Last Friday, Jan. 23rd, I accepted a new job! It is such a relief to have the infamous job search over with so quickly. I am very fortunate to have found a new job that seems to be entirely more family friendly. It looks like I will be able to work part time with little travel. This is really amazing and I really could not ask for a better set-up. So....the wonderful news about this whole situation is that I get to spend more time with my sweet little man! For now, I am just really enjoying being a full time mommy for another couple of weeks until my new endeavor begins. Then, only part time...certainly no complaints! We are very blessed.
As the infamous saying goes, when you take one step forward, you take two steps backwards. Last Monday, Jack got his 4 month old shots. Since then, he has had a very difficult time sleeping....poor little babe. I mean, he never was been a wonderful sleeper, but the last couple of days, he has really regressed to his newborn ways of waking every 1.5-2 hours. Even though Jack is not sick, we hope he gets back to his normal self soon. Mommy was really starting to enjoy her full 5-6 hours of continuous sleep!
Like every January in Chicago, it has been very cold outside. Predictably, Jack and I have been spending lots of time indoors together. In spite of the cold weather, we have been having a lot of fun doing so many different activities. He LOVES to watch t.v. (he is a lot like in dad when it comes to his fondness of the t.v.-HA!) and his Granny is trying to teach him to read by watching his "Baby Can Read" dvd's. We will have to wait and see how that goes. He has really been making so much progress during tummy time. His neck is getting so strong and his big accomplishment this past week is that he rolled over for the first time on Jan. 21st! ok, he kind of just rolled onto his side and then fell onto his back, but that still counts! The video below captures him rolling over for the fourth time....unfortunately, I did not have the video camera in hand for the first 3 times.
