I had the best intentions to keep up with my blog when I began... and then again the second time around when I decided to focus on mommyhood topics. It's been a while since my last post, which was facilitated by mobile blogging from my Crackberry. It's not so easy to get in front of the computer these days for leisure time. A lot of work, working from home... as a full-time publicist... and being a mom to the cutest (now) 7 month old. I hired a nanny so I could keep working from home and be close to him. Coincidentally, today is her first day and she happens to be my sister. Two days a week she will watch him while I work, of course I'm paying her... rather pay her than a complete stranger, excellent references and all. The rest of the week, I take him to my mama's and I work from her home office there while she watches him and of course, I do too to some extent.
Now at 7 months, Rock is crawling (started at 6 months) and makes sure to crawl to anywhere that has a ledge or height because he wants to climb and stand. He's standing and his crib holding himself and "walking" from one side to the other while holding on to the railing. Hard to believe! Fifteen days ago he could barely sit up without flopping over... I have a hysterical video (which is in the pending to upload file) of him sitting up and flopping over, over and over again. He's relentless when he's trying to do something, whether its reaching for a toy or trying to stand up.
It's truly amazing to watch him develop. He is growing so very fast before my very eyes. They really mean it when they all said "They grow so fast!" I'm enjoying the ride as much as I can while maintaining a self-employed career, which I've learned is not an easy feat. I failed to mention I quit my job at an international full-time public relations agency to work on my own. I never went back after maternity leave.
Here he is, days shy of 7 months old...
