Where are all the people?

First of all, I want to thank Jenn for her very nice compliment (see comment under "Illegal Immigration"). I always think I'm biased when I think Hayden is the most handsome lad, so it helps to hear it from an un-related (although friendly) person!

Now, for the rest of you... I am a little upset that I keep coming back to this Blog and only 1-2 people are responding! We want to hear from you! Whether you're telling us that Hayden is cute or that your weather is fabulous wherever you live, we want to hear it! All you have to do is register and log-on! What is the point of a blog if no one is blogging?!

And now an update from me... I started back at work yesterday, although I am only in the office on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursdays. I took Hayden to a home daycare about 2 miles away for the first time yesterday and it was super hard. I fully trust Teri, but I have been used to waking, breathing and living Hayden for the past 2+ months. So I have to face another transition. I really think it will be a good balance; it will allow him to socialize and have someone watch over him and it will provide me some non-baby time! Can you tell that I've been practicing that speech in my head?

Stella, the dog, still hasn't gotten used to having Hayden in the house. I think she's adjusting, but she is lacking in the attention department, poor thing. I keep telling myself that it will change when Hayden gets bigger and gives her more attention than she cares for! He'll chase her around and pull her tail and she'll just want to be left alone at that point! And then soon after that, they will be best buddies!

We are getting in more of a routine around here as we start to get the hang of this "parent" thing. It's still bizarre, though, to think about us as parents. It's also strange to see Hayden growing so fast. I know those of you that have seen him know how big he is (I feel that he's gigantic for his age), but he physically changes everyday. I go into his room in the mornings and it seems like a bigger boy each day. It's fun, though, now that he's smiling and cooing and it definitely makes it more worthwhile. I feel so blessed to have him and get so emotional when he gets a big, tongue-filled smile on his face as he watches his dad...it's the greatest feeling in the world!

I better get going and think I'll go spend some time with Stella... She'd appreciate that!
