It's almost the end of February already. My resolution to be more diligent about family record keeping is improving. I've started to work out regularly again, and am determined to look cute in some Spring/Summer clothes. The winter doldrums have had me, like Toby in The Phantom Tolbooth. There is no time for down time with a toddler. More so than his needing my attention, I need to be the one paying attention. Reminders like this help...putting my end of day thoughts of gratitude and reflection into this blog. I've actually been preparing to make a Winter 2012/2103 photo album book. (side bar: when Winter starts in one year and ends in another, what year do you label that Winter? Hm.)
Thanksgiving was what, 3 months ago? In baby terms, another whole trimester has passed. You can see it, sense it, and hear it, too. Grey is very quick and seems to pick more up every day.
Greyson update: pretty sure he said a blurred version of "h i j k" when I was singing the alphabet to him today. He now spins around occasionally, mostly out of boredom it seems. Grey doesn't have much interest in longer stories but will actually let us get through an entire Sandra Boynton book. Grey is still chasing the cat, but I did note today that he just put his head on her for loving once he caught her (this time!) ha. Grey was cuddly for me today, not much interest earlier in the day to eat or play with his toys. Some pain reliever and some milk & snacks later and he was better. Grey still fighting his tiredness at sleep times. Once he settles down, still insists on holding my hands (or Murray's hands if Murray puts Grey to bed). I learned my lesson one afternoon when I let go of his hand too soon, before he was fully asleep and he yelled and took both hands, grabbed my hand and shook it, yelling at me as if to say, "why did you let go?! I was almost asleep!"...I've since been more careful.
