Bedtime Routine

Just for fun, I thought I'd take pictures of our bedtime routine with James. Every night, around 8:00, we give him a bath, I give him to Josh to dry him off, Josh puts his PJ's on and swaddles him, I feed him in the rocking chair, Josh says a prayer for James, and then we put him to bed. It's funny because he knows what's coming next (ex. He starts acting hungry as soon as we swaddle him), and as soon as we put him down, he's out (for anywhere from 6-10 hours). Just thought I'd share this with you! :)

Wow! I can't believe how much he has grown. It's true the picture of you guys in the rocking chair he looks so big and you look so little. It looks like you have a great routine going! He is such a little handsome boy:)

Sooooo adorable! I love seeing these pictures. Thanks for sharing something so special to your family. Since we got our China-Doll when she was 15 months old we totally missed that sweet infant stage (and the sleepless nights, THANK GOODNESS!) and sometimes I miss it even though I never had it. Count it a blessing!

Jo Anna, I'm laughing out loud! I'll swaddle you next time you're here. =)

N, Yes! I did my first workout Saturday and am going to try to be dedicated now!! Thanks for your help with that. I think James liked you because he was definitely flirting right off the bat...until he crashed, of course! :)

AWare, I thought I'd spare everyone the part about the hooded towel...plus, that's sacred! That's between you and us and any other visitors we have!
