Success!
Nathan passed his swallow study today – yippee!!! He’s back on think liquids. So what did we do when we got home? Well, it wasn’t pump…
Another week with Nathan
Thoughts at the end of another week home:
I am even more of an introvert with a baby. When it takes an hour to get the two of us out of the house is so easy to just sit on the porch instead. Going to the store, even a super exciting store like Penzey’s, feels like an extrovert’s errand that should be put off for another day. (I’ve been trying to buy spices all week… maybe it will happen this weekend…)
A lot of projects have been started and then abandoned this week because I got distracted feeding / playing with / staring at Nathan.
I must be really good at making clutter look pretty. We had a few visitors this week express amazement at the cleanliness of our house in spite of having a baby newly at home. Truth is, I just hid the dust bunnies and made the piles of junk more attractive, but it was nice to have the house called clean.
Formula really does make everything, from burps on down, stinky and sticky. Yay for being back on breast milk!
I can’t wait for Nathan to become really interested in books and reading (there are books everywhere from the two of us reading in every room of the house) but in the mean time it’s nice that he’s not picky about which books we read.
Nathan has started cooing and making vowel sounds! Finally sounds from our talkative boy that can’t be mistaken as crying. Apparently he talks even more than his Aunty Sarah…
Emptying the dishwasher is my least favorite chore and Nathan is a great excuse for not doing it. (Okay, I like washing the floor even less, but we just don’t let people look at our kitchen floor and that solves that…)
There must be an NPR gene because Nathan already likes listening to it.
In spite of (or maybe because of) the fact that they make doing laundry and cleaning the bathroom impossible, snuggly babies are the best.
