I went in fully expecting to spend most of my time eye-rolling everyone else but bearing it for the sake of my son's socialization. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the ladies (and babies) I met were interesting, accomplished, and fun to be around. I've been to places I probably would never have found on my own, gotten some pretty good advice when I had questions, and have just had a really good time getting to know some smart, like-minded women and their kiddos. It's been a real blessing to feel like I have my own life here and to expose Waylon to other kids and adults, especially since I am constantly worried that he leads a sheltered life with our families so far away. Here is a cute pic of us at one of the Mom's farewell party last night:
As far as home life is concerned, I feel like I'm really hitting my stride as of late. I feel like we are communicating really well right now and since we haven't traveled in a few weeks, we've been getting into a nice routine at night with Scott that includes a walk around the neighborhood in his little backpack and watching Jeopardy. I'm telling you, this kid loves Alex Trebek. Yeah, he gets excited by the Jeopardy music but when Alex appears on screen, he laughs and kicks like a little crazy person. I must get a video of this. It's making me hate Alex Trebek a little less. As I said in his 9-month update, this is the most fun stage I've had with Waylon yet. He loves running around in his little walker, terrorizing the dogs or pulling open the kitchen cabinets. He is also really into dragging his his stroller around while in his walker, which Scott thinks shows great strength in one so little. He could do this all day:
