Good morning daylight savings time. Ugh. Everyone who is so excited for the "extra" hour can stick it you know where... just kidding. But seriously, for some reason today my baby decided to get up an hour earlier then regular time (7) meaning he got up at 6 - but because it was daylight savings he really got up at 5. Sweet. I am kind of surprised that I didn't anticipate this change sooner... maybe I would have a game plan? Well, since I didn't prepare.. I suppose we are just going to go with it.
Many other changes have recently happened ! The baby is now 8 months old! He started sitting on his own at 6 months, crawling at 6.5 months and pulling himself up at 7.5 months! Now he is literally cruising in his crib and letting go for a few seconds only to fall and try again. Oh boy oh boy. This little guy is CRAZY!Yes and he is now saying mama and dada. I thought it was kind of strange that he started saying mama first... but its super cute and dada was just around the corner. We got two teeth too!!! I am pretty sure more are on the way because the baby is literally soo darn cranky and having all the typical teething symptoms... fingers crossed these teeth will break through soon! only to be followed shortly after with others i am sure...
In light of the title of the blog post lets talk about change. 1 year ago I was pregnant and couldn't even imagine how much my life was about to change with this new baby. Now I surprise myself all the time with how I am so much less selfish (I have no idea how to word that). I spend all my time with this little guy and I miss him when I am not with him. I still have plenty of wants but 99% of everything I do is for the baby and I love it! I can't really say that I am surprised by this because I have wanted to be a mother for so long and was so excited to begin motherhood, but there honestly is no way to prepare. What a gift.
