Miles with Grace

I thought I had more time

One night he's sleeping peacefully in his crib...

The next night I catch him up to no good...

I was expecting D's next milestone to be sitting unsupported, like all those baby charts say. He skipped right over that and went straight to crawling and almost standing? What?!?!? When I say "skipped" he can't sit by himself, I see all the other six month old babies in the church nursery hanging out, sitting around looking at each other. And where is my kid? Crawling/scooting wherever he can. Someday we'll get the sitting phase. Today is not that day. If he is like his dad... Never;-)

If you count the bumbo as sitting, then I guess he does.

He would much rather his friends be in the chair and he can be free.
I thought I had more time before he became mobile:-/
Not the most flowing post. I know.

And this is my afternoon

In love with my afternoon...

Neglecting you

Blog, thanks for your patience. I've been neglecting you.

I am not sure how full time working moms do it. And by do it I'm talking about work, keep up with the house, husband and devote your time to your little ones. Somewhere things have to lack? Or am I just not capable? I'm leaving the house at 4:30am and coming home exhausted:-/ I end up in bed by 7:30, then Drews home around 8:30. I say hello and fall back to sleep.

Mom, with 5 children... How did you do it? I'm officially putting you in my Super Hero book, you know, right there with Superman.

The good news is that this "full time" stuff is a season! It's been 7 weeks and I have 1 week left! Then I go back to my preferred 1 day a week. This has been a real eye opener to how blessed I am to have a husband who is on board with me not working a 40 hour work week. Also, where I was lacking in housework he was picking up most of the slack. I think he will be happy to have his wife back. Did I mention I'm grumpier than usual?

Here are some pics from the last couple of weeks...
