On our own again . . .

After 10 glorious days of having my mom around to take care of us, Will and I are on our own again today. But let me digress and talk about what a great time we had with Grandma. She was appropriately impressed, and might I guess, in love at first sight with our little guy when we picked her up at the airport, despite the fact that he was crying inconsolably because of having to ride in the car seat. We are working on that . . . Anyway, my mom and I made it through my list of "stuff to do with mom/grandma" that included things like take lots of pictures, do a little shopping, eat out a couple of times, hang out and snuggle with baby, catch up on all kinds of chatting, run important errands etc. etc.


My mom was awesome - she emptied the dishwasher - one of my least favorite jobs - and did laundry, stayed in the hot car so I could quickly run in for a couple of errands sans baby and car seat, walked the floor with a crying baby, and the list goes on. She and my dad even cleaned the bathroom, washed their sheets and towels and did all the vacuuming for me before they left. Which brings me to my dad:) He got to come down for a couple of days at the end of my mom's visit to meet Will. I would like to give the credit to him for teaching Will to just hang out and chill on the floor.



And lest we leave out important milestones, Will had his first bath - and he likes the real thing much better than the sponge bath thing, however leaving the tub brings on his super cute pouty lip, in spite of the warm fuzzy towels we have to wrap him in.


In honor of a great flick, I will leave you today with what we like to call the "One Eyed Will" pose... More to come later on how we are surviving on our own.
