1 - My Aunt Denny and Grandpa and Grandma Smith came into town on Monday. I have not seen my aunt for about 2 1/2 years now and it was great to see her. She is so loyal about reading my blog which is such a compliment to me. She loved seeing Preston and Wesley - however the baby snatcher (my mom) kept taking the baby away from her! My mom is terrible. Aunt Denny, mom and grandma came over this morning to give the baby a bath and Wesley initiated them by tinkling 2 times (making sure to get them all). It was so fun to have them here - and it's always such a short visit :(
Here is a picture of Wesley in his bath - I love bath pictures:
2 - My aunt gave me this great book - perfect for moms. It's called: Simple Abundance: A Daybook of Comfort and Joy. Every day has a quote and a short essay to read about various topics that make you appreciate life more. I can't wait to use it every day. Thanks Aunt Denny!
3 - I have a strict policy that when your baby wakes up in the middle of the night you give them zero stimulation. Both of my boys have learned night time/day time really fast because of this. I never turn on the light, change a diaper (only when it is really bad), talk or look them in the eyes. Well - last night after I got done feeding Wesley I looked down and he had the biggest grin on his face (usually he goes right back to sleep). He started talking to me too - it was so cute. I couldn't help myself so I unwrapped him and started kissing him under his neck and he started to laugh and laugh. Well.... I paid the price for my weakness. It took me about 45 minutes to get him to sleep again because he kept wanting to play. With your second baby you just get so relaxed because you realize this time is so short (but I also do need to sleep) :)

Both of my boys are sound asleep and I am going to join them now (even though it is only 11:15pm). I must be getting older. Busy weekends wear me out!
