Four Month Firsts

Brighton is four months old!

He's tons of fun, and we've had lots of "firsts" for him lately; it has been a blast.

Tough Decision

Brighton LOVES his baths, but he is now dealing with a decision that is REALLY FUN for us to watch.

He can't decide which is more fun:

1.) Kicking his legs and splashing himself

or

2.) The new addition: eating his feet

What a life, huh?

The New Normal

The combination our new little guy, Brighton, and going back to school has brought about the new normal that we are in the process of adjusting to. And I thought we were busy before.
I have to say...so far so good. I have little to no free time, but I do feel somewhat in control. Here's what our school days look like:

5:40 am - Lindsay wakes up.
6:00 am - Jon wakes up.
6:45 am - Brighton wakes up.
7:00 am - Brighton eats.
7:15 am - We leave for daycare or she arrives at our house.
3:00ish pm - Lindsay arrives home from school or picks up Brighton.
3:30 pm - Brighton eats.
4:00 pm - Play with Brighton, return phone calls, answer emails, do housework, plan dinner, etc.
5:30 pm - Jon gets home.
5:45 pm - Walk/Run (all three of us)
6:45 pm - Dinner
7:15 pm - Brighton's Bath
7:30ish pm - Brighton eats.
8:00 pm - Brighton goes to bed. We hopefully have one hour before Lindsay goes to bed to prepare for the next day. If we're lucky we might be able to watch a little TV.
9:00 pm - Lindsay showers.
9:30 pm - Lindsay goes to bed.

If we've neglected you dear friends and family, we're so sorry. Maybe now you can see what we've been up to. I'm sure it will be much easier in the near future, but it's taking a lot of effort to maintain at this point.

The weekends are priceless, but they must come to an end. Here comes another week, and this one will be five days - yikes.

Brighton & the Bear

Brighton is just about 16 weeks old already.

I'm back to school/work. We're all in the process of adjusting to our new normal - so far so good. Although it doesn't inlcude much time for blogging. TGIF tomorrow. I'll try to be back this weekend.
