Morning people, Part II

I've mentioned before that none of us - not even the dog - are morning people. We gripe and groan and would sleep until 10:00 if we could. (Although these days, 8:00 feels late!)

We're lucky that, so far, we've been blessed with a great sleeper. Jackson usually clocks about 8-9 hours a night, waking up once for a feeding and then going right back to sleep. (I've even had one six-hour stretch of sleep, after which I felt like a million bucks!) And when Jackson wakes up, unlike his parents, he is just always in a good mood. Most mornings, I wake up and look over and he's just lying there checking out the world.

Last night Jackson slept in his own bedroom for the first time. (It kind of made me sad, I have to say.) This morning I woke up, cleaned up our room and got ready for the day, then wandered into his room about 8:30. He was just chilling out. He even offered up a half-smile!
