So now that our sweet little baby is 2 months old, Tweedy and I finally seem to be settling in to our new schedule and the demands of our little one. I spend most of my days singing Twinkle Twinkle on repeat, rocking, diaper changing, cleaning up spit up, bathing and of course feeding our little one. This leaves me very little time for most of the hobby things I love to do and little time to spend with our first child, Jayber...who also requires feeding, bathing, watering, walking and of course love and attention. Lately poor J doesn't get taken outside until around 11am, hardly ever goes on walks (which i'll explain later) and gets his dinner late after baby goes to sleep. In spite of all this, he's doing great with the changes and periodically creeps into the nursery to peep into the bassinet while she's sleeping and always licks her toes anytime he walks by. During those late night feedings, while Tweedy is snoozing away and doesn't even notice she's woken up, Jayber always sleepily gets up, walks into the nursery with me and lays in front of the rocker while I feed her. But about the walking....I did try to take both of them a couple of times. But it's a little difficult to control a stroller not on a sidewalk and an 80 lb golden retriever on a leash who's mission in life is to chase all squirrels back into their trees. And after the near tip over the stroller and baby fall out incident...Jayber stays home during our strolls, unless a friend comes along.
I tell you all of this along with three pieces of evidence of his boredom (and Tweedy's frustration after fixing this three times)

But perk up Jayber....this will only get easier for you and all of us as our little one gets older. Soon she'll be tossing you food over the side of her high chair and following you all over the house. And of course it could be worse....you could be our cat, Mia, who hasn't stepped foot in the house in 8 weeks.
