Update from Mom

Sorry for the delay in posting - this motherhood thing takes up a lot of time! Schuyler will be one-month old tomorrow (A word of warning - this post will not include periods - we are having an issue with our laptop) I now understand why my Mom laughed when I said I was going to take this time to do things like organizing recipes and cleaning out my closet It is a huge victory if we are able to eat dinner while watching an entire episode of 30 Rock or The Office! My advice to all my future Mom friends: Enjoy your long, leisurely meals while you still can

I can't believe how fast these past four weeks have gone by Schuyler is definitely growing up and becoming more alert We have now taken Schuyler for her first walk (see pics below) Todd and I also took Schuyler out on the town this past Saturday She slept while we ate Five guys' cheeseburers and fries on the console of the F-150! Schuyler and I also finished our first book - a collection of short stories from my favorite chick lit author, Jennifer Weiner Initially, I questioned whether or not this was an appropriate choice for a newborn I decided it was okay since she sleeps for most of the reading time anyway Still, I chose the more traditional "Little Women" for our next book It has also dawned on me that I know zero nursery rhymes I improvise by singing songs I do know like our high school song , Take Me Out to the Ballame, etc She loves when I hum her the Anheuser-Busch theme song Again, I don't know that a song about the beer is infant appropriate, but we do what works in this house!
