All oiled up and nowhere to go...except to sleep

For the last 2 nights we've rubbed lavender oil on the soles of little c's feet at bedtime.

And for the last 2 nights, little c has slept almost 12 hours without interruption. No 2:30 cries for attention. No 4:30 cries for Mommy to run in and hear his latest joke he just made up. No 5:30 cries to show us how he can tie a cherry stem into a knot with his tongue (okay, he can't do that just yet, but I'm sure that N, the boy born on the exact same day as little c in his "class", can probably do it. This kid has 4 lbs on little c and can crawl. Douche).

Is it a coincidence? Maybe. But we're not going to try and find out by ceasing the oil rubdown.

Assisting Mommy get dressed in the morning by sucking on her purple shirt.

I can see him as a 4 or 5 year old in this photo. Weird. Not ready for him to grow up quite that fast.
