Being a baby isn't easy. I really have to try to keep up appearances with all the new people I need to meet: family, friends, doctors, fans. They gave me a break for a few days when I was at home with Mommy, but those days of sleeping an eating non-stop are coming to a close. My first week home Mom and I camped out on the sofa. She took occasional breaks to make tea or get some snacks, but for the most part we never left. She managed to make it through 30 episodes of "Scandal" in one week. She admits that she is very lucky to be able to recover peacefully with just a baby home. My big brother loves school and has more to do there than he ever would stuck at home with me and Mom.
(Now Mom is typing with one hand while nurse. She caught me trying to nurse the inside of my bassinet. Apparently that is where I am supposed to sleep... not eat. I'm still trying to figure out all of the logistics of this big world)
Anyway, our peaceful week at home ended when the weekend arrived. Mom says she was "ready for reentry" back into the real world anyway. On Saturday the four of us piled into the car to travel to Mema and Poppop's house to meet a whole slew of family, including my two cousins, and Aunt Rachel and Uncle Ted, and all 4 of my Great Grand Parents! I got passed around for a while, the bigger people atr lunch, and then in the afternoon Mom and I took a nap (along with Talia and Grandma, too).
Can you believe it is supposed to SNOW again tomorrow? I was inside for most of the winter, but it hear it was a cold one. When I was born there was still a lot of snow on the ground. Mom thought she was going to get a spring baby this time, but so far, it's been very winter-like.
From Preston:
I had SO much fun playing with my cousin Liora on Saturday at Mema's house. Mom and Dad were sleepy with Luke, so it was nice to have Grandpa and cousin Sarah around to keep us toddlers occupied. We took a walk to the playground... in a wheelbarrow! I was really worn out by the end of the day and slept the whole way home in the car. When I woke up and we were at home, I only wanted to know why Liora hadn't come with us. I still wanted to play!
Tonight Mommy was on her own to put me to bed, so Luke ended up joining us for stories in my room. I loved having him there for story-time. I even brought my own baby to bed, too, so Luke wouldn't feel lonely. Mommy was kind of impressed with how well she did with two little boys at bedtime! If only every night could go that smoothly.
