On the move...

Gage is just about ready to start crawling. He's got the idea, now he just needs to figure out how to apply it! Right now he's in the "Army Crawl" stage, it's sooo cute! I take all the videos I can, whenever I can, because Im at work alot. I love to sit on my breaks and watch them on my camera... For some reason it makes me miss him less when I'm gone =)


Lately, I've been realizing how much I work and how little I get to see him while he's awake. It's starting to get to me a little. I remember my Mom being home with us all the time when we were kids and how great that felt to always have her there. I know Gage won't think twice about it, hopefully, but it's killing me to miss these precious moments with him. And i've recently came to terms with the fact that there's a chance I'll miss his first crawl, walk, and even words..


Every day I drive to work, I have to tell myself over and over again that I'm doing the right thing, i'm providing a life for him... A life where we wont struggle, where we can live in a safe neighborhood, and take family vacations (all of the things my parents gave to me). I've been reading "Chicken Soup For The Working Mom's Soul" and it's been a life-saver! It's good to know that every working Mom has this mental battle, not just me. Anyways, Here's a short video of his army crawl a picture of him sitting up all by himself! =)

Johnny Jump-up...

Grandma and Grandpa Richeson set up Gage's Johnny Jump-Up the other day. He seems to like it just fine. He doesnt quite jump, but he twirls around and makes goofy noises... Which is entertaining enough. =]
