Day 185...Sundays are just the best!

Jul 24

I know I've said it before, but I'll say it again; I love my Sundays with Martyn! It's just so wonderful!

This morning, when Eli came back in to kiss me good bye, I had forgotten I had put Martyn back in the crib. He said I got this really scared look on my face, and was looking all around on the bed, like "where's the baby?!" He said "it's ok, it's ok! He's in the crib, he's safe..." I was totally half asleep. Thank goodness for Eli, I would have gotten up all in a panic, ha!

Martyn let me sleep in until about 6:15....I was so sleepy, but he was laying in the crib just chatting away. If he had understandable words, he would have been saying "Mama, get you're butt up out of bed and feed me!"...in a sweet way of course, because he's a sweet boy. So I got up, changed him and took him out to the living room to nurse him. He started rubbing his eyes and seeming tired, so I told him we needed to go back to bed for a little while....and he agreed. We went back to bed, and got up around 9.

We just hung out all day. I made some carrot baby food for him, and he REALLY liked it. He didn't make a yuck face once, and he ate it all up. I was so tired all day. My main task for the day was to go to the store. I totally fell asleep while Martyn was taking his afternoon nap, and it was HARD to get up and rally, to go to the store. But I did it.

Martyn was awake for the trip to the store, so I set him in the cart and strapped him in. I brought a burp clothe and wrapped it around the bar on the cart, so he wouldn't put his mouth on the it, and could suck on the burp cloth too. He just looks so tiny in the cart, with out the car seat. He was happy though, and alert and looking all around. A lot of people were giving me the baby eye. As usual, Martyn was just wonderful.

When we got home, I got everything put away. We had made a plan to meet up with everyone, and Robin and Miriam as well, who were on their way home from a little weekend trip to Seattle. Eli got home, and we headed over the hill, for sushi with the family. It was fun. Really cool to have the whole family together. We even made some passerby's take a big family photo of us.

Was a great way to end the day.
