rhythmic tummy patting or head rubbing. 

I eventually woke Jeff up and asked him to try his hand at subduing the beast since I was failing and too sleepy to continue. This was not the first (or second) time I had been up with the hungry fella, so I didn't feel bad asking for the assist. Jeff got him back to sleep soundly, but that only lasted for 3 minutes. Finally I pulled him into bed with us. Once he had settled in he looked up at me and just started talking. And talking and talking. Soft coos followed by soft screeches (soft screeches? Who knew). This went on for a good 3-5 minutes.

Today I am sleepy as hell, but that was WAY worth it. Little cutie. Let's do it again tomorrow morning.
