A Week With Mommy!

Bye-bye Daddy! Photo the night before Chris left:

Chris was out of town all week so it was just me and the little man. Despite the lack of sleep (up at 4:30 am every morning) I love our time one-on-one. While the weeknights are mostly just completing the basics (dinner, laundry, bath, etc) we did get out one night to the Y for family night. They have a toddler gym area where they set up slides, trampolines, basketball, soccer, tunnels and we even brought out the big rainbow parachute and the kids got to run under it. My parents met us at the Y and got to watch Jackson wear himself out....and he did. I forgot my camera so you'll have to envision the evening : )
I do feed my son out of a bowl, this was his choice...



Slowly but surely, I'm turning Chris' "man-cave" into my workout room (shhhh!). The first night Chris was gone Jackson and I bought an exercise mat and Swiss ball to go with the treadmill and free weights that currently reside there. Jackson thought it was pretty cool that he could flop around on the kitchen floor and play with the giant ball. Cheap entertainment for the entire night!

Here are some random photos from Friday after Chris returned home. We played a lot of peek-a-boo and he crashed early after a long week (so did I!).

Chris plays peek-a-boo with the camera:


Jackson, winding down? Your Mom is!
