01/19/2004: "Mr. Mom for a month"

I'm starting my second of four weeks as Mr. Mom as my wife Marisa works full time for a month. Her schedule usually has her home with Lily two or three days of the week. The first few days were a little rough last week as Lily wasn't quite used to being without Mommy for the whole day, but she got used to it just in time for the weekend. Now we start over (Marisa is an elementary school teacher, so she had today off). It's been fun bonding with the little munchkin all day, and after spending the whole week with her, I missed her more than usual when I had to go get some work done on the weekend. That little thing is do damned cute, I just can't stand it sometimes. She is 15 months old and loves to walk by dragging you around my the fingers. She's a little slower than her two friends at walking by herself, but she looks like she'll take off soon. I keep hearing people say that I'll regret the day she can walk. They say she'll be able to get into everything. Well, she already does now, she just crawls to where stuff is and stands up to grab it. I'll just be happy not to have to carry her everywhere. The only thing I'm dreading is the "face plant" Ouch!
Oh...a picture. Here's one of my all time faves from when Lily was only 24 days old.

My baby niece truly is the most perfect thing on this planet. I can only commend you for producing such a glorious child. Someday, there will be songs written about her, extoling her beauty and amazing intellect. Hot dog...I can't wait.
