This summer has given me the opportunity to stay home with Simon at the perfect time in his development – he’s 4 months old and really starting to develop a personality with the added bonus being that he’s incapable of deliberately being an asshole yet.
It’s been absurdly good – the things that I feared most about parenthood are the things I’m enjoying the most. I was terrified of not having general freedom of movement or the opportunity to travel, but I’ve found that shrinking the confines of my world down to this house and this neighborhood have been really good for me. I’ve done a ton of house projects, I’ve brewed a bunch of beer (and it’s been good!), and I’ve relished the occcasional opportunity to take a break from the kiddo and walk around the neighborhood during these lovely summer nights – something I wouldn’t have appreciated as much before.
Anyways, things are good and I have the pictures to prove it.
We take walks from time to time
We go to the brew shop to look for tasty grains
We try to eat pizza and he definitely gets sauce on his head
Ok sometimes we cry
But naps are the best
Never mind bath time is way better
But really it’s all about the snuggles.
