Random Ramblings

As I sit here to type this, I'm still rockin' my jammies, I have laundry piled up nice and clean beside me, and I have a sweet baby sleeping upstairs (*side note: thank goodness he sleeps better at home than he does at school!).  My heart is full and life is good.

R has been gone since Monday and while we miss dada, it has been nice to have some "just me and G" time.  Some real quality, "I don't have to rush around to get you ready for school, bath, bed, etc." time.  And truth be told, I love it (my time with G, not the fact that R is away).  I am trying to soak up every ounce of this time we have together this week before I go back to the grind.  I am hoping that this week will carry me through the rest of the school year until I am once again back at home.  Because really, as cheesy as it may be, home is where my heart is.

This is one of my favorite times of the day... just awake, ready to play, sportin' the bed head and still in jammies.

While normally I would be giddy about the fact that there are only TWO more days until the weekend, now I find myself exclaiming, "Awwww, only two more days until the weekend!"  Funny how perspective is everything sometimes.  Happy Hump Day, all!

Survival Mode

G came down with a bad cold and though my sweet boy finally seems to be on the mend, it's still lingering almost two weeks later. As any parent knows, the two things that will throw a wrench in a baby's sleeping routine are sickness and traveling. G has always been a pretty inconsistent sleeper, but to go from sleeping through the night/waking up once at most to waking up several times a night was a little disheartening. Poor baby just could not sleep well with his congestion, but I am happy to report that he has slept through the night for the past two nights (*fingers crossed*).

Even when he is obviously not feeling well, he is still the same sweet, happy and easygoing boy that melts my heart.

Is it too early to start the brainwashing?  :)

In other news, I started making G's food this week.  The Beaba is so incredibly easy to use and G seems to be enjoying his homemade grub.  So far I have made an apple/pear combo, butternut squash, and carrots.  Next up is a mango/banana mixture!  I slightly feel like a granola hipster/über mom nerd making it, but I like knowing exactly what is in the food he is eating AND it's cheaper in the grand scheme of things.  Bonus!

Freshly made food ... right next to my Skinny Cow ice cream.  Don't judge!

P.S. Did I mention that my Spring Break starts in just two days?  Survival mode until then... "I think I can, I think I can..."
