on our own

so victor went off to work yesterday. you can check out how it went on his blog. i, on the other hand, spent my first full day with caleb by myself since he was a month old (when victor went to philly for 4 or 5 days without me). man, what do stay-at-home moms do to entertain their babies all day long? yesterday, i sang, like, a hundred songs to him, let him watch me eat & clean the house (twice), had him play in the exersaucer (twice), in the bouncer (twice), went for a walk- baby strapped in the carrier, chuy pulling on the leash (twice), read him stories 3 at a time (twice), chased after chuy (about 10 times)... and we still had several hours to kill before daddy came home.

thank goodness amy called this morning and asked to have lunch in chinatown. it broke up my day very nicely... except for the crazy, screaming baby in the back seat as i drove home. (he was overdue for his nap.) note to self: cannot go out for more than 2 hours at a time unless prepared for hysterical kid.

*sigh*

anyone free to hang out (in 2 hour increments) during the week?

oh... check out this pic. so cute. caleb and chuy are leaning the same way. (on second thought, i think chuy is leaning away from caleb, and caleb is leaning towards chuy. this seems to be the trend in their relationship.) i am so glad caleb likes chuy so much. when he's upset, i can usually plop him infront of the dog and be sure that he will instantly start smiling or laughing. now if only chuy would stay still and let caleb pet him longer...
