Spring

Wow. I had a whole week off and I didn't even write a blog post. I did, however, thoroughly enjoy watching my baby boy grow up in small, incremental steps. How can I slow down time and still get to summer vacation ASAP?

Here are some of Ollin's latest achievements:

• Standing without realizing it
• Waving his hand across the span of area to his right or left in a Vanna White gesture
• Scrunching up his face and smiling in a flirty way
• Obsessing over books for long periods of time, making humming noises the whole time he turns the pages
• Skipping his afternoon nap
• Sprouting four molars months ahead of schedule
• Saying "giggle giggle giggle giggle"

Some of Mama's achievements: 

• Applying for six jobs online
• Going to the zoo with my family (Papa's achievement: braving the crowds and the shuttle bus)
• Three play dates for Ollin
• House cleaning
• Refreshing myself with a break from middle schoolers
• Three days of gardening with my family
