What to do....

I haven't blogged in way too long. I have a mental list of the things that are important to do during nap time. Sometimes numbers 1 and 3 might switch. Sometimes numbers 1 and 2 might switch. Sometimes I scratch the whole list all together and just hang out and do nothing.

List of things to do during nap time--
1. shower
2. eat something
3. workout
4. sew
5. give the four legged child some love
6. give the husband some love
7. blog

Notice number 7? Not so high on the list I suppose. But it made it to number 4 today! I successfully showered, ate, and worked out today. I could get lots more done if my little baby would nap a little longer than 40 minutes. But sometimes it's so tempting to just lay next to her for those 40 minutes and we can take a little snooze together. Don't worry....the husband had to work today, then had plans tonight so I didn't purposely ignore him. And I'm giving the four legged child some love right now letting her lay next to me on the couch. Don't tell the husband!

Life is crazy and I LOVE it. My days are filled with feeding, changing, playing with, napping with, and reading to an amazing little girl. The days go by too quickly and she's almost 6 months old. Half a year?? When did that happen? It feels like yesterday that we were in the hospital, nervous as hell, about to bring a new little life into the world. It's so cool to see her personality develop. The new things she's doing, the way she's reacting, the noises and faces she learns to make. I wonder if she'll be more like her dad or more like me or be a great balance of both of us. We're learning more each day. She grabs things now. She focuses and grabs it and then it usually goes right into her mouth. Unless it's attached to my face....like my lip or ear.....those she can't get to her mouth. But she tries! She's been obsessed with looking at her "sister". She follows her wherever she goes and thinks it's pretty funny when her head gets sniffed or her hand gets licked. I want time to slow down just a tiny bit. I'm learning to enjoy every minute a little longer each day. Stretch it out as much as I can. Because these past months have gone by so quick and I feel like my little baby is going to be all grown up before I know it.
