Week one SAHM report

So this is the first day of my second week home with my baby, and so far it's been pretty good. Mason took his first steps on my last day of work, fortunately to me, so I didn't miss it. He's been doing pretty well with that, standing on his own, walking from person to person. He enjoys it!

Monday, my first day off, I got sick. Good timing right? Mike and I reorganized the living room that day and I did bunches of laundry, which is good, because the rest of the week I didn't have the energy for much of anything. We also discovered our A/C is out, because we turned it on for the first time, and it only got hotter. Our landlord is taking care of it, but fortunately it cooled down the rest of the week. Like down to 50 yesterday.

I made a trip to the library, went shopping on Friday, and spent most of the week watching cartoons, since I was sick. I'm feeling much better now, and have laundry to catch up on, as well as some organizing I wanted to get done.

Mason is doing well, I've seen some changes in him already. He has been a lot less anxious, he still follows me around, but doesn't cry when I'm in the bathroom, etc. This morning though, something funny happened. I had nursed him around 5 and moved him back to the crib ,and when he woke up at 7, he freaked, making the weirdest screaming noise. I really think he thought I had left, and was unhappy about it.

Also, he's getting a bit more clingy. Yesterday we went to my in-laws, and something happened. Mason's grandpa got down on the floor to play with him, and Mason started screaming, like he was afraid. He finally calmed down enough to let others hold him and play with him, but I'm not sure what caused that reaction. My mother-in-law has the theory that he is still a bit anxious that I might leave him, especially when we are at other people's houses. I hope he relaxes soon.

I like the new set up of our living room, we moved the crib into our bedroom so we could open up the living room and make more space for Mason to play. He enjoys it. He's eating more on his own too. We made garlic bread on Saturday and gave him a piece of the Italian bread that didn't have lots of garlic and butter on it and he snarfed it down.

Mike says I seem happier and more relaxed as well. I've actually had more trouble sleeping now, probably partially because I don't go to bed early anymore. Got to go play with my happy little boy now!
