Missing....

Missing: One ladybug Baby Einstien toy and My Car book. I can't figure out where they are and I've been looking for them for a week now. What are we going to do when he starts carrying toys around? We'll never find anything!

Today is actually a big news day for us! First, this morning, William sucessfully rolled over from his back to his stomach. It was completely by accident and it only happened once, but he sure is working hard on it! While attempting to roll over, he is scooting himself around in circles on his play blanket. Today, I cleaned up 3 different areas of our carpet from William spit up deposits. We may have to invest in a carpet cleaner if this continues (why wouldn't it?). The good news on the spit up front is that it appears to be decreasing somewhat today. I think we were in the range of maybe 5 spit ups in a 3 hour period versus the 20-30 spit ups. We'll see if the pattern continues.

Right after his successful roll over - reaching for his block

Our son, the contortionist. Practicing rolling over


More practice and reaching. How frustrating! He pushes the block so he can't reach it and then get mad that he can't reach it...

The second big news event is I actually went to the Y to work out today. I have been feeling like walking just isn't quite enough anymore and it is getting to be stinking hot during the time when I am actually out there. It is the first time since William was born I have gotten myself there. And worked out. John called to tell me when he arrived and I met him in the parking lot about 40 minutes later to hand off William to him. It went well, although I have a feeling that I will be sore tomorrow from it. I am pretty darn proud of myself for this accomplishment - I almost took a picture to document the occasion and then decided against it because I was pretty sweaty and hot. While I was at the Y, I took a minute to check out their child watch facilities for future reference. I talked with the people working and asked 105 different questions about how they handle babies, sanitizing toys, crying babies, poopy babies and when the least busy time of day is. I don't think I will attempt a child watch this week. I think I will focus on my goal of working out at the Y 2 more times this week first. Next week or the week after I will make a goal of dropping him off for real.

Before I go to bed, I would like to thank my dear husband for making this day possible. It meant a lot that he supported me in going back to the Y and helped out with William to make it happen. It would have been a lot harder to go back to the Y AND put Will in childcare for the first time. I probably wouldn't have done it. Then when I got home, he even made dinner AND did dishes! What a great guy....Thank you!!
