Wow - I am exhausted!!!! I am not loving this taste of "single mom" life. It is HARD. I have a new found respect for single parents. I am lucky enough that I don't have to work, I can only imagine the added exhaustion and stress that would cause.
Jack is still completely crazy. He was starting to sleep so well, and then my best friend Julie came for a visit and he reverted to his old stinker ways. Hopefully I can get him back on track soon.
I can't believe he is almost 7 months old! Outgrowing his 9 month old clothes, scooting around the floor, reaching for things with all his might... It is baffling to me how we got here. Almost crawling! Showing me more and more of his personality every day. He is FEARLESS. Therefore, I am doomed. He literally tries to jump from my arms to get to something he wants to touch or play with. He throws himself around in his swing so bad that I can't walk away from him even if he is strapped in. He is constantly wiggling, playing, observing... It is fascinating to watch this little person grow. He loves shadows and his reflection. He loves mangos and avocado (fancy baby?!) he still goes crazy over his books. He is the joy of all my days, even though I could crawl into a ball and cry or die from being tired.
We are missing Kyle so much. I am so thankful for technology and that we can FaceTime everyday. Kyle will play peekaboo with Jack so I can do some dishes (hey- parenting long distance?? It works!)
Anyway - I'm just stalling doing my dishes and laundry. Here are some fun pictures of the little Devil boy.
you are supermom. i love these photos - and jack's fuzzy sweet hair! the baby boy has great taste - mango and avocado!! :)
ReplyDeletei know as much as you want these months to pass quickly to see kyle, at the same time you want them to slow down as your little man grows - i hope it's just the perfect mix of fast and slow, beautiful mama.
and i hope you're getting some sleep. <3
