Moving on...

So my parents have left to go back home. They had been here in the Southwest with us since just after Christmas playing golf and waiting on Bug's birth. It was so nice having them here to spoil us, help us with our home (thanks Mom) and spend the quality time with Bug. He won't remember any of it but we have special pictures to show him how much Grandma and Grandpa loved him right from when he was born!  It was also such an easy transition to being Momma myself with my own mother right here. I stayed calm and had help so I could rest and enjoy the baby. I also ate a lot more of the 'home' food that I'm used to having them around, rather than planning meals for my over-the-top flavor lover of a husband. (*I like that food too though)  I can't even think about them being gone really or when I might get to go 'home' next because it makes me cry. I just know I'm very thankful for the technology of webcams and Skype so that Bug will know his grandparents just like if they lived here.

We've had a couple more rougher days with the baby and it seems he's learned to cry. Our easy baby never cried unless I was pulling him out of the bath but now I hear it a few more times a day when he's hungry, has a full diaper or is just generally having a grumpy moment.  Overall he's still such a wonderfully easy baby and we are very blessed. I am hoping after he gets over a little bit of tummy troubles (or I figure out what it was that I ate he didn't tolerate) that we go back to the calmer version of Baby K.

Being a mommy is so wonderful. He's growing so much everyday, and I like the fact that it did come naturally to know what he wants and needs and that he wants and loves us. I am fully convinced he has real smiles (not just gas) and of course that he is the best and brightest baby around, lol!  My family so far seems supportive of my photography habit and ritual posting of new pictures on Facebook. It's amazing to see how much he's changed in just 23 days!

Now it's time to look for a bigger house, get a job for CK that he likes and can throw himself into and get all the paperwork sorted for our first trip to Canada with Bug! I am sick of being 'lazy' for the lack of a better word and want to start getting busy and organized again! Like the title says, it's time to move on to bigger and better things!
