So we went and stayed with a friend this weekend. It only took 2 hours to pack everything and load it. And all I took for me, mind you, was an extra shirt, pair of shorts and underwear. So the rest of the vehicle was filled with swing, bouncy chair, portable crib, toys, stuffed animals, 14 changes of clothes, 5 dozen diapers, and a case of formula. For one night. Yes, one. And we did have a washer and dryer. Returning home took yet another hour of unpacking.
I have a new business concept in traveling with baby. You have a complete tractor trailer (minus the cab) completely packed with everything needed for baby. It is parked in the rental lot for use at a day's notice. When you want to go somewhere, you simply call, hook up and go. Now, we would need one for every age group and rental fees should be reasonable. Potential investors can contact Jennifer at riskant@yahoo.com.
We are coming up on 2 months of age. We are going to go for professional pictures tomorrow if he can refrain from using his blades (fingernails) on his cheeks again tonight. In the meantime, I took a few that I think are finally starting to capture his personality - and even better, his eyes are actually open for once.
Rocky or star QB?
I am so afraid to stop taking pics as I already feel like I can barely remember how small and fragile he was. What before was "try not break him" is now "can you please lift his head so I can remove the stored formula from the folds of his chin?" How times change. Someone at work told me that time will fly - with long days and short years. My response to her? Sniff.

As far as work goes, I am surviving the transition back from maternity leave. This morning was a bit hard though. He didn't even want to wake up to say good-bye although I admit I did try to make him. Even picking him up and hugging and kissing him was not enough to rouse him. I really should be grateful he can sleep though anything (a well loved trait that I too possess). Once here in the office though, I enjoy my friends and coworkers. The work is exciting as well and keeps me very busy but I do look forward to pulling in the driveway each evening. The days do seem to fly by when you look back at them.
