The Grady Family

Happy new year from our little four-person family. (yes i counted the dog). HA

Its been a long few weeks for us - I went back to work the week of Christmas. This makes things hard for Cedric, as he took the night time feedings, and has been watching the baby alone during the day. Then of course, we were out in Michigan during Christmas weekend, and didn't get much rest. And then this week started. So today has been our first "relaxed" day in a while. Which has been kind of nice.

As I mentioned before, all of us have had a cold. Mine is receding - for the most part its gone (thank goodness!). CJ is feeling better also - Cedric did take him into the doctor yesterday to get him checked out though. They mentioned that he would probably need to sleep sitting up for a few days (they recommended in the carseat). So last night (as I am taking all night shifts during weekends) we ended up just sleeping on the couch together, so he could just sleep sitting up on me.

Cedric and I watched District 9 on DVD together, and ordered Chinese food. it was very romantic. we even had sparkling cider left over from Christmas. I'm pretty sure my standards for romance have diminished drastically. LOL. but it was a good time. The baby was asleep around 1:00 (as was Cedric - who treated himself to some nyquil which he didn't take at all while he was watching the baby). And here is the miracle. CJ didn't wake up until 6:20. thats right - 5 1/2 hours of sleep! it was amazing. and after a quick diaper change and a bottle, he fell right back asleep until 9:00. Which means that 1) his cold is getting much better, and 2) hopefully he'll start sleeping through the night soon! yay!

I'll upload some pictures soon, but right now laundry is calling my name! Happy New Years!
