Multi-tasking

So, I THINK I'm starting to get this hang of this "mommy" thing, especially when it comes to doing more than one thing at a time, since even though I now sleep less, there are not enough hours in the day to get all I want to get done AND be the stay at home mom. Even as I type this Finn is sitting on my lap and "contributing" to the post...which is drooling all over himself and me, as well as trying to shove my fingers in his mouth while banging on the keyboard....he is quite talented for just 5 months!
More examples of things I have started to do...the other day, I strapped him in his carrier and we vacuumed the entire house...boy, it was one heck of a workout! But it felt good that I didn't have to wait for his very short nap to get that done! We also have borrowed a bouncer from my friend Kate and since he is not as fond of lying down as he was before, I can sit him up, strap him in, and take him with me in the house. This morning he helped mommy wash dishes, and most days I take him with me so I can shower. And NOW, I am typing one handed because I am feeding him:)
Yesterday was Easter, and it was nice to have some friends over for an early dinner. We even put Finn in something other than pjs and took some cute pictures. (I will put them up later when I have both hands!) If we ever have a girl, I'm not dressing her up everyday when she will just drool and get messy anyways. Not to mention, your baby doesn't care what they wear as long as it's comfy! I already know some of Finn's clothes will be used since they are gender neutral. Actually, I plan on using most everything we got for him next kid, no matter boy OR girl- that is a little ways away still. It is good that he likes having his clothes changed, he thinks it's funny, or it tickles, but either way, it's easier for us. I am looking forward to warmer weather so I can just throw a onesie on him (less snaps)- it'll be great!
