On Friday, he began learning the art of the 2nd generation Gooney Face
The Sprout is trying so hard to crawl. He can get himself on all fours from a sitting position but he tends to leave his left leg in a half lotus position. Then he reaches out real far and inevitably does a face plant. He also turns himself 180 degrees from a sitting position, again with the left leg in lotus, but tends to fall forward on his tummy. Then he gets frustrated and throw a fit.
He has almost mastered the butt scoot and can move pretty fast. We have started to move items to higher ground (and as I said that he got into the cat food).
The Sprout has a toy (activity centre) that speaks Dutch. I have no idea what it is saying. He got it from his Great Nan. I am sure she didn't know it was Dutch.
On Thursday I started putting him down for a nap around 11 am. It has worked so far. I can get 1-2 hours out of it because I put him upstairs.
"I am bored of you taking pictures of me".
"No really, stop it".
The contracts for the house have been signed, we just have to agree on a completion date. We are hoping for August 8th.
I signed up for driving lessons. They start on the 3rd, the first day the Sprout starts nursery.
I am having the February doldrums in July, which isn't very common. It probably has to do with the 2 weeks of Summer we had and now it is Fall. It also probably has to do with the fact that we never do anything.
- I am tired of this house, we are way too big for it.
- I am tired of not being able to take jobs I want.
- I am tired of it being grey outside.
- I am tired of doing daily blogs that no one comments on, because let's face it, they are boring.
- I am tired of never being able to go on vacation because we have no money.
- I am tired of watching my husband do nothing but be on the computer on the weekends.
- I am tired of taking care of a baby.
- I am tired of my back hurting.
- I am tired of being tired.
This is starting to sound like "all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy".
I have been in this rut before, and I am sure it will get better when we move. It will be something to do.
I look at plane tickets to the States, but Summer time is sooooo expensive (I don't know why I don't look for tickets to Europe...looking for fimiliarity I guess). It's not too expensive after Labour Day, I could go to D's party...but I might be back at work...but then again, hopefully my mom will be better from her surgery and will be able to visit us.

I love the photos! What a cutie he is - and such an expressive face! I also get to the point occasionally where I'm just tired of everything. Usually, most of all I'm literally tired - and I don't even have a baby! Hang in there. I hope the move will help. Maybe you could figure out some way to treat yourself to something fun or out of the ordinary (not necessarily a thing or something that costs a lot, of course) - you deserve it! :)
I realized that grandmommy died 4 years ago July 14th and once I realized that, I felt better...not so "ho hum".
I wish I was into manicures or spa things, that seems to be an easy solution for most women. I would rather go hiking. If it is not pouring this Saturday, I will make Richard come with me to walk along the canal that runs through town.
It's amazing how much you can be effected by those thoughts of the subconscious and once you bring them to the light of day, it's better. Four years - it seems like yesterday and forever ago at the same time. I was thinking of her a lot over the weekend. We were at my in-laws in Friday Harbor and my MIL was saying how important it is to her that her family come visit their home. I realized how much the places my grandparents lived were so much a part of them and my relationship with them. They also have tons of birds at their house - she would have loved it! Your kids will be lucky like we were in that they will have such great places to be with their grandparents!
Hiking sounds great! Hope it's sunny for you! Take care, Jess!
