Randomness

Not much going on here, just the balancing act of keeping the house clean and the pantry stocked, finding time to write, and, of course, riding herd on a very active boy. We discovered a great place for babies and children under 5 on Monday and spent nearly an hour there doing puzzles and crawling around the "sensory room." The sensory room is very baby friendly with a little mini ball pit, changing lights, bells and chimes to swat at, buttons to push... and it's all very crawl-friendly with pads and beanbags lining the floor.

I weighed him today and he's pushing upward on that graph - nearly at the 10th percentile. The reflux meds are definitely working. Chatted with a couple of the health visitors I know, plus a woman from the post-natal group I was in. She's from South Africa so I felt no guilt in moaning to her about the weather contrast between here and California. (And yes, if you haven't guessed, it's been raining here! And humid to boot! Well, I guess better humid than cold, but ew.)

I don't have any recent pictures, so I'll just stick up a few from CA, because what's a blog post without pictures? :)
