Back to Work

This week I went back to work. I only work Thursdays and Fridays, so it’s not quite the commitment as full time. Also, JT gets to stay home, snuggled in bed, when I leave for work. He wakes up to a full day of fun with either Dad or Grandma, so it’s a pretty sweet deal. I love my job, and it was fun to drive home at the end of the day and get excited to see JT.

I think he may have attempted to laugh for the first time this week. It sure sounded like a laugh, and he was smiling, but he only did it once. He has spent a lot of time recently smiling at everything and playing with his hands. He is becoming an expert at hitting the toys that dangle in front of him on his play mat, too.

Last night I went to the Just Between Friends sale with my friend Jen. It was a zoo! We both got some great deals (clothes, toys, books), but had to wait in line for an hour and a half to pay for it all. Poor JT got pretty hungry and cranky stuck in the Bjorn, so I went and fed him while Jen held our spot in line.

On Tuesday night, JT got some quality time with his Grandpa Keene. My mother-in-law took me back-to-school shopping, and Grandpa got to babysit all by himself. He and JT took some time out to call Great-Grandma Keene and say hello (notice the wedding picture in the background – seven years ago!).
