This week was…interesting? I guess.

Spent my first night alone with Marco, because of a dumb work schedule that Tim had to abide by (luckily, only once!).  I am glad he never has to do that again, but it was actually a good night – Marco slept 11 hours! He’s now on a pretty consistent 9 hours per night, with occasional leaps into the 11 hour range. :)

I know he’s only 3 months, but the other day I was eating a peach, and he looked interested, so I held a piece out and let him kind of taste it. He really liked it! He licked his lips and smiled! Don’t worry, I didn’t let him actually get a piece in his mouth (I don’t want him to choke, duh!) but he liked the flavor. I’ve also let him have a suck on some watermelon, which he liked. So, maybe it’s a sign of things to come? In a few weeks we get to add rice cereal into his diet, and after a month of that he gets to try real food…I can’t wait to start using my Beaba baby cooker to make Marco’s meals.

Another ‘first’: I left Marco for the first time with someone other than Tim.  Adrienne and Justin were kind enough to watch him on Sunday night, while I drove to San Francisco and laughed my butt off with Micaela at the Patton Oswalt show. It was a little difficult to leave at first, and I was totally one of those moms at the club, showing off pictures of Marco. But, I had a lot of fun and it was good to have a night to myself.

Went back to work this week. I worked Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday at the Inn, and this afternoon at the insurance office. It was good to get back into the swing of things, but I have had to rearrange my days in order to get everything done!

Anyway, I am looking forward to tomorrow…a whole day with Tim and Marco, all to myself.
