Max in His Crib

Sam has the flu, some might say it's the Man Flu, but I am just sayin' he has the flu. :) He slept so bad last night with a pretty bad fever and finally fell asleep early this morning. Max has been sleeping through the night until about 6, so this morning we tip toed out of the room and I fed him in his room. It was quite fun to be in his room and rocking him in his rocker because we don't get to spend that much time in there. It was a surreal moment that I tried to memorize. He did great feeding and I put him in his crib to get his clothes out for the day. He was so little in his crib and so cute to me that I just had to take a picture of him in his new jammies from Grandpa and Grammy...that are NB and still a bit big on him.





We hung out for a bit and Sam woke up to go to work. Poor guy has to work because there is no photographer on other than him this weekend. Going to work with the flu stinks! But gong to work with the Man Flu is near impossible. Hopefully he will get off early and can come home and rest. And hopefully Max and I don't get it. I am pumping vitamin C and other healthy stuff in both of us trying to get Sam better and prevent Max and I from getting it. Not only do I not want Max or I sick, but it is Thanksgiving next week! :) We are having two Thanksgiving's this year. A couple American friends and us are getting together Friday (which is technically Thanksgiving because it will be Thursday in the States) and then Sam's mom is doing Thanksgiving on Saturday. AND THEN WE ARE GETTING OUR TREE ON SUNDAY!!!! WOO HOO!!!! Still hard to fathom since it's getting so warm here, but today it is raining (though still a solid 71 degrees) and I have my pumpkin and spice candles from bath and body burning to help stay in the Holiday Spirit :)

I decided to see how Max did napping in his bed. He naps really good for his morning naps with little fussing so I thought maybe I would give it a try. We have had him in the stroller/bassinet up until now, so I wasn't sure how it would go. He did great and I checked on him a few times but did okay too with him being in there. It was so sweet to see him in his crib. He fussed a little bit right before he fell asleep and then he was out. So hard to leave him crying, even if it is only 5 minutes, but I keep reminding myself that he is learning to sleep and rest and sooth himself. I am always glad once his sweet little eyes are shut and he is sleeping so restfully.
