Milestones

So baby boy finished his 1st week of daycare.

Whew!

What a relief.

I thought that between the two of us there'd be a whole lot of tears, sniffles & whining. Turns out I was the only doing any of that.

Actually I did pretty well. I only called about twice a day to check on him but I did show up early to pick him up. He, on the other hand, was amazing. As a matter of fact, by the 3rd day he was giggling every time I put him in the car seat. It was like he knew he was off to do his thing while I did mine. "Yeah, Mommy. You do you and we'll hook up later."

Crazy.

I started him at daycare this week since I'll be going back to work on the first and I thought it would be overwhelming to do it all at once. Practice makes perfect as they say, and I wanted to make sure the transition back into my old routine goes smoothly.

The other huge thing this week is that he's got a few new tricks. I don't know if he's picking it up from other kids or if it's just time for him to meet these milestones but here they are in no particular order:

He's chewing his tongue.
He's blowing crazy bubbles all the time.
He's folding his hands.
He's grabbing at things.
He's talking up a storm
and
He's lifting himself up off the floor during tummy time.

He's 9 and a 1/2 weeks old... Amazing!

Have I said lately how proud I am to be this kid's mom? Seriously, I love him something awful.

I'd love to hear from you. Please share your baby's milestones in the comments section.
