I work part time Monday through Friday from 12-5. Jake comes home and gets to spend the afternoons with Naomi. I would rather be home all day with her but right now that's not gonna happen. So it gives Jake plenty of Daddy time. I spend all morning with her and she naps most of the afternoon. Works out well for him :)
He is a great Dad and husband. He sends me photos almost everyday. Here are a few....

This was Jake's first year as a father. Naomi had a horrible night leading up to Father's Day so I started the day of at 4:30. Naomi watched me as I made French toast for breakfast, which was slammin' by the way. We gave Jake his presents before break fast.
I had spent all week sneaking around getting these photos taken, printed, and put in a frame for him to keep in his office. Tracie (my sister in law) had done this last year where you take photos of your kids with the letters that spell DAD. Naomi did a great job and I thought they turned out really nice. Jake loved it!
We spent the morning hanging out together and then we got ready for church. Dinner was at our house this week. Jake requested butternut squash risotto and garlic pull apart bread. I also made some steak roll ups I had seen on Pinterest. Tracie brought dessert and it all turned out well!
Naomi loves her Daddy and I am pretty fond of him too.
She doesn't want to sleep...
Nomi can only sleep for about 3 hours at a time during the night. She doesn't always sleep in stretches that long mind you. She just won't learn how to put herself to sleep. I am unwilling to let her "cry it out" so I won't complain to much since we haven't really given it a real try. For now we swap off every few nights or so. I sleep in the spare bed in her room and Jake will take a night when I ask him to and I get to sleep in our bed.
This week I had one of the worst migraines hit me while I was at work. It was so bad that I couldn't see out of my peripheral vision and Jake had to load Naomi in the car and pick me up from work. That night Jake sent me to sleep in our bed. I only had to get up at feed her once around 3:00am. Love him and appreciated that so much. Naomi is almost 7 months so she doesn't need to eat during the night but she always screams as if she is hungry so for now she still gets a late night snack.
She is doing better with naps during the day. She even surprised me two mornings this past week with a 2 hour nap! She kept waking up during her late afternoon nap so Daddy held her for the last bit of it.
Love her to pieces though!
