A Girl Named PJ

another milestone

April 27, 2012

Why sleep when you can sit up in your crib instead?

This week Levi mastered a new skill: Pushing himself from his tummy into a seated position. I think he was motivated to get himself onto his bum after seeing a friend do it at a play date last week. Now, this friend can also pull himself to standing, but if we’re being honest… I’m okay with Levi not doing that yet. I fear he’ll no longer feel like my little baby once he’s vertical, and I’m not ready to give that up yet.

Of course, I know the choice is not mine, and I obviously don’t want to hold back his development. But maybe we don’t have to rush that milestone. I have no worries that Levi will eventually be up on two feet and then will be walking, so why not stay on on all fours for just a little bit longer?

Can anybody tell that I’m starting to get anxious at the thought of my baby guy turning one in just a few short months? I’ve really been trying to not think about it, although I do have to start planning his first birthday party. My parents and in-laws have been nagging –erm, asking — me about it since February! Perhaps I’ll begin brainstorming this weekend…

 

I also write for Lifetime Moms:

And a big thanks to Courtney for including me in a round-up of posts about working moms.

    It’s so exciting to see him move onto his next milestone. You better get your sneakers ready, because when he stands, he’ll probably just start running.

    P.S. The family only wants you to “pick” the weekend (not plan the details) so we can get the best air fares.

Day 12 | No photos from today (well none worth sharing) because I sat in front of my laptop from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. working on deadline. My busy work day also meant that my kids didnt get very much of my attention. My husband kept them occupied for some of the day but I dont think they got any schoolwork done. Oh well we all deserve a lazy day every once in a while. I know I do! | So whats this photo? Just some of the amazing birthday presents I received from my friends this weekend!

Asa had a full-on temper tantrum because he didnt want to color his drawing of a rainbow and nearly lost his cool while practicing Typing Club. I wish I could do more educational activities with them like taking alphabet walks and tallying up different items around the house but Im totally overwhelmed with a huge deadline this week. In fact I had to keep working after the kids went to bed and now its nearlyC-Quarantine Day 8 | Ive felt anxious many days this past week but today was the first day I had the blues. Not sad about anything specific. Just ... sad. Cabin fever? Exhaustion? We decided to get out of the house to look at the cherry blossoms in Bethesda. The Kenwood neighborhood was quiet so we parked and walked down a side street keeping our distance from the few other people out and about. But with cars parked on one side of the road and moving cars to trying to pass them & the pedestriansOn the first day of #socialdistancing my true love made for me Nutella-filled croissantsyummy!
