The Williamson Pack: A one month old and a 28 year old

Rohn is now 1 month old! I can't believe it's already been a month. He has grown a lot. He is starting to stay awake longer and enjoy his time awake better (i.e. he doesn't scream the entire time).

Keegan absolutely loves being a big brother. Everytime Rohn cries, Keegan comes over and gives him a kiss and, more often than not, Rohn stops crying and looks at Keegan. When Rohn and I go pick Keegan up from daycare, the first thing (as usual) he says is "MOMMY'S HERE!" followed very quickly by "Go see baby brother!" and he runs over to him.

I have a week and a half left on my maternity leave and I'm getting quite nervous to returning to normal life. Everything's been quite managable while I've been home taking care of Rohn, resting and doing chores when I can and Cobey not having to work overtime. But soon it will get truly crazy around here. We'll both be back to work, sleep deprived and fire season is arriving fast. OI!

In other news, it was my birthday on Wednesday and it was easily one of the best birthday's ever. First, Cobey and Keegan stayed home for the day. Cobey let me sleep in and made me breakfast. When I got up, very refreshed and rested, Keegan (with no coaching by Cobey, except for telling him it was mommy's birthday) came over and stacked 7 column blocks next to me. Sang "Happy birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you" and blew out the "candles" (the columns). Cobey said get ready to go for my surprise. I put on a new dress that I got from Cobey while I was pregnant (but couldn't wear it then). I didn't know what the surprise was until I walked into the building (and even then it took me a few seconds to figure it out)....he got me an hour massage!!! I do have to say I think I did a pretty good job of just going along with it. Just ask Cobey, I'm horrible with surprises; I'm always trying to figure it out and that usual ends up ruining it. It was my first one and it was great and VERY much needed. He took the two boys down the park and I got to relax and enjoy! Then, that evening, he sent me out the door to hang out with some of my girl friends, Lisa and Alex, for dinner and dessert! Then we returned to Lisa's house, where Cobey and Lisa's husband, Jake, were hanging out with the five boys (our two and their three)!!! We finished the great day with a couple episodes of Battlestar Galactica!!! Thanks Cobey and friends for a great birthday!
