Busy weekend

Shortstop had quite the busy weekend. First, Mark and I decided to buy him a papasan. With me me going back to work there may be times I just can't hold him as I need to get paperwork done, but I don't want to just lay him in the other room. This way he can sit right by me and I can talk to him while I get things done. It is a Winnie the Pooh papasan and has a vibrating button and music. Too cute! He doesn't look sold on it at first...

But I think he likes it...you?

The next big event does not have a picture but our little man took his first bottle. We wanted to test it out so that when I had to leave Monday for the first time, both Mark and I would be okay knowing whether or not Shortstop would be okay with eating from some foreign plastic object. He did great! I was a little emotional watching Mark feed him as the practice since feeding him has always been my job. But I am grateful that pumping has come easy and that this allows me to go to work knowing he is just fine and won't go hungry. I am also so grateful that Mark's schedule is such that he can stay home with him when I do have to leave. I will only have to leave for 3-4 hour 3 times a week which is so nice. The rest of the time I work from home or can take him with me.

Sunday we went to church for the first time as a family. It was great! I loved showing him off to even more people. (Sorry I am not in any of these pictures...I just seem to be the one behind the camera.) Look at my guys! So handsome!

And finally. yesterday, I went back to work. I was only gone for 3 and a half hours and yet it was the hardest thing I have had to do. Mark did great and loved the time with his boy. They just watched sports and hung out. But look what I have to leave...it is heartbreaking! I survived and I am grateful for the flexibility of my job and Mark's job.
