I have to back to work 3 weeks from tomorrow. I don’t exactly expect anyone to feel sorry for me since I will have had 6 months away from work, and I am going back 3 days a week, not 5, but still. Ugh. It is hard work taking care of a baby, and there are very few breaks. It doesn’t even stop at night, and while it is getting easier and a lot more fun now that Zevry can sit up and entertain himself for 10 minutes or so, …

Zevry and I visited the largest Hindu temple outside of India today. It was stunning. No photos inside, unfortunately. It’s built with a lot of marble and stone and the carving was just beautiful. Zevry enjoyed touching the carvings – he kept running his hands over the surface and then he’d look at me and say “oooooo!” We were lucky and happened by right when they were starting a prayer ceremony. There was a lot of drum beating, incense burning, and singing and Zevry was rapt. He sat there …

Zevry has another girlfriend. Her name is Sofia (sensing a trend here?), and she is Danish. This time he was hitting on her right in front of Sophie. All the new girlfriend had to do is whisper something in Zev’s ear and he was smitten. Sigh…. Watch Sophie freak out here. Note Zevry’s self satisfied look on the video.

I received a complaint from a loyal reader that I am not blogging enough, so I thought I would update you on our latest activities. Mostly, we’re falling into a very nice little routine. Sleeping is something we are still working on with the wee one. He does a fantastic job of sleeping if we are near, but he can only do an hour or two if he is by himself, but we’re making progress. He is such a good little boy in every way that it is hard to …

This week’s swimming class was a huge success. Zevry was asleep when we arrived but he quickly woke up when he heard the pool was open! I git him dressed in his little thermal suit and we headed upstairs. We did all the same exercises as last time, but added a new one… the DUNK!!!! OOOOOO it was so scary the first time! He got this shocked look on his face. It is interesting because the way you teach them to hold their breath is to gently blow on their …

Today was Zevry’s first Baby Dolphins swimming class. It was also the first time he has been in a pool. At first he was just fine. He had on his little thermal suit and the water is heated to about 85 degrees, so there was no cold water shock or anything. We got in and he just kind of looked around, and he was very relaxed. Then the class started. The eight moms and babies all got in a circle and the instructor (Steve) held a doll baby in front …
