The Other Side of Overwhelmed

We've had a lot going on the last three weeks. At one point, all I could think about was what was right in front of me. After Austin's mom went home (a wonderful help she was to us, by the way), Austin's Spring Break began...and along with that, two weeks of Daddy Daycare. The same week, Austin's brother, William, and his family came to visit from Mississippi. We had put our house on the market and had accepted an offer, so Austin wanted to move while his brother was in town. So...somehow, with the help of family and a couple of Austin's students (who also happened to be my former second grade students), we managed to move most of our things last Tuesday. We've now taken up residence in a condo my dad rents out while we get ready to start fixing up our new (old) house.


Reid has been a trooper! I really believe his Babywise routine has kept him happy. When he's on schedule, he eats, stays up for a couple of hours, and then naps. When he wakes up, we do it again.


He is drooling everywhere! I keep waiting for his bottom two teeth to break on through to the other side. I can see them, they'll be here soon. His hair is continuing to thin out-especially in the back. He's tipping the scales at over 15 pounds now. Life is good!

I love this picture even if I can't make if face the right direction!

Reid got his Bumbo from Grandma when she came to visit. We call him the King of Bumbo!


Reid is finally able to start using his Jumpster. It's a new favorite thing.
