Back At Home

I am home from two weeks away from the house, Lisa, and TJ.

For some reason the house always seems bigger than it really is when I return from a trip.

Lisa did an amazing job getting/keeping the house in order. She hung pictures, worked on the baby's room, and cleaned the fridge! Not bad when you are carrying an eight and a half pound wiggle worm all day. Samantha is off to camp in North Carolina.

However, Lisa did leave me some work; the lawn, which went for two whole weeks unmowed. That was a treat! (Then there is the whole issue of the garage door, but Lisa can explain that.)

TJ got bigger. Most noticeably around his head. Don't get the impression that he is a bobble head doll. It's just that his head got larger. He is longer too. He used to fit in the front carrier so that you only saw the top of his head. Now he is able to see out better.

He is still fussy at mid day, but a good walk last night kept him content.

The biggest change is in his new ability to smile! Two weeks ago I was working hard for an up turned cheek. Now he is able to smile a big, ear to ear, happy face grin! Getting him to smile like this is still w-o-r-k.

Last night TJ was up twice. Lisa woke me to swaddle him after he eat. For two weeks I slept uninterrupted - like a rock. Ahh, it's good to be home!
