February 26 -- Thank God for Nana

Well, Evan had a really tough night last night ... lots of gas & reflux. Poor little lamb. He went to bed at 8:30 but was up again at 3:30 to eat, then was gurgling and coughing and spitting all night after that. It was a very, very long morning with him. Nana got up with us around 6:30 and it was so nice to have her hands as I was already exhausted.

We got Evan together around 11:00 and then we were able to hit the road ... went to Target and the Container Store. Nana has bought Evan so many great things it's just silly.

Another vote for Evan for Baby of the Year: he had a terrible poopy diaper in the car at Whole Foods in Arlington and let us all know it ... however, after consideration, I couldn't change him in the car b/c the wind blowing in would have been too cold, so we had to drive back to our house from Arlington with him having a horribly dirty diaper. He barely fussed the whole way back, although he was clearly uncomfortable. Such a good baby. I honestly don't know what I have done right in the universe to deserve this terrific kid.

After that, Evan ate and then I got to nap for a little while. Another reason why Nana is amazing (other than the extra hands, all the cool stuff she bought for Evan, the loads of love & kisses she's showered him with, and the dinner she cooked tonight:) not only did she let me nap for an hour, but she let Evan sleep on her shoulder for TWO HOURS. didn't move, didn't do anything but let him sleep:
