Who else could wake us up at 4 am and make us smile?




Jack is a pretty good sleeper as newborns go. He usually wakes up about 3 times at night, and he sleeps a good few hours in between. He's really happy to get his diaper changed and stretch his legs out a bit (usually spurring some projectile pooping-I asked him the other morning if he couldn't warn us with a hollar of "fire in the hole!") Then we wrap him back up and he's zonked out for another few hours.
Jack seems to have an affinity for the color orange, or at least he really likes it when there is light coming through the orange curtains in the kitchen or the bedroom. He's also just beginning to watch moving things like the cool mobile Sean made for him that hangs over the changing table and the elephant mobile that Aunt Karen sent him. But then he also seems enraptured just staring at the wall. 
It makes me wonder if babies can see ghosts. I also wonder if babies know the difference between asleep and awake, or reality and their dreams? Reality must seem like a dream after being in utero, maybe there's no difference in Jack's mind between what he sees when he sleeps and when he's awake?
