Snapshots from the camera on my phone and random musings...







Every month I say, this is the best age yet. Jaime is doing all kinds of fun stuff lately, crawling, giving big huge hugs, standing up in his crib, "reading" by himself, saying dada, etc. We have fallen into a pretty good routine and quite simply have lots of fun together.
We hit the jackpot with childcare. Not having family nearby to ocassionally help with the bug has been more difficult than I would have expected. The work day has been covered for a while but the evening/weekend babysitter was harder to find. It felt like the biggest accomplishment to have that settled. And so we celebrated with a date night.
My most favorite time of the week is Saturday and Sunday mornings between 6:30am-9am. Jaime is an early bird so we are up by 6:30am every day of the week but Saturdays the three of us hang out on the sofa. We sip our coffee or milk. Chit chat. Clap our hands. Simple stuff but it is magic.
I try to find something fun for each weekend and this past weekend that was VH1 Save the Music Family Day. Most of the activities were geared towards an older kid but Jaime had fun at the drum circle and a storytime.
I think I am officially settled at work - I have found a favorite coffee spot, deli and bagel place. I have also located a very good burger (fyi- so far I vote Chicago for the volume of places with excellent burgers) and a great brunch spot in my neighborhood.
