Some Firsts

FIRST DAY WITHOUT MOMMY: January 17th was Anita's first day back at work. It was really sad to drive away with an empty car seat, and even sadder to be without Mateo for 6 hours. Both mom and baby are having some tough adjustment time, but love it when they are reunited.

FIRST MOVIE: Last weekend, we took Mateo to see The Business of Being Born. Although we generally try not to expose him to TV and movies, this was a documentary about birth, so we figured it couldn't be too damaging. It's a great film about the birth industry and very pro-midwife and natural childbirth, so we encourage folks to see it. Mateo loved listening to the "experts" interviewed and watching the babies.

FIRST ILLNESS: Mateo has his first cold, complete with runny nose, drippy eyes, mild fever and nasty cough. Although he is a little subdued and sleepy, he is still his cheery self. We are just grateful that he didn't catch the awful stomach flu his mom had. Hopefully he will be in tip top shape soon.
