Hey all! Here's a first for the blog: I'm typing the entire post with one hand. My other hand is busy supporting an ever-growing baby as he sleeps on my chest. Brenda and I have been trying to develop techniques that allow us to look after our little one while also getting other things done. The baby sling has helped a lot with that. Brenda can put on the sling, pop the baby in, and (most of the time) he'll go right to sleep. Then she's free to move around the apartment and do whatever she wants. Unfortunately, I haven't had as much luck with the sling, but at least the one-handed typing thing seems to be working out.
Brenda's parents flew back home on Saturday after a short trip that was filled with lots of cooking, cleaning and baby holding. All of their hard work has allowed us to eat delicious home cooked meals everyday without a dust bunny in sight. They also babysat for us one afternoon so Brenda and I could venture outside to enjoy the spring weather. I don't recall the words "diaper" or "burp cloth" being mentioned at all during our outing. It was nice.
Brenda, the baby and I are on our own again until my parents come next week. We've got plans to visit our friends Barb and Michael tomorrow, which will be our first time going to someone else's place with the baby. We'll see how the little guy likes public transportation.
The baby woke up and he appears to be trying to communicate with me. It's hard to decipher what he wants, but what he lacks in clarity he makes up for in volume (where did I leave those ear plugs...). I'm guessing he wants a midnight snack, which means it's time for me to wrap this up. I hope you all have a great week, and we'll talk to you next Tuesday!
