I love spring and summer. I love the warm, sunny days. It always cheers me up.
I'm still getting used to not working. I like it, but at the same time I don't. I start to go stir crazy after a while. Aiden usually keeps me pretty well on my feet throughout the day though. He's such a wonderful baby. The past two days have been the same, we wake up, he eats, I eat, we play a little. I wait till he starts getting tired then put him in the stroller and walk the river walk. That's a pretty good long walk. It took me an hour and a half today to do it. But I also had to stop to feed him once. That was interesting. I just couldn't get him to calm down any other way. So I parked the stroller by the walkway, took him out, and sat down by the water so no one could see much. That's one of the only down sides to breast feeding is finding an appropriate place to do it. There are some people who would just whip it out in front of anyone under the sun, but I try to do it a little more modestly and descretely.
Kristen had come down for a visit Monday. That was great. I hadn't seen her since before I had Aiden. We went out to Fort Western. Also the same location as Portland Headlight. I wish I could have remembered that, we probably would've gotten there a lot sooner than we did! :) Getting lost and just driving around some is fun too though. We talk about a lot. Nothing in particular really... just whatever comes to mind. It's nice to have someone to talk about anything with. She's one of the very few people I still talk to since high school. And there's only one person I still talk to from college! But anyway...
I guess that's all for now. Ben had grilled up a good steak, so I'm full. I'm also tired. Of to bed I go. I need to get Ben up and get him to carry Aiden up the stairs. He can usually do it without waking him up. We are trying to get him into the bassinette, but it's hard because anytime I feed him at night, I fall asleep before he does and I don't put him back in the bassinette. I'll have to figure out a better system at some point. Good night.
