Where am I, what day is it and where’s the baby?

Those are the words that float through my head every morning when I am woken up to Finley rustling around on the baby monitor.  It’s been 11 days of Finley and I and we are making it, though things could always be better with Nate here with me. I have just been on auto pilot mom mode since Nate left.  I having been trying desperately to find time to post to the blog day after day with no success. I am finding that time is my biggest challenge (the rest of my challenges are a whole other post). By the time I take care of Finley, the dogs, cats, house and other tasks I am about spent or it’s just too late and I have to catch my z’s or the next day will pose a new set of challenges.   Finley is not the type of baby who finds a lot of satisfaction playing by himself. He much prefer mommy entertain him 24/7.  If not mommy then the dogs and cats will do but you better be darn sure SOMEONE is in sight at all times.   On a whim I purchased a walker for him at Babies R Us this weekend. It’s actually turning out to be great. I haven’t gotten many pictures of him in it yet so that will be another post soon.  I really think it is going to help me accomplish more while keeping him happy and entertained.  I am happy that today is one more day down. I am happy that we get to see Nate in another short 11 or 12 days but sad that too shortly after that will be the real test of my courage, abilities and sanity!!  Here are just some pics of little Mr. Finley being himself this weekend. What a face? Really, he’s starting to make some very funny faces at me .

Cheeky fellow?
