Hey look at me!
I'm blogging! Mind you I am at the counter standing up because I have a very well founded fear that if I sit down, little D will wake up and that will be the end of blogging. Because while many mommies have learned to embrace one handed typing, I can't stand it. I have rediscovered many of my mom to an infant skills: sleeping in 20 minute increments, eating without taking the time to chew, acting like a sane person without any sleep (see #1), and being okay walking around the neighborhood in my pajamas. My friend Gina drove by the other day and popped in and was witness to the most frightening frizzy head of hair that I think I have ever displayed. But all joking aside, despite some L-O-N-G nights, the days are for the most part really awesome. It is a certainly a huge juggling act occupying Mizz and channeling his powers for good not evil, while also placating a baby that wants nothing more than to chill in his mama's arms all day long, but I am doing it. And with the help of the slings/wraps that a friend has lent (thank you Launa!), we have even had many fun outings together mostly at the park. The lights came on for little D about a week ago and he has long periods of alertness where he is checking the world out, smiling at his hanging toys, and blowing his parents away with smiles and coos. Around the same time he also learned to thrust his lower lip out in the cutest pout ever. D and I dropped Mizz off at school this morning, and then took a long walk by the waterfront. On the way home we stopped at New Seasons and spent a good chunk of change buying amazing looking berries and salad makings. It has been a perfect morning so far and if I can manage a shower I will call it a complete success.
