Pillow Talk
Sometimes, a boy just needs to spend some time with his father. For Matteas, that time was around midnight. He had eaten, been changed and burped, and still he wasn't content. I tried holding him in different positions but was agitated and kept grunting in frustration. Finally Aaron took him from me, held him close to his face and asked "Do you just need some fellowship?" Matteas instantly settled down and though he remained fairly animated, it was an engaged, content sort of animated and not the grumpy goat routine he'd been giving me. As it turned out, he really did just need some fellowship. They talked for a good half hour before Matteas was satisfied enough to go to sleep. He is quite the social baby, and if we're in bed and the light is off but he feels like talking he gets VERY unhappy and will squirm and grunt until I turn on the light and sit him up so he can see me. He really likes being talked to and able to make eye contact, which is all very sweet unless it's three o'clock in the morning and we've been talking for an hour and I can no longer see straight. Currently, Matteas is curled up like a little kitty cat on Aaron's chest sleeping, which means I should get in bed and get as much sleep as I can before Matteas feels the need for a chat.
