I think I'm going to have to get a job.
Yup.
I am going to try to find a part time job where Simon can come with me. Not so easy.
I found a job for an Assistant Director at a daycare. Lord knows I could do that job. And I also found a job for a in home babysitter (a nanny) of a 15 month old. And I can do that job as well. All my years in daycare are paying off. Both jobs are part time, so me and Simon would have the mornings at home and would be home for dinner and weekends.
I like being at home with Simon all day, taking walks, playing in his pool, swinging on the porch watching the cars go by. But unfortunately, the world runs on money, and lots of it. And we don't have lots of it. But if I could get a job that Simon could come to, especially like the nanny job, that would be the best of both worlds.
So I'd be working part time (with Simon), selling my photography, and selling AVON. Now to just get all these things making me good money.

enjoying the pool
for the first time, unlike the one in Cinci.
His pool is an inflatable duck tub that we don't use, so we made it into his private pool. :)

bye bye bitty baby
My son has swallowed a brick of lead.
He's so heavy. He started formula this past Friday (the 13th, ooOOoo!), and is loving it. Unfortunately, he's getting chunky. I know, it's only been 4 days, but it's true. And he's so freakin' heavy. My little itty bitty baby is going away and being replaced by a baby that ate him.

yesterday, for the first time
Simon rolled over from his back to his belly! He's been rolling over from belly to back for about a month now, but yesterday was the first time from back to belly. And I got to see it happen! No offense to Nana and Papa, but I'm so glad he waited to do this until after we got back from the beach.
Of course, Simon and mama had a deal: No "new's" while mama's away.

first time away from each other
We went to the beach last Thursday-Sunday with our friends Blake and Andrea.
We had a lot of fun in Wilmington. My family has a place down there so all we have to pay for is the gas to go and groceries. That's a pretty cheap vacation. We hung out and watched movies on our down time, and of course spent Friday and Saturday on the beach, we did a little shopping, we walked through Downtown Wilmington, and went on a Ghost Walk, hearing stories of ghosts haunting certain buildings/cemeteries in the area. While at the beach, we got a decorative fishing net to hang in our room and we collected seashells from the beach, as we always do. But instead of having them in random places or losing them, this time we're going to hang them in the net. And each time we go to the beach, we'll collect the coolest, most unique shells, write the year on the backside, and hang them in our net in our room at home. It should be fun to see it fill up over the years.
Simon stayed the four days with my parents. They really enjoyed that, which we all knew they would. Simon I think learned a lot that weekend. He learned that other people are happy to meet his needs; it doesn't have to be just mama. He came back from his vacation with Nana and Papa so much more trusting of other people, and so much more social. He smiles at all our friends now, when he used to just stare at them in the way we call "the judge" and he likes...well, he tolerates being held by other people. Last night we went across the street to our friends' house and he played with Kelly for about an hour, just kicking and smiling at things she said and just talked and talked and talked. Now, he's always done that with us, but as soon as someone "different" was looking at him, he would be "the judge." We're so proud of how well he did at Nana's and how better he is now with people.
We got a fish today. A bright red beta. I think a fish bowl makes a house so much more "homey," and I think Simon will enjoy watching him swim around. He loved shopping for one; he stared into each fish tank, just watching all the fishy. We haven't thought of a name yet...do people name their fish? I haven't had a fish since I shared on with my suite mates my junior year of college. His name was Kickapoo. I don't really remember who came up with that, or how.
And of course, our tree was cut down today. It was huge and so dead, and every time it stormed, we were scared it would fall on the back of the house, through our bedroom. So it needed to be cut down; it just seems so empty there now. At least now the many crows won't wake us up in the morning.
Well Corey just yelled dinner. Over and out.
