A couple of weekends ago we went to Arizona for a Family Reunion. It was the first time Jude went for a swim. The water was pretty cold so he didn't last long...but he does love the water! He loves bath time, especially if I get in with him...he thinks it is so funny!! He is doing much better at night...I hope it lasts!!
Cole just came home from his first tour(since the baby) and it was so HARD! It's times like these I don't know how you single moms do it! Kudos to you!! Cole was down in Texas the same time we went to Arizona ..so it was a little better, as far as time goes. Cole is getting ready to go on another tour...I will have to think of new fun things to do with Jude to keep us busy and so the time will go by faster!! Hopefully it will get warmer! One can only hope!
As for me...I am still trying to figure out how to be a mommy and a wife. It is a tricky balance...let's not forget trying to find me time as well! Luckily I have a wonderful husband that makes me leave the house so I can be sain! I think that it will take a while to be me again! I will say this...one of the hardest things is everyone thinks they know my baby better then i do...I am sure every mother could agree with me on how hard it is with ALL of the advise (and thousands of contradicting ones) can get overwhelming! I finally decided to do what I think and not care what everyone else has to say! Can you tell I am bugged? It is nice to hear their stories..but PLEASE don't tell me what I am doing wrong..it just makes me feel like a bad mother. Am I the only one that gets this way? Maybe. O well I am glad that I have my little munchkin! He is what makes my world go round. I really don't know how I ever lived without him!??
