Jun 16
Goodness, this day was busy at work, and my brain was pretty broke. I was kind of distracted with work nearly the whole day and forgot we were going to visit our friends Jill and Steve, and their brand new baby boy, Oz. So that was a cool thing to remember when I got off work.
Eli cooked them a lovely dinner, or was in the process of doing so when I got home, and Martyn was fussing. I took him and decided he would like a little bath in the little tub before we left....I was right!
That boy is so cute! Now that he can sit upright for the most part, with out toppling, and can even right himself when he starts to tip over, a shallow bath is super fun for him. He really enjoys splashing with his hands. If he fit a little better, he would also have been trying to kick his feet, which was really funny. That seemed to do the trick in calming him down, and making him happy before we left.
I hate traffic. We happened to pick the most traffic-filled time of the day to drive to the other side of the world as far as we're concerned, which was rather annoying....it all worked out though. We made it in one piece, and enjoyed our nice dinner with our friends. I admired little Oz at the dinner table, and then after dinner took him off Jill's hands for a bit. He smells SO good! I think Martyn still has a very appealing baby smell, but it's not a new born smell. Oz's little downy hair was so soft and his skin so smooth, and he's like half the size of Martyn. He's just awesome. I'm so excited for my new friends, as new parents, and they just have a beautiful baby boy.
It was kind of a strange feeling for me, holding this new born (2 weeks old) baby, and looking at my nearly 5 month old baby. Kind of surreal. I do want another baby, but still not yet. I still have a pretty little baby to take care of!
I'm looking forward to Martyn, and Oz getting to be buddies and grow up together. They are only 4.5 months apart, so technically they would be in the same grade in elementary school. They are also sort of connected by birth, as Jill used the same birth center as I did, and Oz was born in the same tub as Martyn....Jill's midwives were even the same as me, except in reverse. For some reason, that makes me really excited.
Martyn really likes dogs. A lot. Jill and Steve have a BIG dog, and all she had to do was just walk over to me, and wag her tail, to send Martyn into a huge giggle fest. It was cracking me up. He had this really crazy, funny look on his face and he was just belly laughing. He just really really likes dogs. What a cutie!
