*Lovey Alert*
Watching T with our son, taking care of him, loving him when he's mad, and yes, changing those poop-filled diapers reminds me why I fell in love with him in the first place, and makes me fall just a little bit more in love with him.
Something I did take note of when we were dating was just how great he was with his nieces and nephews. My mom once commented on how natural T was with the baby. She said something about how some men are somewhat awkward with their babies, they don't know how to handle/hold/change them etc... T, on the other hand, is just the opposite. It's like he was born to be a daddy.
I digress. Along with all this responsibility of looking after our young one, T has taken over night duty so I can get some sleep (he saves my life everyday!). Due to the fact that I am a much lighter sleeper than he, and I would wake up before him to tend to the baby if the baby was in the room, T moved both himself and our child into the living room to sleep on weekdays.
A few weeks ago, T inflated our air mattress in there so he could get a comfortable night's sleep. Somehow, that air mattress has morphed into the living room staple. I don't know what we did without it being inflated! We keep it inflated at all times. We eat on it, watch movies on it, baby J takes his naps/plays with his feet on it, and we generally play around on it.

T is very good with kids! Steven is one of those awkward men that looks like he'll drop the baby!
What a good man and daddy!
Haha how sweet! That's what we did when Addie was that age and not sleeping through the night...except i slept on the couch. Haha your phrase "_stable" made me laugh. Air mattresses have that enticement i think. Last summer when we camped out in our living room because it was the cooler part of the house- we inflated our air mattress too and it had the same effect :)
