Adjusting

Well, we survived our introduction to Daycare last week. William did well, I think. He isn't as independent as he is at home, but I think once he is comfortable with his caregivers he'll do fine. He has started taking better naps while he's there and is on a good feeding schedule. It is still difficult for me to handle the daycare situation, but I'm coming to terms with the fact that no place is perfect, and as Patrick said no one will take care of him like I do. Hopefully we have him somewhere that will at least come close.

Now that I'm back at work I'm realizing how valuable every second is. If William is awake, I want to squeeze in all the loving that I missed during the day.  I feel guilty watching tv or playing on the computer. 

And there is not enough time in the day! I'm trying to get everything ready the night before to make our mornings go as smoothly as possible. Everything is going okay so far, but William hasn't been too into his cereal in the mornings, so we're giving him extra at night. He is five months old today, and I think we'll celebrate by introducing a vegetable with his evening cereal over the weekend.

These pictures are from this weekend.  We went to Rayne for a wedding and to visit my parents.  In the picture above William is trying out a hobby horse (I think that's what it's called) that my parents have.  I've been looking at some other versions that he may ask Santa to bring.

Here William helped me fold his clothes by grabbing the stack of bibs and shoving them in his face.  His new favorite thing is to rub anything soft hard against his face, like he wants to eat it.  Maybe that's the teething?

He is also still super into his feet, which is cute except for when he is pulling his feet into his mouth as I'm trying to feed him cereal!
