Preoccupied

I find myself not blogging as much lately.  I think that is due to the fact that I'm addicted to Facebook.  It's so much faster to put a status update and be done.  Except that I waste so much time on there, that I'm sure a simple blog entry would take far less time. 

Life around here is just amazing.  Henry is, of course, the center of our universe.  He is a little over 8 months and is a joy to be around.  He is either very happy or very angry, there is usually no in between.  Luckily, he is only angry when he is hungry or tired and those two things have gotten easier as well.  We were so anxious about when and how we would stop swaddling him and then one day, he just kinda fell asleep by himself.  So the next nap, we said lets see what happens and it went great from there.  We are still going strong nursing and I don't see that stopping anytime soon.  He will not eat most baby food.  I think that's because he's tasted table foods and he just wants to eat what we eat.  Also, he loves feeding himself, so we just cut up really small pieces of what we eat. 

Travis is doing well - now is the slow time at work so most days, I have no idea what he does there :)  They won't start programming for a while so I think he is correcting his old code?  Other than work, he spends his time with me, at the gym, mowing, or at worship team practice.  He is THE best daddy I could ask for Henry.

My days are spent with Henry.  I love staying at home with him.  I can't imagine taking him to daycare and going to work.  His smiles and babbles are for me, no one else.  We have a schedule down - he takes two naps a day and in between we leave the house to walk and run errands.  He is definitely a "Momma's boy".  When he looks at me, it's like I'm the greatest thing he's ever seen.  Who wouldn't love that?!? :)

The summer should be fun.  Katy and Adam have access to a house at the lake, a speed boat and Sea-doos.  Last summer I was pregnant so I couldn't water ski, so I'm definitely trying that this time around.  We also have a beach trip to Destin, FL planned with my family.  I'm a little nervous to see how Henry will do on the 7 hour trip down and how he will sleep in his pack'n'play.  Also, Katy has the whole summer off so we should get to spend some quality time with her.  She may just win the coveted "Henry's Favorite Aunt Award".  Oh and Travis and I will be celebrating 4 years as a married couple on June 4th!!!  He never thought we'd make it this long :)
