When did he eat last? Is it every 3 hours? Should we have changed him before taking him for a walk? Does he need a hat? Should he be sleeping or awake? All questions that 2 aunts and 1 cousin are asking this evening as we babysit Kyle so his parents can see a movie. A movie, by the way, that Matt and I want to see too, but are graciously letting Steve and Ketsia see first. Kyle is 2 weeks old today and continues to be spoiled by us all. I only have another day and a half before returning to St. Louis and Pilgrimage preparation. I plan to get as much baby time as I can. This week has significance in the Merritt family too - soccer try outs for Matt and Ben. Lots going on here or as Matt described it "this house is crazy!" And then you add the Olympics! (Just what is synchronized diving?) Back to the house - it's a fun place to be with lots of energy and laughs.
One week is definitely not enough time for meeting a new nephew, enjoying the rest of my family and actually getting rested. But, it's what I get and will have to do for now. I probably won't take the remaining days until Christmas.
I've linked my blog to facebook and not sure how I feel about that. I'm not sure how I feel about fb in general. It seems to take over a person's life. It's fun to catch up with old friends but still, so many applications to sort through and some strange, random people asking me to be their friends. Present readers excepted, of course. Tomorrow, a little shopping, baby holding and another day of avoiding lotus notes. I bought a new camera and will try to figure out how to download my pics tomorrow, too.
