We Survived!

Well, after my first week back at work it is safe to report that Alex and I both survived.  Alex had it easier than I did.  He got to spend each day hanging out with the best grandmothers in the world.  I had to go to school and miss him!  To make the transition easier for me, I made sure to take lots of pictures of him with me to work.  That way I could “see” him whenever I wanted to see him.

I won’t lie, though; it wasn’t easy.  I sure wish I could stay home with him all the time, but it doesn’t seem to be in the cards for us right now.

Alex had a couple of firsts this week.  He went to his first party.  Yes, you read that right: a party.  One of James’ childhood friends has a St. Patrick’s Day party every year, and we decided to stop by early on in the evening mostly just to introduce Alex to those friends.  Alex was a big hit at the party and spent most of his time there being passed around from person to person.  Seeing as St. Patrick’s Day is his mother’s second favorite holiday, Alex picked the right month to make his party debut!

Alex also went to church for the first time this past weekend.  He was a big hit there as well.  I know, at 2 months old he probably should have gone sooner, but I have been worried about how he would behave.  It turns out he did pretty well.  He made his baby grunts throughout the service and I did have to give him a bottle towards the end, but all in all he did great.  I was very proud.
