WOW! Our baby is 10 months old.... How nice to celebrate Mother's Day and celebrate his Birthday at the same time. I haven't given an update yet on what Jonas is up to these days and we had a major milestone occur 2 weeks ago.....he started crawling FORWARDS! You may wonder why we're so excited but when you've watched him crawl backwards and get so frustrated it's very nice to see the forwards movement! He has become very efficient with his crawling but still hasn't explored the whole house. We're slowly baby proofing as he begins to notice "non-baby" items. He has also now has 3 teeth ( #61 for all you dental people!) and eats alsmost everything you and I do, minus the absolute no no's! We are also sleeping through the night...YIPPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! Finally after 10 plus months of having to get up in the night, I have now rediscovered the art of sleeping. Our normal routine is bedtime around 7 pm and wake up around 6:45 am.
My maternity leave seems to be slipping away as I return back on August 10th. I feel like the last 10 months have slipped by too quickly. There were many things I wanted to accomplish while on mat leave and not many things have been checked off that list. If you know me well, you know I'm a list person and at times this lack of accomplishment has frustrated me. And then I look at Jonas and I realize that this year off wasn't so I could check a few items off my list. It was a gift, given to me so that I could experience my little guy to his fullest and explore his new world with him. This is a lesson I need to remind myself of often, as I walk past the pile of ironing, incomplete scrapbook projects and that beautiful treadmill in the corner of the basement! Don't get me wrong....there is no excuse for not getting on that treadmill, I'll just wait until the end of the day!
I love your last few posts - you get me thinking too :)
ReplyDeleteI love it when they start to crawl. Walking comes too quickly after! You have an adorable young man.
