The Boss

First, I would like to apologize for not blogging frequently enough for all of you baby-crazed people (Andy...)

But in my defense, I would like to say it is not my fault.

Orin has very definite opinions about what I should and should not be doing at any given point. 

Blogging is never on his "things that mommy is allowed to do when she is not with me" list.

Neither is eating.

But I did get to have my first drink in almost a year while he was taking a nap (we were celebrating Casey getting a raise at work... already!)

But Orin does spend much less time sleeping now.

During his awake hours, he is teaching me the lessons of parenthood.

For example: whenever you here the telltale sounds of poopy, do not rush to change the diaper. Normally within 90 seconds, there will be a second movement.

I forgot this today.

I will not go into details, but it wasn't pretty.

Also during the wake-up-baby hours, we try on hats that are much too big...

and venture out into the world to run errands.

But Orin's favorite activity is still sleeping

and dreaming of becoming a superhero.

This is his now-familiar Superman pose.

He will sleep all morning like this (notice that I did not say "he will sleep all night like this"), dreaming big dreams of the future....

A future which may, but I promise nothing, contain more frequent blog posts.
