It may look like he isn't having fun but I promise you he is :)
This is right after a feeding and a diaper change.
The majority of poor Max's life seems to be in his swaddling blanket. Luckily our friend Sarah gave him this SUPER cute one :) Max loves his little bed and does semi okay with laying down for naps. Some days not so much, but we are learning together how to do this whole nap thing.
His stroller is a bassinet which is perfect for Mommy walks, but he also still sleeps in it most naps and each night.
The other "norm" which hasn't been so normal this week is a walk. The weather has been YUCKY :( We have a rain thing to go over the stroller but it is no fun for me when it's wet. I miss the walks and feel like I am going stir crazy not visiting my "friends" at all the shops by me. :) This week has had tons of rain and even been chilly a few days. I look at my kiwi friends and say, "Really? This is summer." One quick funny story. You all know how much I LOATHED winter here. Well this week I had to laugh when the main headline at Sam's paper was "Heat wave hits the Bay of Plenty." (Bay of Plenty is the name of the region we are in) It was 80 degrees people! I laughed so hard and laughed even harder when I talked to Sam's mom and she said she was SO hot and dying that day. And they said I complained about the cold and it wasn't even cold. PAH! Granted it was 97% humidity but c'mon it was sunny and warm! :)
I have to say I miss our little walks. I spent time browsing shops, being around people and even praying for some dear friends walking through some very hard things. I think it also helped my sanity a lot. I don't even need to talk to people, just being around them helps me get energy. Being home this last week and inside was not as fun. Funnily enough my friend Lisa just asked if people were homebodies or social butterflies. I actually LOVE being home but need a few outings in the day to not feel crazy, but LOVE LOVE LOVE being home at night with my little family. I wonder, though, if the older Max gets I will be fine being home all day. I just need interaction and I am perfectly content. I LOVE and ADORE Max but I am really looking forward to the next stages of more interaction. I think I haven't noticed how much of my time is feeding and sleeping Max because a lot of his sleeps were walks to the shops or the beach or around the Mount. I am not one of those moms that will be sad to see the first 6 weeks go by so fast. I am SO looking forward to watching Max grow and change. His smiles make me smile and I cannot wait until I hear his first laugh!!
