Oh What a Night!

The Royal wedding of Prince William and his bride Kate wasn't the only thing keeping people awake and out of their beds last night.  Jack decided to throw down a challenge for his two sleep-loving parents.  His cries for comfort started around 12 am, and continued on throughout the night.  He went round for round with us.  He started with me, then moved on to his mom.  At one point, the double team of flustered parents still wasn't enough to console him.  We tried everything: rocking, feeding, changing, a bouncy chair, wiping of the nose.  Shoot, Angie was even ready to give breastfeeding a try to check one more thing off the list.
When all was said and done, Jack won with a technical knockout.  He had mom on the rocking chair sleeping for the last two hours of the night while he maintained his spot resting comfortably on her chest.
I feel almost stupid for having posted the adorable pictures in the previous post.  That sweet, content baby boy was not the one we encountered last night.

This is what I encountered before I left for work.  Who takes a picture at a time like this?  I do apparently.

  

And yet, through it all, we can't possibly be upset.  Exhausted, yes, but not upset.  The look on this little guy's face in the middle of the night is just so innocent.  It's as if he's apologizing for keeping us up, and asking that we just bear with him.  He's tired too...and he just needs our help.  It actually makes us feel pretty good.
