We’re still here
I’m falling behind in my blogging. Reed is doing well. He is really developing and changing each day. I am still going almost every day at lunch to visit him at daycare. It makes it much easier to put in a 40 hour week if I can take a peek at him most days.
We got Reed a Baby Einstein activity center and he is really enjoying pushing the buttons to hear a song, making the little toys rattle and being able to sit/stand upright and supported. It’s actually caused him to start noticing Simone a lot more. I catch him smiling at her when she comes close, and he has been “petting” her (read he has been grabbing at her fur). She has given him a couple kisses but we try to make that as infrequent as possible given to where that tongue has surely been.
It is still hard to function at a high level with the general weariness that comes with the territory of being a new parent. I have to inject myself with caffeine lest I be a walking zombie. Chris is frequently seen downing Red Bulls and Five Hour Energy drinks. I hope our bodies will get used to sleeping less at some point. Reed’s giggles and smiles and his overall easy-going personality go a long way in energizing us.
We are settling into a mode where it seems weird to think of life before Reed. He’ll turn 5 months old next week but it seems like he’s been a part of us for forever. And I couldn’t ask for more than that!
