Last Friday Jack spent his first night away from home. He's only 9 months old, but when we 
thought about it, we have been lightly sleeping, ears always tuned to the baby monitor. Our friends Tara and Kim were totally awesome and volunteered to take him from the night. We were nervous, and I was so afraid that Jack would be sad when he realized we weren't going to be around at bedtime. But, when we came over the next morning to pick him up, he barely acknowledged that we were there! That's good for him.....but sad for me!

Although I didn't get the ticker-tape parade I expected at our reunion, I've noticed that he's been a little more cuddily this week, especially at night time. Not sure if it's all connected, but it's definitely more than welcomed! I've missed having a tiny baby to hold all the time, though I enjoy this new, fun, independent stage.

You're too sweet, Jen. He was absolutely the best ever... he did miss you and was excited to see both you and Jamie!
