Eeeeeekeeeeekkkkkkk… ummmmmmmaaa… aaaaaaaaeeeeeeeeeee…

Translated babyspeak: Hi Ya’ll! Check out this super hip red plastic lid!!! This lid is one of my favorite things right now . . . which is to say, it’s a favorite for almost as long as I’m holding it. The best part about this red lid is that I haven’t actually seen it before, which means that maybe I’m not suppose to have it, which means I simply MUST have it. Oh, and because I’d just starting teething about the time this picture was taken, I had to taste it too, as you can see in the other picture. Mmmmmm… mostly a plasticy texture with a plasticy finish. Yum! You know, I taste just about everything these days. If it’s within my reach, I’m gumming it! So far, I think I like iPhones the best, followed closely by water bottles and my crib.

No this blog has not been abandoned

Such a smarty pants

Yes, well this blog may seem a little slow to update and the photo of the day project was a bit ambitious… who knew? Back to work, new office, staffing delights, nursing, diapers, filling a real estate class, sleepless nights, and any free moment is spent mesmerized by this little person God has entrusted to our safekeeping. So the photo of the day was a bit much for Mommy to keep up with (Daddy knew it was doomed from the start) and the creative juices involved in creating witty posts seem to have gone the way of the fresh juice I used to enjoy each morning but we are hanging in there and giving this the old college try.

Going back to work was so much more intense than I expected it to be. I was only gone for six weeks but so much happened in that period of time… getting caught up and back into the swing of things has been intense. I find I work smarter than I did before the baby. Has anyone noticed that? I cut to the chase quicker, am more focused on the task, and seem to be getting a bit more done. Then again, it could all be a dream!

We took this cute photos one Saturday morning when JB was almost 11 weeks old. I hope you like them.
