You may have noticed that for the past six weeks or so, I’ve been blogging every week day instead of my previous 2-3 times per week. I’ve always wanted to try a more frequent blogging schedule, and now that I have a little extra time in my days I thought I would give it a shot. I’ve been second guessing my decision though.

He: >Laughs! Sometimes! Well…he’s done it a few times anyway. >Also smiles at anyone that looks him in the face. >Wears 6-9 month clothes, but is in between the small and medium diaper sizes, so he tends to leak at the moment. I have to send at least three pairs of pants with him each day just in case. >Still has the bump on his head from his cephalohematoma. Supposedly it will reabsorb eventually, but it’s going very slowly. I like to rub it. >Loves the mirror. >Can roll over both ways (mobility is coming)!! >Is a squirmer. >Constantly has his hands in his mouth, but he hasn’t started producing too much drool yet. >Sleeps well almost every night to…

I’m on my own with the kids until Sunday evening! I didn’t exactly plan it this way, but it worked out so that we have lots of stuff to do to fill the time. I’m hoping it’ll keep the tantrums to a minimum. Here’s what we have going on. Friday afternoon/evening Go for a run before picking up kids (maybe) Meal plan – I usually do this on Saturday but since David’s not around to do the shopping & we’re busy Sunday I want to shop a day early Dinner at Mom & Dad’s house; hopefully do some work on Liam’s stocking while we’re there, and also “shop” their house. My mom has a bunch of old furniture, frames, and…
