So, it's a Thursday night, yoga has been bailed on, baby boy is in bed and all is quiet. I planned on uploading more photos from our trip to Nova Scotia but I can't find my camera cord.....
So what has been happening for the past two months...
Starting in July I began working in our summer camp. That has been crazy, 7.5 hour days with 15+ children with varying diagnoses and no breaks. Some days I get home and I just want to melt into the couch and not move for hours. Other days I feel accomplished and want to continue to be productive. And some days I have a good cry. Working til after 4 pm and then rushing to pick up Colin from daycare gets me to 4:30 and then I have just enough time for errands before the dinner-bath-bed time routine starts.
July also brought the end of breastfeeding. I could have continued but Colin was too distracted and into breakfast food to do so. He would get down and play and fight me if I tried to get him to latch back on so we stopped cold turkey and never looked back. He hasn't shown the slightest notice of the change. He LOVES oatmeal, blueberries and cereals.
He's growing cognitively in leaps and bounds. He can sign 'more', 'eat', 'finished' and 'milk' although sometimes the context is off. He says 'up', 'gown' (for down), 'uh oh', 'oh wow', 'whoa' and 'puppup' (for puppy). He will lie down when asked for diaper changes and in the bath tub (it's amazing!) and brings things to you when he wants help with a toy etc. With this also came three teeth and some tantrums. But they are short lived and easy to manage at this age :)
Since I want to show our N.S trip with pictures I will wait until I find my cord and get back to you!
