What happened to the last several days? They came and went so quickly. Time flies when you're having fun. Having Josh here was such a treat. I loved having him here. I only wish we had more time. I left off on Saturday night when he ditched us for some fun in downtown Chicago. On Sunday morning we went to church. Our church is a few blocks from the train station so Josh walked and met us just as we were getting out. From there we went to a rooftop brunch. It was so good and really enjoyable (thank you Reese & Talan!).
We came home that afternoon and Josh and I ended up staying up way too late talking non-stop. I love those nights. On Monday we woke up and headed out to the Memorial Day Parade in downtown Naperville.
It was a pretty lame parade but I still got chill bumps every time a big group of Vets marched by. We walked to a nearby restaurant for pizza after the parade and soon after I had to take him to the airport. Boooooooo. I was not ready to see him go. Having him here was the best birthday present ever. Thanks J. I love you way up to the clouds times infinity and back again.
It's crazy to me how quickly my baby is growing and changing. I only wish his sleep habits would change with the rest of him. He's still insistent on that middle of the night meal. The good news is that he's down at 7PM every night now. The bad news? If I miss that 7PM window homey will stay up until 10...at least! It sounds crazy but I speak the truth. He wakes up around 2:30 to eat. The good news is that he's back to sleep until around 6:30. The bad news? It's broken sleep so I have to run back and forth to put the
devil pacifier back into his mouth 8,345 times. He's been really restless during the day. Ten minutes in the bouncy seat and he's over it. On to the swing. 15 minutes in there before he's over it. On to the play mat. 15 minutes there and he wants to be held. No problem...except that he likes to stand now. He won't sit still on my lap. Check him out:
His legs are really strong. Maybe there are muscles somewhere underneath all of those rolls. Speaking of rolls....he started rolling over last week. Rolling and scooting. I walked out of the living room and left him on his play mat to grab a glass of water. I came back into the room and he had scooted, on his back, halfway across the room. He was hanging out underneath the curtains. The newborn phase is long gone. Fortunately, I am not feeling sad about it. I love, love, love every minute of raising him but I don't want to do it all over again. Good thing!!!! There is no turning back now.
Which brings me to the Kevin update. He is STILL hobbling around. Poor dude. Note to any of you women out there: if you hope to someday convince your hubs to have the procedure done, keep him away from Kevin for a while. You probably want to avoid having him share his experience. Maybe it's like childbirth and he'll one day forget all about the pain. I'll be glad when it's over too. I will seriously throw up if I find another bag of mushy, defrosted peas laying around. I just dry heaved a little typing that. So gnar.
What is the opposite of gnar? This little dude. He's mine, and I'm biased, but is he not the cutest little thing ever?
Okay, off to attempt to sleep. I don't know how I can. My bestie, Meilina, is coming into town tomorrow with her daughter Emma. We haven't seen each other in a year! For Reese & Emma it has been over a year. I am soooooooooo excited! More later. Thanks for reading!
