The never sleeping baby

My baby is curious about everything around him. If he could, he would sleep with one eye open just so that he doesn't miss anything. Now I love spending time with him but I only have two arms. It's almost impossible to get anything done because when he's awake, he wants mommy to play with him, carry him, cuddle with him, and basically be where he can see me at ALL times. I keep reminding myself that one day, he's not going to want mommy around and so I try to do as much as I can when he's napping. But lately, napping doesn't happen very much or it doesn't last very long.

Auntie H visited on Sunday and sure enough Baby K was in his baby carrier. I love it because it allows me to have my hands free and at the same time he is still attached watching me do chores. I have to admit when I pass by a mirror, he looks adorable just hanging there like a little monkey and it also makes him laugh when he sees himself, but am I getting carried away here? I read about putting your baby in a carrier while doing things around the home and not just using it outside and I do like the idea of finally putting it to use but I think it's just making baby K get even more attached to mommy.

But he's growing so fast! Everyday he changes right before my eyes. I can't believe the tiny little newborn I brought home from the hospital just 3 months ago is now this baby who is getting pretty heavy in my arms! I am gaining major muscle strength. And he loves to play. As active as he is, I don't know how he can go so long without sleeping. However the little guy is asleep right now. Amazingly. Actually he has a tiny cold and so after a warm cuddle with mommy tonight, he fell into a peaceful sleep. I have a feeling he will be stirring soon so I better get other things done fast. Hope everyone is having a good New Year so far!
