Although his mouth looks to be gaping open in this particular picture, the corners of his mouth are turned up.
I thought this was a cute picture of my boy. He really is growing up so fast. Yesterday he turned one month old!
I am slowly adjusting to life as a mom. It is quite different to think that this is not just a phase of life. I am used to having different endpoints to look forward to. For example: graduating high school, graduating college, finishing a mission, ending a school year, etc. However, with being a mom there really isn't a finish. I am trying to figure out how to grasp the concept of being a mom forever. It is a wonderful thing being a mother, don't get me wrong, just a bit overwhelming to think of the commitment and responsibility that comes with it. Lately the days have felt long. Rob has been waking up at 5:00 each day. He usually leaves the house by 5:45 and heads into the office to study for the CPA (Certified Public Accountant) test. He doesn't get home until about 6:30 at night. Trying to figure out what to say and do with Max for the whole day is difficult. I try and find productive and constructive things to do. I try and go on a walk with Max if it isn't too hot outside (I am still not allowed to exercise the way I would like to). I make meals. I clean the house. I do the laundry. I feed Max. I bubble Max. I hold Max. I read. I try and find an errand to do each day. I watch TV. I try and think of things to post on my blog! However, right now there isn't a lot of variance from day to day. If anyone has any suggestions of things to do each day with Max, I would appreciate it!

I don't have a lot of suggestions but it is funny because I think many are like you with baby #1--I was! I didn't realize until now that I could have still done the things that I did before and more because NOW is the time that entertainment, learning, and watching are important! I wish I would have done more "new" things then because you don't get much time later (only during naps!!). I love naps (for either or both of us!!). Find some hobbies or things you want to make...I made a quiet book and a cart cover after I recovered from sleep deprivation. But he sure is a cutie! Keep the pictures and info coming! When does Rob take the CPA test?
Motherhood is a big adjustment. (at least is was for me). Just hang in there and enjoy the moment. Soon Max will be turning 2 and you'll think what?!? Someone once said that the days are long but the years fly by. I think it is so true.
Come and hang out at our house!!
I don't know what women do all day, I've been working lately like rob has...from about 7:30 - 8:30 everyday...Sarah tries to keep busy doing activities with Mason and also working on little projects, meeting neighbors, etc. You can call and talk to her more if you'd like!
I love your thoughts about motherhood. And I don't have any suggestions for you. I've been a mom for nine years now and I still haven't adjusted. :)
