NUK and Sleeping with Mommy

This picture I took with my cell phone and just thought it was a really cute picture of my little man!

So last, now that Rhett is a LITTLE older, he's sleeping a little less now and is a LITTLE more cranky -- if he's not being held. He is three and a half weeks old and already has me wrapped around his little finger! I decided last weekend that I needed to get him a nuk and he took right to it! :) I think we are all fans of the nuk -- now if only Rhett could figure out how to KEEP it in his mouth!

A week after Rhett was born, John had to go away on a business trip and left me at home to care for Rhett. Having a bed all to myself, I was too lazy to get up in the night to tend to Rhett, so I just had him sleep in my bed so I didn't have to get up to feed him, etc. Well, turns out he was a HUGE fan of that idea. In fact, he liked it so much, he slept through the night and only woke up twice to feed (granted I don't get him to bed until after midnight). And now, two weeks later, I still struggle to get him to sleep in his bassinet until the wee hours of the morning when I get up to work on homework. Actually, I don't think it's the bed so much as the fact that he gets to snuggle up to his mommy. Last night, I decided he'd probably sleep if I layed him next to me on the bed while I worked on homework. Well, Rhett had something else planned. He actually wouldn't settle down until I put all my homework away and layed down NEXT to him... the little stinker!. Anyway, I have included a picture of us sleeping on the couch. I was working on homework while John was playing a computer game with his friends (they do it once week -- kind of like a "poker night" except with video games over the internet), and alas, my exhaustion took over and I fell asleep. Well, John found me and decided to get out the camera and start snapping! I look awful when I sleep, but it's amazing how peaceful Rhett is when he's sleeping next to his mommy. He also likes snuggling with daddy too. He doesn't that many mornings after I get up to work on homework.
