Morning Bonding

So we started going back to work this week, Heather in the mornings and me in the afternoons. Its kind of weird being the sole caretaker for him for four hours a day. Sure, we sleep for the first hour, but at 9, we get up and I find some milk for him while making my coffee and breakfast, then we sit down and eat together. We’ve had a mix of success so far in the first three days, but that’s to be expected. Today, he ate well, and is now just watching me type away. Okay, to be honest, I’m not quite sure what he’s looking at. He always seems focused on something these days, but when we look to see what he’s looking at, we can never find anything interesting.

We’ve started watching the Price is right again. I used to watch it as a kid, but Drew is so funny and cynical on it, its totally worth watching again. He totally thinks the lame small products that are just there for pricing are ridiculously funny and useless. Sometimes he can do nothing but just laugh at how pathetic a $20 key-chain digital camera is.

Ansel’s such a cutie that no matter how fussy, un-sleepy, or irritable he is, when he just looks at you confusedly in that newborn way, you can’t help but forgive him. I’m convinced that cuteness is a baby defense mechanism. He’s getting better and better at holding his head up, and is not nearly as wobbly as he used to. We are now currently awaiting his first smiles. Its an exciting and confusing time.

Anyway, I just wanted to post a little update to let everyone know how we’re moving along. Also, remember, I twitter more than I post here, so if you miss my updates, you should follow me on twitter.
