A World to Discover

I hate that I don't update this blog more often. Life just seems to continue to move onto fast forward motion. Baby K's favorite words now are blah blah blah. I love driving and hearing his baby babble in our car rides. It's definitely better than some of the radio chatter that goes on! He's also gotten very attached to mommy. As soon as he sees mommy at his baby sitter's house, he's all smiles and reaching out his chubby arms. Mommy's singing makes him giggle, mommy's morning dance makes him laugh, and mommy's hand for some reason seems to fascinate him.

Whenever he hears a new voice, he immediately is riveted. I love discovering the world through my baby's eyes. Everything is so fresh and clear. I've definitely gained a better perspective through him. Sorry this entry is short, baby K needs his nap!

Ahh the weekend

I'm so glad it wasn't frigid cold this past weekend. Baby K and I enjoyed walks Friday,
Saturday and today. On Friday night, I took him out in a stroller, he loved it but kept staring up into mommy's face a lot then promptly fell asleep. By the time the walk was done, I was huffing/puffing and had a pretty good amount of sweat. Who knew pushing a stroller would turn into a workout?! I didn't! Haha But I felt exhilerated. Came home, fed Baby K, took a shower and he fell promptly back to sleep. I then got to watch Ghost Whisperper. I actually love the show!

So on Saturday, I took baby K on a walk in a baby carrier so that way he wouldn't fall alseep and instead enjoy the outdoor scenery. He loved that also! I can tell he was taking everything in. I hope he grows up to really appreciate and enjoy nature. Today, I tried the stroller again, not 5 minutes into the walk, he was falling asleep. We didn't walk for too long and now he's down for a nap. The weekends go by way too fast. I just hope the good weather keeps up so baby K and I can spend more time outside. He has a lot of energy for a baby!

Last but not least, I got to have lunch with Auntie H yesterday. I always come back so relaxed after enjoying a little adult leisure time. Everyone keeps telling me I need to do more of it, but how do I tear myself away from my favorite little man?? I'm sure the day will come when that becomes possible so in the meantime, I'll just keep reading about learning how to balance things! Hope everyone had a great weekend also!

I know I'm a mom because....

1. The slightest peep that comes out of baby K's mouth has me on high alert. Showering has not been the same.

2. I'm always running 10 minutes behind...everywhere. Gotta pack the diapers, extra clothing, formula...

3. When baby K is with grandma, running around doing errands is the most relaxing thing I do now.

4. I'm now a pro at eating and putting makeup on with one hand.

5. Mothering is so second nature now, I even mother those at work. Co-worker has the sniffles, I'm on hand with a cup of tea. :)

6. Hearing any baby cry now tugs at my heart.

7. I find myself distracted at work because I'm gazing at baby K's picture.

8. My face lights up the minute anyone asks me about baby K.

9. Songs on the radio that sing about any kind explicit thing worries me.

10. I wake up by at least 6:30 everyday including the weekends! :)

Here is a recent pic of the two of us!
