I miss the mornings where Martyn was up with me, on weekdays....Well kind of. I mean, I'm glad for him to sleep in, because I think he needs it, and Eli certainly does. But I miss seeing him in the mornings.
He got up this morning, so I did get to see him, but lately he's been sleeping in and I realized how much I miss him.
I told Eli I wasn't coming home at lunch today, and if he needed milk, he had to come to me to get it. He didn't end up needing to, which made me feel better about the whole thing. I've been pumping in the morning before I leave, to try and up the on hand milk supply, but it's hard to add that to the list of things that need to get done in the morning.
Tonight when I got home, Eli handed Martyn off to me, and he pretty much stuck to me the rest of the evening. I had a brief period, of maybe an hour total, that he was willing to play in the play pen, and not just want want to be with mama. I don't mind at all....I feel like when I get home I'm relief duty for Eli, and it's my joy to take care of the boy. Apparently he was daddy clingy all day, but it's easier for mama to soothe.
He's really working on those little gums, poor guy. I know he's been working on them for quite some time now, but I'm really noticing his increasing discomfort with it. Ah well, soon enough those little toofs will be breaking through. I wish there was a way I could convey to him, that it won't be like this forever.
I like that pic. a lot - very artsy. Though, don't forget, for him it basically is forever -- he can't think that far ahead, and 6 months is his lifetime! (Never mind the years of teething ahead of him.)
