Lazy Days

Chase goes back to work on Tuesday of next week. Until then, we’re having lots of lazy days. We’ve been watching Twin Peaks every day, which we’re both really enjoying. There’s nothing quite like watching a pseudo-soap opera with your someone late into the night. And by late, I mean until 9 or 10pm ‘cause that’s as late as we dare stay up now that Milo dictates our sleep schedule.

Mom arrived last night, and she’s joined our lazy day rituals. This includes lots of sitting around and eating. Now that she’s here, it also includes football. Alabama is playing tomorrow, so I imagine we’ll watch that. Though it won’t feel the same, I’m sure, without the BBQ or Kenneth screaming in the background. We’re planning to order pizza, so maybe that will suffice.

As for Ms. Milo, I think she might turn out to be a colicky baby after all. They say it begins at around 3 weeks, and she’s definitely more fussed lately. She’s not pleased with anything, really, during the day. If she’s awake, she gets fussed quickly. If she’s tired, she fights sleep. So there’s been lots of crying and not a ton of sleeping during the day. Her nights are still ok, though - she wakes about every 2 hours to eat, and usually it’s not too difficult to get her back to sleep. She likes to stay awake for the morning beginning at about 6 or 6:30am, which is difficult to get used to. I’ve never been a morning person. But they say that in order to change a habit you only have to do it for 21 days in a row. So maybe I’ll soon be a morning person? Who knows.
