I cannot believe that June is upon us. It seems like I just went back to work and that was three months ago. I'm inspired by my friends who juggle parenthood with full time jobs and have time to blog about it. I can't seem to figure out how to do it all.
Miles is growing so fast! He's sitting up, eating solid foods (well, sort of...) and babbling all of the time. Every morning when we are getting ready he sits up on our bed in a boppy pillow. However, that is going to be short lived because he is starting to move all over the bed. Can you say falling hazard?? I just ordered a foam play mat for the living and dining rooms, and I guess I need to figure out to do while we are upstairs. What on earth do you do with a mobile infant while getting ready?? My singing and dancing will only last so long...I mean I'm entertaining, but not more entertaining than crawling around a room. I also suppose the idea of sitting down to eat cereal is going to be a pipe dream. Ahh, growing pains!
In the afternoons I pick him up from school and we stroll home. We have a lovely stroll, past Independence Hall, through Washington Square and the historic neighborhoods of Philadelphia. I often forget how cool it is that we live in such a special place in our country's history. When I get home and juggle Miles and Pearl, I need to remind myself that this is all part of the fun.
The evenings are reserved for trying to get Miles to enjoy his dinner, which is a bit of a test. So far the only thing he really likes is applesauce. I tried to feed him sweet potatoes--here's the video...
( http://http://sharing.theflip.com/session/d42f87a9aef000a8b6ff6f64b20201dd/video/14137291) last week and he lost it in his bumbo seat. Perhaps it is time for a real high chair. Before I know it is is 7pm, which means a bath and to bed!
Of course those few hours are the highlight of each day. It's a juggle and sometimes it can be very exhausting but being a mom is by far the best thing I've ever done. Period.
