I'm a little late with the post this week, we went on a quick vacation with friends this past weekend and I guess I have been in vacation mode! We have had uncannilly beautiful weather for December, with temperatures in the mid-seventies. We swam, walked and vacated in Hilton Head (just 45 minutes away) and came back a little refreshed. Lane had some pool time, some beach time, and was happy to be passed around between friends. It is nice being the first to have a baby - everyone is still interested and wants to help.

| Mommy baby time on the beach |
This baby is growing up faster than I can process the changes. Each week brings new sounds, new frustrations and new awarenesses. She goes 100 miles an hour all the time (no idea where she gets that from - she may look like me but this is Daddy's baby). We had lunch today with my doula and a client of hers and her baby boy. He peacefully sat in mommy's lap while Lane climbed my chest, squeeled and chewed on everything. I hope they did not judge my mothering as I handed her everything from sugar packets to a wipe dispenser to keep her occupied. I know I should want her to be mobile, but I think I get what that will be like, and I am not ready.

This week I am preparing for a visit with a representative from the Georgia Department of Transportation who is coming to visit my office as a part of their certification process for landscape architects. When she informed me of the home visit required, I mentioned that she will be visiting my home office....complete with my two barking coworkers...she said she's sure she's seen worse.

Good luck with the DOT meeting!!! That process can't be fun to go through.
