Mommy, Baby, and Friends.

     So, things have been a little sedentary around here lately. Well until last week. Haley was pretty sick so we ended up taking her to the doctors. Turns out she has allergies and got a bronchial infection from them. All I know is that I want to find out who came up with the idea that we should give all medicines to infants via medicine spoons, and have a serious chat with the guy. Further, why did I not think to use the dropper instead of the spoon earlier than I did? Anyway, after a few days of meds (and cursing said guy), she is starting to feel much better.
     Also, Haley is finally crawling! I have been waiting for her to finally get it, and after about a month or so of almost crawling, she finally started crawling! We have been really excited. I have to say, it's pretty cool to watch her learn the art of movment. You don't really ever think of movement as something you have to learn, it's sort of one of those thing we take for granted, most of us, anyway.
     Further, Hal and I have made friends! We started hanging out with a friend of mine who I have known for a long time. I hadn't really talk to her since we were in Junior High, but then all of a sudden, thanks to Facebook, we started talking. Turns out she has a son one month younger than Haley, and is also a stay at home mommy! Who would have thought!? So there areeeee more of us out there... Needless to say, things have been going a lot smoother for me personally having someone around who is in the same boat (or baby tub), so to speak.
     I am definitely encouraging everyone out there, SAHM, or not, to try to link up with some other mommies who have kids the same age. I underestimated the effect of common ground and friendship on stress. Anyway, I am going to go ahead and sell out to "the man" and recommend my favorite Haley toy on here and link to Amazon. Personally, it doesn't matter to me if you buy or not, I'm just sharing with you some of the things that make my life a little easier.
