It's time to post again. I've held back from writing since having Juniper because I just didn't think that I would have the time for it. Also, frequently what is on my mind is work-related stuff that I don't necessarily want to put onto the internets. But, I feel inspired after checking out my friend's blogs (Bianca and Miss. Dewey D.). You'll see that I've even put some effort into change the look and photo on the page. Whee!
So, today was pretty quiet; in a good way. We went to church, then I needed to head to my job for a bit, then came back home. Juniper and I just played on the living room floor, I read on the couch while half watching her and just taking it easy. Having a baby has given the the mental space (or rather personal permission) to just hang out and not feel like I have to be doing something productive all of the time. Then, Juniper needed a nap at 5:45, and is now pretty much out for the night... giving me a free evening to troll about on the internets.
At church there is another baby that is only 4 days younger than June-Bug. I am very amused seeing the babies together and seeing how their personalities are already showing. Juniper is certainly an extrovert. When we arrived in the nursery room, she got right to business with playing with the many different toys around. Zoe, though, took a long time to get adjusted to the room. But, in taking her time she was very friendly with tons of smiles. Juniper doesn't come out with the smiles as often as she is more serious and has things to do. It also looks like Juniper will be one of those kids that you have to constantly remind to be kind and mindful of others. She was frequently taking Zoe's things or grabbing onto her in semi-rough ways. Thankfully, little Zoe has an older sister and is more used the the man-handling.
This past week Shawn had an appointment with Laura. She was talking up how we should have another baby because it helps lazy parents to have more than one child as they look after each other. There may have been other reasons for why she was encouraging more children, but this is the reason that Shawn came home and told me about. Since having that conversation, Shawn has become much more keen on having another baby. It is amusing to me to see how Laura's opinions carry so much weight in our home. But, many times Laura is right. Right, Miss Dewey? I think that Laura could do very well in having a call in radio show.
Another baby. I think it'd be awesome for you guys to have another. But no pressure here. We contemplate this possibility as well. I think only time will tell. Right now, I'm enjoying my baby as much as possible, because if we don't have another, this would be the only baby time we will have as parents.
