Random things that keep me distracted

First! Milestones: Baby Peanut is now searching for us around the corner when we play peakaboo, indicating his growing grasp of object permanence. He is also working a lot on his pincer grasp, and he turns the light switch on and off, then turns to look at the lamp, showing his new understanding of cause and consequence. Yay, baby brain!

His sleep is... I have no idea. The regressing seems to be over? He's had some good nights and some bad nights and some night terrors and.. Uhm. I don't know where are we standing right now. I am sleeping as it comes, some nights better than others. Cosleeping and bedsharing are saving my life.

Yesterday we went to the movies for the first time since the baby was born. I don't remeber what was the last movie we watched when I was pregnant. We saw Star Wars last night with Cookie's friends who are visiting from out of town. It was cool! I enjoyed the movie more than I thought I would, Elias stayed with my parents and after the movie we picked him up and had everyone over for a late dinner. He napped then socialized and behaved like a champ.

I am not done shopping. Gahhhh. The. Horror. Peanut is a shopping champ, though. Friday he endured three and a half hours of shopping at the mall like it was nothing.

Our water pump and pressurization equipment broke on Friday. We need to buy new ones. This month has been really hard not to overspend.

I am still playing Hearthstone, the Blizzard card game. I started playing in February or March, and the game has kept me company for all the late night feedings and the baby napping on top of me.

I took on a new project with an old client, designing 5 bathrooms for her new, unfinished house. None of my other projects are done yet, though. I am also theoretically starting a new renovation this week but I'm not feeling it. It's Christmas week! Could we maybe start it next week? Ugh.

My friends will be here this week. I can't wait to see them all!! My brother is also arriving tomorrow, he's meeting Elias at last! Two of my sister's in law are due any day now, so I can't wait to meet my new nieces as well.

I barely did anything this weekend. It felt nice, if a bit maddening. At least I wrapped almost all of the presents!
