Falling behind on blogging once again. There never seems to be enough time for anything out of the necessary now. Being a mother is so great and I wouldn’t trade it for anything but I do wish that I could visit some time genie and be granted a few extra hours a day. Daily I get about an hour between putting James to bed and putting myself to bed. So I have a choice each night between tidying up, spending time with the hubby, writing a friend an email, getting ready for the next day, reading or the option I haven’t been choosing lately – blogging.

I can not believe our little guy is turning 6 months in less than a week. That is CRAZY! Its like we’ve jumped into some time portal or something. Its been amazing though to watch James learn how to sleep through the night (which he learned at 2 months – Thank God!), smile, chitter chatter, play with his toys, eat mushed foods and roll over (that one was in the last week.) Things have changed after becoming a mommy that’s for sure. I find myself thinking about James all the time subconsciously – what is he wearing, is he warm enough? is he hungry? is he tired? Getting ready to go out now takes half an hour to get ready which has been a big lesson for Jonathan who was accustomed to just putting his coat on the moment we walk out the door.
Happy to report that James has gotten used to us as we have to him. Geez, thank goodness, I wouldn’t know what to do if he hadn’t. He doesn’t know any different after all. The little munchkin seems to enjoy watching his dad play video games and joining in the trance jam sessions. He seems to be fine with my daily escapades and meeting new friends.
This summer everything seems new and exciting as we watch James eagerly exploring his new world. (You should see some of his concentrated stares – no blinking for over 5 minutes straight!) We are happy to have so much family and friends coming to see our side of the world and no doubt meet the new family member. Sigh… wish summer would last forever
