Time Flies

Wow, where did last week go?? I don't remember time flying this fast pre-baby. If you're wondering, I'm very happy to be back at work. I'm so thankful that my mom offered to watch Robbie this summer so that I could go back. Without her help, I'm not sure what we would have done. BTW - I got a promotion upon my return. It's just a title change but even after being away for 3 months, they still make me feel valued here. I work for a great company!

Robbie is doing great and he can finally go out in public. His first outing was on Memorial Day to Sandy Lake Park and we went to Avery's softball game on Saturday. I've yet to venture to the grocery store, restaurant or mall with him. Baby steps, my friends (no pun intended).

I just packed up all his newborn clothing and loaded up his drawers with 3-6 months (he catches up fast, doesn't he!?). Many people tell me that I'll miss the days when he's this little, and I probably will, but each new day means to me that his esophagus is getting longer and his trachea is getting stronger. That puts a huge smile on my face.

Last but certainly not least...Robbie has started to sleep through the night. Hooray for us! We've started to do his last feeding around 9, rock him to sleep until 10 ish, put him on his Mountain Climber and wake him up around 6:45 am. I wake him up! It takes him several minutes to finally open his eyes. I mean, so long that I walk him from our room to the kitchen, sit down and give him his prevacid solutab then walk him to his room and get half way through changing his diaper. When he finally opens his eyes, he gives me this quizzical look like, "What the..."

Joel's back to work, I'm back to work, Avery's out of school...it's going to be a busy summer!

Love this smile!

Robbie's first outing...dude, turn out the lights. It's bright out here.
