That’s How We Roll

Jul

Written by Chelle on Friday

My Mommy is in Shock … It’s How I Roll In an attempt to be creative in achieving much desired shower time, I have been placing Ethan naked on top of a diaper and blankets on his tummy with some toys to look at. The little stinker rolled over yesterday! From tummy to his back! The babe is not even four months old! So I thought maybe a fluke. This morning little Ethan, rolled onto his back twice while sun bathing in the window. Again this afternoon. Gone are the carefree days of leaving the baby unattended (JOKING).

Our playdate went awesome. Becca enjoyed having company and so did I! Thursday we went to Music and Movement and storytime at the library. It is so cute. Every week the librarians pick a theme to read about. This week it was vegetables. So Becca has been BEGGING me to go buy veggies. Ahh the power of a good book.

Today we joined a group of moms that meet once a week to play and chat. Super great group of women (and one stay at home Dad, don’t want to leave him out). It was so sad, they were saying good bye to a family that was returning to Sweden. I was in tears, not because I am an emotion sap (which I am) but because I was just that person that left. It was so hard to leave. It is the best thing for my family (especially considering our funding was about to run out) but leaving those friends behind was heartbreaking.

Sharing Good Stories I also joined some ladies Thursday night for some knitting. It was nice to click the needles together with others. Even though I am on a mountain in the middle of nowhere, it is slowly starting to feel a little more comfortable, although it will never be home. Speaking of home, I am not sure if I mentioned that J was not offered the job in Toronto. We of course we very disappointed, however we will end up where we are suppose to be. J will be interviewing in Canada again soon

I’m so glad you’ve found things to do there so quickly. You’re amazing!

Rylan started rolling f to b at 6.5 weeks and I actually thought there was something wrong with him when he kept doing it. I think it was because he had so little fat to keep him anchored! At least you can relax until he rolls consecutively and starts to travel. You just might have to put a few diapers around him in case of a pee geyser.

Sorry about the job, but yeah, another interview! I thought you were going to slow down on that mountain. Snort. You rock.

Leaving is SO hard, isn’t it? But look how quickly you find a new community, new friends! Where you’re living now sounds so idyllic.

I need to know how you do it?
How long are you in your new surroundings? …and you have found friends with similar knitting interests and playdates for your baby girl!!!

I am so in awe of you.

I’m living in my ‘new’ neighborhood over a year and I have yet to take her to the beach alone all day and maybe the library 3 times MAX!!!! I haven’t met one person I can click with and I just don’t believe how wonderfully friendly you are!!!

You know why he rolled don’t you? Those cheeks. So lusciously chubby they alter his center of gravity, pulling him right on over

Cool mommy group. Ethan is adorable. It’s hard to believe how quickly they grow up.
