A Natural Family

So, we are settling into our new routine. All the laundry and unpacking from Arkansas is done. Our friend K has moved in with us for the school year which prompted me to do some reorganization. A very good thing. Peanut is growing like a weed. He now weighs just over 15 pounds and can no longer wear the 0-3 month clothes we brought him home in.

J is teaching two classes this fall (one at Rutgers, one at Rider University), writing his dissertation, attending one conference, and presenting at another, all while applying for academic jobs for Fall 2009. Yikes. He is one busy dude. I am learning to enjoy my time at home, taking care of the little man. I go back to work on October 20th (in office two days per week, on-call at home one weekend day per week).

Peanut is in cloth diapers most of the time now (bumgenius) which is pretty cool. AND--I made his baby food for the week. Peas, peaches, and acorn squash. Throw in a little rice cereal and applesauce and we're set!

We have our last Dr. Aronson appointment next week which is both happy and sad (because we LOVE her). So, there'll probably be more stats then.

Until next time--enjoy the new fall TV seasons :)

For those of you who didn't tune into the new 90210 premier, one of the main characters is... you guessed it... a transracial adoptee. He stated that he felt weird about moving to a new place because he didn't want to tell his adoption story again. Apparently he was adopted 8 years prior. I'd guess domestically.

Very interesting.
