So Far, So Good!!

So Mommy's first week at home came to a close after a looooong Friday! I believe Lori's words to me on the phone Friday Afternoon said it all... "I think I am going back to work!"

By 8 AM Friday Morning Lori was on a roll cleaning the house. She had both bathrooms clean before Ty even woke up. When he did awake, Lori's day began to drag along. It took her the next 7 hours to vacuum and dust the house. This chore normally takes her no longer then 2 hours total but on this day, she had a baby who was experiencing separation anxiety and would simply lose his cool when she left the room! Lori ended up finishing the dusting by singing ABC's to Ty as she went from room to room!

Besides Friday, the rest of Lori's first week at home was excellent. She took Ty, early in the week, on his first trip to Target shopping for baby food and some miscellaneous items. On Thursday, she met her grandmother, aunt and two cousins at Applebee's for lunch. Both occasions Ty was an excellent little boy. Maybe he was making up for it on Friday?!?

The week was full of adjustments for both Mom and Ty. Ty had trouble napping during the day, nothing new, but it caused some intense moments before bed time. Let's just say, when Ty wants a bottle and bed, he wants it all to occur within seconds. Not minutes, seconds! But throughout the week Mom and Ty became better adjusted to their new life!

Ty is also now enjoying his vegetables. He seems to love squash! And as far as his fruits, no problems with applesauce or peaches. He loves them too. So far so good!

Lori, being the excellent wife that she is, had some pretty good meals cooked for me when I got home too. Chicken in the crock pot, meat loaf and some stir fry. Pretty tasty meals, hope she keeps that up! :-)

On Saturday, Nan (Smith) came over to baby sit Ty for the evening while Lori and I met some of my old co-workers at Buffalo Wild Wings in Hagerstown. It was nice for Nan to come over and get some one on one time with Ty and for us to get out by ourselves on such a nice warm evening. When we returned home and asked Nan if Ty was good, her words, "He was an Angel." :-) We must be doing something right!

Lori and Ty also got to enjoy the beautiful weather by taking some nice long walks around the neighborhood on Saturday and Sunday. In fact, on Sunday while they were gone, I completed a couple chores of my own and got myself cleaned up. After nearly 75 minutes of them being gone, I was a little concerned and about ready to send out a search party. :-) As I walk out into the drive way, here come Lori and Ty. It seems as though they got hung up with some neighbors down the street and Ty really enjoyed the attention. Guess he is not getting enough at home! Yeah Right!! :-)

Until next time...
