*Yawn*

Just because something is obvious doesn't mean it'll occur to you in advance. Or at least, to me. For example:
-Babies sleep when they go for rides in cars.
-Babies who sleep all day tend to not sleep so well at night.
Add these two together, and you learn that when you spend most of your Thanksgiving driving from Los Gatos to Oakland, Oakland to the Marin Headlands, and then from there back to Los Gatos, you might get a baby who is VERY awake at three in the morning. Which we did. Surprise!
Fortunately, he was easy to keep awake the next day and slept great last night. However, today we drove down to Salinas and back, and I'm a little nervous about our prospects for sleep tonight. Wish us luck, because I'm REALLY tired. Why did I never notice how exhausting holidays were? Fortunately, Jonathan's aunt Beth lays out a mean Thanksgiving spread, and sent us home with tons of leftovers, so at least we have some tasty fuel to keep us running.

Also: Finn's new hobby? Dirtying the fresh diaper before it's fastened, or even fully in place. I think Jonathan went through three diapers in one change today, and I know I had one yesterday like that (yes, I'm changing diapers now). His other hobby: sucking on the knuckles of his index fingers, which is cute, especially when he can't find them and gets mad.

Here's Jonathan and Finn this morning, all snazzed up and ready to go:
