Change...

I can't believe it's been a month since I left my job. We (Trav, Barend, and I) are still in the process of transitioning. For the past 3wks, I've been able to sleep when Barend sleeps and that's made all the difference. He's on a late night schedule (going to bed at 11:30pm), which I don't really mind too much, but getting up at 10:30am is sometimes frustrating, but I'm not complaining : ) He only woke up once (for the 1st time since he was born) during the night last night. I couldn't believe it : )

Since I've been home with him time doesn't really exist. It's gone by so fast and the days just blend in together.

He is also a year old now. We had a party for him on Saturday which turned out to be a blast : ) Barend didn't "dig in" to his birthday cake as much as I thought he would. He, very meticulously, picked off one of the mini oreo cookies I had used as the froggie's eye and proceeded to eat it. He then went after the other mini oreo and just when I thought he lost interest in the cake, he dragged his fingers across it and got a handful of frosting. Just too cute! He also didn't really take an interest in opening presents, although later the next day when I wanted to put away all the gift bags and tissue paper, he suddenly wanted to explore and find out what was inside them. Barend wanted me to say thanks to everyone who came and for the presents : )

Not walking yet, but getting there. Standing up next to everything and a couple nights ago he was in the middle of the room and stood up on his legs with his hands on the floor. I thought he was going to do it right then, but those silly socks that I put on his feet to keep them warm made him slip and slide and when I went to take them off of him, he lost interest and started playing with his toys.

I'll post some pictures, once I figure out how to download my camera : ) Gotta go!
