This morning Everett and I had a breakfast that consisted of cranberry muffins and fruit. Everett is a completely independent eater now, which is so nice. He was in such a great mood this morning. After that, we played in the basement/playroom for the majority of the morning. I have decided that if we go on an outing now, that mid-afternoon is best. This works better for Hampton.
Hampton was very whiny today. I couldn't quite put my finger on what it was, but now I think he was just extra tired. He could barely last an hour before he wanted to go back to sleep.
While Hampton was having some tummy time, Everett laid right down next to him. I thought this was so sweet. Last night we watched the movie, A River Runs Through It. I had never seen it before, but loved it because of the bond between the two brothers. This moment that my boys shared this morning reminded me of that. I hope that they are best friends. They enjoy each others company so much already.
While Hampton was taking one of his many naps today, Everett and I enjoyed lunch together. I love those moments as well. When I can spend one-on-one time with each baby during the day. Everett and I shared peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and had "small chat." It was sweet. Later on in the afternoon, Everett had peaches for snack and played with Play-Doh while Hampton watched. Hampton loves the entertainment that Everett provides and so do I!
Late afternoon I decided it was time to get out, so we went to Wal-Mart to pick up a few things. They both did great! Everett loves to get out and Hampton is becoming more content with it. Tonight I made basil chicken pasta for dinner, bathed both boys, and tucked them into bed. I used to dread Mondays when I was working full-time, but now I love them. We usually just relax since weekends are busy. Today I felt so blessed to be at home with my babies. It is work. But it is the good kind of work.
