leaping...

Minutes turned into days, days into weeks, and weeks into months... and somehow in the blink of an eye we arrived here, February 29, leap year, and the day before I return to work. I have mixed emotions about my return. On the one hand, I am excited to get out of the house, wear professional clothing (hopefully sans spit up), have adult conversations with my coworkers, and use my very expensive law degree on a daily basis. But on the other hand there is this:

Enough said. 

When I told people I was taking 6 months off of work to stay home with Henry, several people expressed that they couldn't wait to get back to work after their child was born. I don't judge those people, I'm just not one of them. I knew this was going to be hard, just not this hard. I thought I would have SOME desire to jump back into work, but to be brutally honest, I don't. I don't want to miss the smiles, giggles, the play time, and all the firsts. But I'm telling you all of this before I actually go back. The first day/week will be hard, but I'm sure once I get into a routine it will be easier. Right?!

In other news, Ryan and I FINALLY got to go out on Saturday night! Grandma and Grandpa Beach offered to watch Henry so Ryan and I could go out to dinner! We had a great time, and the best part of the night? Henry slept through the night!! (which he is doing more and more these days! yay!)

-- Pat and Mike, thank you for the night out!! You can watch Henry any time!!! :)

Other parts of our weekend:

Reading with Daddy

Henry has been eating solids a bit more -- he is liking the rice cereal more, and he also tried some avocado and sweet potato this week.

Not so sure about the avocado

How about sweet potato? 

Yum!

I think we have a winner!
