Day 5: My Favorite Bed is Mom

Cass is already acting like a teenager: he loves to stay up all night and sleep all day. Not exactly model baby behavior, considering i'm on bedrest indefinitely. I'll spare the ugly details, and leave it at "Ouch." Daddy Ryan brings supplies and food upstairs to the bedroom, and I mostly sit and stare at our little nugget. It's hard not to.

Remember that adorable photo of Cass sleeping peacefully in his bassinet? It was a cruel kind of trickery. He duped us with an eager desire to please, later recoiling from any form of proper sleeping apparatus for infants. He prefers a human cradle.

You'll also notice he is wearing clothing in this picture. It's just a tiny white undershirt with front, kimono-style snaps, but it's a big step nonetheless. We generally like to keep him naked and swaddled, so we don't have to pull anything over his head. This is Dad's idea, and we all agree it's a good one. Luckily, it's not the middle of February.
