Winter Break Bliss

I cannot even express how thankful I am to have a break from the optometry school madness- and spend time only being a mother and wife. And by being a mother and wife I don't mean the typical cooking, cleaning, etc. things most think of. I have barely done chores since finals weeks. I mean the loving, cuddling, adventuring quality time I get to spend with my hubby and brand new baby boy. We have been busy busy- driving 13 hours each way to visit my family in Minnesota (Keaton was and AMAZING traveler), packing for a trip to Palm Springs (we're leaving Thursday), and planning to accompany Dan on a few more interviews before I return to school (a little nervous about a hotel with a 6 week old).
Keaton is getting cuter and sweeter by the day. He is a source of constant joy for us! Being a mommy is so much fun! He has started "talking" and cooing more and more. He smiles as a reaction to funny noises and faces Dan and I make at him. He is able to track our faces when we move. He is so content and happy almost all day long. He is even stretching out times between feedings to average closer to 3 hours (which seems like an eternity to me after 6 weeks of 2 hour increments). He has started sleeping better in the wee night hours and chosen a new fussy time- around dinner. He is becoming interested in the toys hanging on his bouncer. Our favorite thing to do is have "conversations"- he loves listening to voices and making silly sounds in response.
Now if I could only get the hang of this "sleep when he sleeps" thing. I better be off to bed. I just finished feeding him at 2. Is it too hopeful to wish for the next wakeup to be after sunrise?
