1. I have worn my hair in a ponytail for 2 weeks straight.
2. There are bananas in my house, for the first time, ever.
3. I have been on several walks. Outside.
4. I have eaten meals cold.
5. I did not wear makeup six days in a row.
6. I have replied to emails one handed.
7. I now bark and quack regularly.
8. Our trash has doubled.
9. There has been a voicemail message light blinking for 4 days.
10. Regardless of how tyerd I am… it takes me at least an hour to shut my brain off and go to sleep. (It used to take 10 minutes).

Its not that life has been boring… I just cant think of a clever way to write about the obscene amount of bottles, diapers, pats on the back, and hours spent entertaining a 7 month old. In trying to find a schedule and stick to it, my days have been made up of just that. And not much else.

Steve and I did one of the most cliched parental things last night. Due to a 5pm - 7pm nap, AJ was still up and at ‘em at 11:30 and Steve and I were dying to go to sleep. And so Steve suggested a car ride to calm him down and get him to sleep. I dont know any parents that have actually resorted to this… but I hear about it (on TV, I guess) all the time. And so we did. We drove out to Walmart to get some more diapers and wipes (how thrilling!) and he was asleep in 10 minutes. It would be bad to become dependent on a nightly car ride, but boy did it feel good to just sit back and watch him fall asleep. No tyerd arms for me.
Whats even better, is that he woke up for one bottle during the night, quickly went to sleep again and slept till 9am. Hell yes.
