Spreading Out

Yes life is about spreading out these days.

Baby is starting to be more mobile which means it's a whole new game now folks with a whole new set of rules. And just when we were settling into a routine, life just mixes it up again.

So he's almost 7 months and he's on the cusp of crawling. He wants to, but can't quite coordinate himself to do it just yet, so he squirms around. This means its about that time for the hubby and me to join the "no-coffee-table" club. Yup, we're ready to clear away our beloved coffee table for now so that baby has ample room to squirm around. That, and we need to purchase a new baby-friendly area rug so baby has some fresh, clean cushy, comfy support down there. (We have hardwood floors - ouch!)

We're also "thinking" about transforming our dining room into his play room. Let me rephrase that. I have decided to...the hubby is still "thinking" about it.

So as our cute little modern house slowly transforms into a jungle gym, our little one waits for no one. He's growing up so fast, it's not even funny. Too fast, which means, play areas in the house aren't the only things spreading out lately.

Did I mention bed hogs? Yes, plural! We have a king, let me repeat a KING size bed. And baby does sleep with us. But lets put this into perspective. I'm a tiny gal. Baby's a big, but still small baby, and then there's the hubby. You would think there would be more than enough room on our huge bed for all 3 of us. WRONG! I already had to deal with the hubby being a space hog, but like father, like son! He's far outgrown his snuggle-nest, so there's nothing holding him back. We all go to sleep forming three parallel lines, simple enough right? But we wake up, forming an "H" - yes and baby is the perpendicular one. The hubby has 50% of the bed space. Leaving baby and me the other half, and then of that half, baby takes up 75% of that, so I'm left with a sliver.

Yes, we're all spreading out these days, though sometimes I think I'm spread too thin! Still, I wouldn't have it any other way.
