I want the good chairs!: Back To The Grind

This week was bittersweet for me. After 5 months off, I went back to work. Its sort of been a whirlwind of emotions. On the one hand I love being back with all my friends and really getting to stimulate my brain again. On the other hand, I'm not going to lie...I did LOVE having that time off. The mornings were so relaxing and enjoyable and while Liam napped I was able to get a million things done around the house. Now the mornings are one big blur and I usually feel as though I have run a marathon before I even get to work. Everything has to be timed just right in order for not only myself to make it out of the house dressed with a full stomach but also Liam. It all starts with me getting up and showering at 6:30 (in hopes that Liam sleeps till at least 7:15) and ends with us rushing out of the house at 8:15. Phew...I'm tired just thinking about it. Liam has been handling it really well though and doesn't even seem to be phased by the extra 2 hours he has at daycare. Luckily I'm only working till 2 these days, so the rest of the day I get to spend with my little man :)

Liam turned 5 months on Tuesday! Normally we take our 5 month pictures in the morning, but due to all the craziness we had to settle for the evening, aka "witching hour". Sadly this means that we do not really have any smiling pictures this month. I think next month we will take them on the weekend! At 5 months Liam is happy as a clam! He is drooling up a storm, talks a lot, LOVES his bouncy seat and exersaucer and rolls ALL over the place on the floor...front to back and back to front! As for food, we decided to stop that until 6 months. It seemed that everytime he started food he was getting sick, so we made a judgement call and decided that we would put off food until he was good and ready. As for sleep (both naps and nighttime), we have hit a slight bump in the road, but I'm praying its just a phase and they will work themselves out soon enough.
