Time has flown by these past few months since going back to work. I've had intermittently really rough schedules, it's been exhausting. I come home more tired than you could imagine, but I don't want to sleep because I want to be with Braden. And of course Daddy's exhausted being a House Dad, so it's rough all around. He's also training for the Vineman half-Ironman next month in Napa which is extra hard!
For the past couple weeks, Braden has been entering his separation anxiety stage. We leave the room, he cries. We come back, he's all big smiles. When it comes time to go to bed, it's torture for us because he just cries and cries, and sometimes it's damn near impossible to get him to sleep. It's heart-wrenching, he feels like we're abandoning him! Too bad there's no reasoning with a 5 month old....
I think he's also beginning to teethe. The chewing on things has gotten out of control!
Random flowers,
His toys,
Our bunny, Simon,
And, of course, Mommy.
Everything but the nice, cold teething ring. Drool is everywhere! I think I'm going to cry when he actually does pop his first tooth. Breastfeeding may be over forever....
Also, in exciting Braden news (really, is there anything else?), he's thisclose to crawling. We're up on our hands and knees, rocking back and forth. We can turn round and round, and sometimes we even move backward. Video camera is poised and ready!!
