It's been weeks since I posted - with good reason.
Lucas has started walking and for all the parents that read this blog, you'll know that means that I've started running.
New things are within reach. A new level of baby proofing, or should I say toddler proofing has begun. I can no longer safely type while he plays a few feet away.
He's also stronger, being able to lift items that should remain on the ground. Lucas is like He-Man. I just realized he won't know who He-Man is.
When he strings a series of steps together, tears come to my eyes. Tears of joy for the newest accomplishment and tears of sadness for my boy who is growing up. I realize that he isn't the baby I could snuggle in the crook of my arm, he's a big boy who walks and feeds himself. With a fork and spoon.
But he hasn't outgrown everything. He still likes his special good night song with a cuddle from Mommy. And hopefully that won't change anytime soon.

I had a baby - 9 months ago!
My son Lucas has been out as long as he was in. And I survived. So far.
Before he arrived, I contemplated starting a blog that I could update when he napped or as he played, as this motherhood thing was going to be a breeze.
Fast forward nine months and here I am, finally getting this blog started. Mostly as an outlet for me to write and reach the outside world, but hopefully along the way, other moms that are out there will enjoy the misadventures of this modern mom.
A good friend of mine just had her first baby a month ago and as I held her little bundle, it was hard to believe that Lucas was that small. I found a newborn diaper buried in his cupboard and have packed away all his newborn clothes - and I was sad. He will never be that small again (well, really at 9 lbs. 1 oz. he was never really THAT small). Was I crazy to miss those days when we never slept, he was always nursing and couldn't focus his eyes on my face?
These nine months have gone by so slowly and so fast all at the same time. Those really rough days where I watch the minutes pass until my husband comes home to relieve me and the days where I turn around and it's already dinner and bedtime for my little man. Most of the time it feels like trying to catch lightning in a bottle.
So, rather than reliving my life over the past several months, I hope to focus on Lucas' transition from baby to boy and my inevitable return to work in a few months.
