Sweet ity-bity little baby

Today, Hillary watched Ellie for a few hours (THANK YOU, Hillary!) so I could go visit my friend Alison who had a baby on December 21st. My plan was to watch Baby Jack while Alison got a little sleep, but she only ended up getting a few minutes of sleep after eating lunch and then feeding Jack. But I still got plenty of cuddle time with sweet Jack! He is so teeny-tiny! He weighed 5 lbs, 10 oz. when he was born and he hasn't gained much weight yet -- he's still in preemie clothes. I'm used to saying "I don't remember Ellie ever being that little" when I hold young babies, but I've never held a baby and said "Ellie was NEVER this little" -- she probably weighed 5 lbs, 10 oz. at 30 weeks! Anyway, in addition to being little, Jack is so sweet -- he makes the best facial expressions and just snuggled up and slept and slept! It was awesome to see Alison and to get a baby fix, but I was anxious to get back to my big, loud, feisty girl!

How sweet! Sometimes there is nothing better than a baby fix! And Allison is lucky to have a friend that would help her out like that.

This year has just flown by. It seems like just a few weeks ago that Damian was finding womb sounds to play on the lap top and you were using a hair dryer to keep her warm while you changed her!
