From the mouths of babes,
A divine keening arises.
Stirring all parents.
We woke up this morning at 5am in order to catch our train back home. Now, you'd think that since Gabe only really napped for an hour or so to the station, and maybe for another hour on the train that he'd be ready to drop. He's not. As far as I'm concerned this just lends further credence to my theory that the energy sucked into black holes is used to power babies, and allows them to drool as much as they do among other gifts. No baby powered by mortal means could possibly still be protesting everything we do with the fervor he's sustaining.
Right now Michelle is feeding him his second bottle of formula after draining his first and milk-shake and hamburger. There are some ever so subtle signs that he might be ready to drop, which is good because both mommy and daddy are ready to. Next time we catch the later train, since getting home early really hasn't bought us much in the way of unwind time.
Still it is good to be back home, and the trip was a resounding success on all fronts. We just need to get back into our routine with Gabe and bring some sense of order to the chaos that vegging out over the wonderful holiday break created.

Update from Michelle: after a long day of travel, Gabe finally went to bed at 10 PM. He woke up once during the night, and then I woke him up at 10 AM. Chris and I both called in sick and we're all feeling more human now because of the extra day off. Hooray!
