Sleepy Head

Jonah rarely wakes up at night after we put him in bed, but every once in a while we hear him crying to get back up. On those rare nights that Jonah wakes up in the middle of the night I always get a little excited because he is soooooo cute when he is sleepy. Jonah is the most attached to me of all of the kids and loves to be held, but he is not nearly as cuddly as Sammy or Wyatt. During the day he never lays his head on your shoulder and relaxes his body so that he is completely pressed up against you like a limp noodle. He is always surveying so that he doesn't miss a thing. (Jonah and Wyatt are my analytical left brainers while Sammy is my social right brainer and future violinist). At night though, Jonah is the sweetest little guy. He lays his head on you and takes long relaxed breaths without caring at all about what is going on around him. His body is completely limp and warm and he is content just watching my face. I hate putting him back to bed and once just let him lay on me for over an hour even though I could barely keep my eyes open. He never smiles when he gets up in the middle of the night, but I always do.
