Yay! A snuggle baby!

October 16th, 2008

Zeke has been asking us to hold him like a baby before bedtime. We LOVE it! From the time that he was only a few months old, he has been so alert and wanting to see what’s going on, and he rarely would lay still and let us hold him like a baby. He is learning new tricks for stalling and delaying bedtime, and I think this new “hold beebee” is his best yet! It melts our hearts. He lays there and smiles while we sing to him, he is so precious!

He thinks it’s the funniest thing when we smell his feet and say, “oh, stinky!”

Another one of his very effective stalling moves is to be really cute and funny on his slide. The other night, Jimmy and I watched him do tricks on his slide for 45 minutes, and it was already 2 hours after his bedtime! We just love these moments when he’s in such an entertaining mood!

After all that, Zeke made sure we each still got our turn to “hold beebee”.

Even though it makes bedtime prep twice as long, I treasure the time I get to hold our baby like a baby, because to me, he will always be that.

    Oh man that is so cute. I love bed time too. I know Hannah uses tricks to get me to stay longer and I usually fall for it.
    BTW, where did you get those cute dinosaur jammies?

    Snuggling is the best! Jack is so much like Zeke in that he has hardly ever wanted to be snuggled, but Britton and I were saying just yesterday that he has been much more into it lately and I right there with you – it so melts my heart! Zeke’s half-moom smiley eyes are the best!

    There is nothing more wonderful than to be able to hold someone we love and to see them happy. I love these pictures of Zeke as a “beebee”. Once, when Grandpa and I were tending Zeke on his Mom and Dad’s Anniv. he let me hold him like a “beebee”, and I loved it so very much. Zeke, you are so dear to all of us. Grandma
