It's a slow day . . .

You know when you turn on the news and there is a cutesie story about mating penguins or something and you are just like, "I guess it was a slow day for news?". That has pretty much been my life the last week or so. Here are the latest headlines:

*I was driving to an appointment in the suburbs recently on a sunny, warm day. There were tons of people out and about. I was driving by a large park, full of people, and two huge deer were just running and leaping around the sidewalk near the road. I of course got freaked out, and I was suddenly the deer in headlights as these two deer played around seemingly oblivious to me, the other cars, tons of pedestrians, and the hoards of teenagers capturing the moment on their iPhones. It was full on crazy.

*And not wanting to let down my brother, who now refers to my blog as "baby blog" (guilty as charged), Jacob is totally army crawling all around. He has become pretty mobile, which is both exciting and sad. Great that he is growing and moving and learning and healthy . . . Sad for me who now has to chase him.

*Every baby store retailer within a 5 mile radius knows Jacob and I by name. They wave to me from the window of the store as we pass by . . . and then stop in. We go on a lot of walks, and I can't help it that almost every possible path we may take is lined with shops that call to me. Ok, fine, sale racks that call me. One of the workers in BabyGap said: "It has been so much fun to watch him grow". Awesome.

*I've hit a plateau of sorts in my health goals. Time to really step it up. I'm making a goal chart and everything.

*I now officially have 5, and possibly 6, piano students. It's a good stay-at-home-mom gig so far. I really love it and my students are adorable and talented. I am so glad that my mom convinced/made me stick with piano, and that we inherited a free piano from my aunt. Nice.

Bored? You were warned. I told you it was a slow day . . .
