A Quiet Thankful

thankful #10: a time of day

I can't decide between two times... so it's another bonus day for you guys! 

1. Jack's first nap 
I love putting him down for this nap because it is by far the easiest he will go down for any nap.  I love rocking him {I know, I know... it's a bad habit... but I love it so back off!} and smelling his hair {Johnson and Johnson shampoo smells like Disney World to me} and kissing his cheeks.  It is also the longest nap that he takes so I can get stuff done... or take a nap myself. 

When he wakes up he is such a happy boy.  I usually spend a few minutes sitting on the floor next to his crib, just shooting the breeze with him and watching him work on crawling.  I love how he reaches for my hands and when he gets a grip he will just hold my hand and smile at me.  I'm a little worried that if he continues to be so cute that my heart might explode.

2. Jack's bedtime and the quiet time/sofa time following his bedtime
Watching Jack splash around in the bath tub is fun. Watching Josh play with Jack {and get him annoyingly riled up before bedtime} is adorable.  Reading books, saying good night to his night light and rocking him is soothing and wonderful.  That sweet, sweet moment after I lay him down in his crib, when I quietly creep down the creaky stairs and sucessfully make it to the bottom without waking him is great.  Laying on the sofa with Josh, a plate of oreos and a dvr'd episode of 30 Rock is the icing on the cake!!
