Flighty

My mind is all over the place these days and I keep thinking of things to blog about, but by the time I sit down to do it, I'm either falling asleep at the computer or I can't remember what I was going to say.

This baby has decided to come at a very busy time in our lives, but I think it will be a nice reminder to slow down and enjoy the individual days. I think the major thing I learned after having Austin was that we don't have to get everything done RIGHT NOW. In the week that Chris had off after Austin was born, I'm not sure that we just stayed home for any of them. We were taking Austin around to many different places, having to do heel pricks for his jaundice, taking the dogs to the park and the vet...we were just going! Having that experience, and introducing a new baby to a toddler has Chris and I putting on the brakes and wanting things to move more slowly. As anxious as everybody is to meet this new little peanut, I'm thinking mostly of Austin and the introduction between him and his new sibling. I'm not sure if anybody will be more affected than him, and I'd like to give him and the new baby all of my attention, and by the looks of it lately, that isn't much!

Besides this little baby coming, between last weekend and August 4th we have:

2 weddings

1 father's day (but three dad's to celebrate with)

Jenn's bday (but she will be out of town this year)

Jenni's bday (26!)

Childish Thing's big store move

Mom's bday (50!)

Chris' bday (30!)

Chris' bday party

Grandma coming (first time in 9 years!)

Parents anniversary (30!)

Not to mention my other friend's who are having kids and I'm TRYING to make meals for them all, which need I say it again, is not my area of expertise!

Luckily all of these things are fun and many people are participating in them and most of them are half planned already.

Austin and I have been trying to spend as many days as we can in the water. Yesterday was our first trip to the Boulder Rez and we loved it! Austin ran right in and was a little water bug. He loves to go in until the water is touching his chin and then peck his face into the water. This makes for really fun mornings and nice long afternoon naps.

I don't really have a way to wrap this whole thing up, as the title says, I'm flighty right now. My mind just circles and comes in and out as the day passes until around 7:30 when I am headed to bed to just "rest a while." Sometimes I make it back up, other times not. So, here are some cute pictures of the little man and his last days as an only child.
