davis' redeeming quality

isn't he so cute? it is a good thing he is so cute, it is his saving grace. i am not kidding when i say redeeming quality, i really mean it. he is a terrible sleeper. the other night i saw every hour on the clock (except 11). last night wasn't so bad, i was only up with him at 1:30, 4:00, and 6:00 and then he was up for the day at 7:00 - lucky me. someone asked me how i keep doing it and the only thing i can come up with is that the sun comes up and i can see just how cute he really is.

he is starting to eat cereal and loving it. and we just got the excer-saucer out last week and he is loving it too. he is full of laughs, smiles and stories. he loves to eat his hands, so we are constantly pulling out his hands and replacing them with his pacifier (i've heard that it is easier to get rid of a pas than fingers).

he loves isaac. isaac is the soft one with davis. he will hold him and talk softly to him, and davis loves to hear isaac play the piano. davis just turns inside out when he sees isaac coming and watches very closely whenever isaac walks away.

davis loves reagan and ethan too. they are just not quite so soft with him. they like to scare him and their new thing is to flick him. i have no idea where that came from, but i am not liking it. reagan knows how to get davis laughing. and then the rest of us start laughing too. and ethan just loves davis, and i think davis loves ethan too. ethan loves that he gets to share his room with davis. and whenever ethan is sad, he tells me that he needs a love from davis.

davis is a sweetie. i am not planning on getting rid of him any time soon. but i really would like to have a nice night's sleep really soon.

WOW, I complain when Kinsley gets me up, on occasion, at 3:00! Sometimes I don't think I can survive the ONE. I don't know how you do it.

I seriously feel for you! I'm not sure I could do it. He looks so cute in his excer-saucer.
We just started feeding cereal too...Kara loves it! I am also replacing hands with paci, it just seems cleaner or something. : )

you need to do what Mike and I are doing and pon your children off on people and take a week cruise just the two of you! In fact, my kids are down the street from you at Glen and Tonya's for the week. Think of me while you are looking at every hour of the clock tonight! :)

We know exactly how you feel. Beck is going through the exact same stuff. Maybe it's the age and they'll grow out of it soon... hopefully!

Wow! I hope you start getting some sleep soon! It is a good thing you are kind of used to no sleep, thanks to scrapbooking! Davis is a little cutie, for sure! Cute photos!
