So I haven't really gotten very far with my 101 just yet. I have read a few books to Locke, and I tried a new recipe, and I've been on some walks. I've also started a book that I hope to finish in the next couple of days, and I'm working on that Penny Press magazine. So at least I'm underway.
Locke is almost 3 months old now! He's learning some new tricks that are kind of fun to watch. For example, he is starting to play with toys now, so when we lay him on his playmat, he has a heck of a time. I thought I'd be getting tired of the constant bells and chimes of his toys once he started playing with them, and especially things like the monkey and flower he has that light up and sing when he hits them just right, but so far I just get all goofy and proud that my little boy is figuring out his world, and don't give two poopies about the noise. That is one hell of a long and rambling sentence I just wrote, and I've decided to leave it because it perfectly illustrates my mental and physical state these days: cluttered and overworked. Yup, that's me.
I'm very jealous of all the moms whose babies are the same age as mine, but are sleeping through the night. Right now that looks like a distant and unattainable dream. Locke is still up at least 2 times a night, sometimes more, and because he's so little for his age, I am loathe to try and soothe him back down without feeding him. Little guy is still playing catch up, you know? I am happy to report that he's into his 0-3 sized clothing now. It was slightly nostalgic, putting away all his newborn sized threads, but mostly I was excited to have solid evidence that he is actually growing and putting on weight.
Up next--in 2 weekends we are headed north for Matthew's mom's 50th birthday party. That's going to be a 6 hour drive minimum, and probably much longer because of the baby. That could be interesting...
