Sorry about not blogging more. Having a 4-month old, working part-time, and entertaining family and friends does not leave much time for blogging. It is scary how time is flying. I’ve been back to work for 6 weeks now! Working part-time has proven to be more difficult than I expected. Our center is busier than ever and I’ve been teaching a lot, which does not leave much time to get my Director work done…especially since I’m only working about 17 hours a week. I’m hanging in there and am hopeful things will be a little less chaotic-feeling soon.

William is growing up so fast. He has recently discovered that he has vocal chords that can make some really fun and loud noises. I’m going to try to get Jason to put a short video up that showcases his new talent. Last week he started eating rice cereal and absolutely loves it. He gets mad if I’m not fast enough with the spoon and is quite a messy eater. I’m not sure if it is the cereal or William just getting older, but the past couple nights have been fantastic…he slept 9 hours on Monday night and almost 8 hours last night. I am praying that he keeps this up! It was amazing getting about 6 1/2 hours of sleep Monday. Too bad Jason and I both woke up at 4:30 because we heard some strange noises over the monitor and went in to check on him, only to wake him. Oh well, it was still the best night’s sleep William has ever had!  I am excited that he is finally interested in toys. He can hold onto them and is really good at bringing everything and anything to his mouth. Yesterday he was playing with “Mr. Waddles” the stuffed duck and decided to chew on his beak! Wish I would have had the camera ready for that! Unfortunately, just about every time we get the camera out, he stops whatever cute thing he was doing to stare at the camera. William is also very excited about his future girlfriend. Congratulations Brian and Libby! We are so excited for you to join the “Baby Club”!

On April 27th, Jason and I celebrated 6 years of marriage. (Talk about time flying!!) My sister was in town and graciously offered to watch William overnight so that we could get away to celebrate. As much as we love our little guy, it was so nice to go out and just be a couple and reconnect. Unfortunately, William decided that that was the day he would get his first rash! We ended up rushing him to the doctor’s the next  morning after we got a call from my sister that his rash spread and covered him from head to toe! Poor thing…it was really quite a sight and turned out to be nothing! I guess he was just mad at us for leaving him for a night

Well it has been an eventful few weeks with our family. I promise to try to update everyone more often…but please forgive me if I get busy!
