Jude loves bath time, especially now that he can sit up and play during them. We do a routine every night- dinner, bath, lotion, jammies, milk, prayer and into the crib. He usually will flip over in his crib onto his tummy and fall asleep within a few minutes. I can't even express how much this night time routine has changed our lives! He's asleep by 7:30 and we have the rest of the night to enjoy baby-free. Not that there aren't some nights where I put him down and miss him a little, but most nights I'm excited knowing I'll get a little free time to just be quiet and alone, or alone with David to watch movies and be just a couple again. He THRIVES off of this schedule and if we stray from it, he rubs his eyes and wonders why he's not in bed :) Jude is such a happy baby and I love being a mom and getting to take care of him. I never thought I'd love it THIS much. Being parents is even better than we imagined! I also love that next time will hopefully be even better since we have figured out what works for us with teaching a baby to sleep, first feedings, diapers, baby-gear and most other baby related things. I just need to document it all so I don't forget...
