There is a really good reason for my lack of posts though: I have been just plain super busy. Really. I wake up at four in the morning to get ready for work and take Gabriel to daycare.
Oh yeah. I work. A lot. And Gabriel is now in daycare. It totally broke my heart the first time I dropped him off. He didn't care AT ALL though. Seriously. He didn't even know Diane and he went to her without a fuss. She reached out for him and he looked at her and then at me and back and forth a couple of times and then he just leaned over and went to her. No crying. No sad face. Nothing. Most people would see that as a blessing but honestly, it just made me even more sad. I not so secretly wanted him to bawl his eyes out and cling to me and not want me to leave him. But he didn't, so I was sad.
Anyway, I work aaallllll day until the very last minute when I absolutely HAVE to leave in order to get to Diane's on time to pick up Gabe. (She's a licensed home care provider and only watches kids from 6am to 6pm) I am trying to rack up the over time so I will have plenty of money saved up for the move back to Utah. So I grab Gagriel, head home, feed him dinner, play with him for a little while, give him a bath, read him a book, and put him to bed. Not too long after I put him down, it's bed time for me too. I barely have time to shower and eat and do laundry and whatnot, so the blog has kind of fallen by the wayside. I keep telling myself that I'll update it on the weekend when I have some time...but my weekends are pretty full too. That is my time with Gabriel and my sister and my niece and my mom (if she's feeling up to it--she hasn't been feeling well lately). We run around the island visiting beaches and parks and local markets. It makes for a pretty full but tiring life!!
Gabe is lucky. We get home and he's already sleeping in his car seat so he gets taken inside and laid in a crib and he's out for like ten hours--sometimes twelve. Seriously. The kid's a sleeper (got it from his mamma!! hahaha) See the proof?
I can sometimes undress him, change his diaper and put him in pajamas and he doesn't wake up during any of it...
...and he will sleep any time, anywhere, in any position--sometimes he jams himself all up in the corners and edges--I have no idea why....
...and sometimes, as you can see, I just take his pants or his shorts off and call it good...
I love this and am totally amused to the point of slapping my hand over my mouth so I won't laugh and wake him up every time I see it. I don't know how this could ever be a comfortable sleeping position, but it seems to be a favorite of his...top five at least...I think...
I don't know why I think this is so darn cute! Something about that little diaper bum sticking up just makes me smile and giggle to myself. hehehehe
More posts to come--soon. I promise. I have so much catching up to do!! I have pictures from June (I think) that I still haven't posted yet! Better get to it!!
