Breaking dawn

Mac has a new habit of getting up at 5:29am on the nose. 

He wants a bottle and a book and will not be convinced to do anything else, even though it's pitch black outside.  

While I would greatly appreciate an additional 30 minutes of sleep, I also love getting an extra bit of quieter, cozier time with this little man. 

He's so much fun to play with *and* he understands my need for coffee. I press the button on the machine and he says "coffee!"

Lately he's been giving lots of love to our collection of babies. We might have to ask Santa to bring Mac a baby of his own. 

He's feeding big doll Cheerios this morning. 

And giving baby a toy.
