Careful, we have a jumper!

So Ari decided that jumping off the bed to the floor would be fun.  He jumped from the bed to his blanket on the floor while I attempted to zip a zipper.  That's what I get for trying to keep him happy while I get dressed.  He had been on the floor while I figured out what to wear but started complaining so I put him in the middle of the bed.  Stupid me!

My first thought was that we must get to the ER asap.  I called his grandfather to drive us to the hospital and the Rabbi to let him know what happened.  While on the phone,  Ari stopped crying and started talking to me and smiling and laughing so I called the Doctor's office.  His grandfather arrived and we got in the car as the doctor's office called me back.  No ER visit was needed.  They think he is probably fine since has has no bumps or bruises from his leap and is acting normally.  We have to watch him closely for the next 48 hours, but chances are good that he won't even remember taking 10 years off my life.  I was a child without fear which led to numerous ER visits, so my dad said it sounds like he takes after me.  You know what they say about payback...

Sleep!

I love the thought of sleeping through the night.  Ari has done it.  Why can't I?  I keep waking at old feeding times.  

Ari goes from 8pm until 5:45am without a snack or diaper change most nights.  I'm so grateful for this and feel like a new person, but I keep waking up when he used to eat.  I find myself wide awake at least once a night listening to the silence of my sweet boy.

I think I'm not as crabby as I was just a week or two ago.  It is nuts that I'm more productive too.  Today I have nothing I "need" to do.  My house is clean and so is the laundry. I am left to my own devices while the boy naps. So here I sit blogging and watching TLC.   

More sleep has made everything better, but I find myself making bad decisions in the name of being nice.  I agreed to take Ari on a road trip in June.  He may travel well, he has in past shorter excursions, but I get carsick.  Really carsick.  As a food source, I won't be able to drug myself for the trip either.  All 11 hours to Michigan...

Fun!

So we are having a blast as the weather gets warmer.  The other day we went to the zoo for the first time and it was lovely!  This was not our first outdoor excursion, but it was the smoothest one we have had.  

The Headhouse Square Farmers' Market opens next month and I can't wait for Ari to eat local.  Last fall, he was on breastmilk only, so he got everything secondhand.  This summer he can meet the people who grow his food which is awesome.
