Rainy [Lazy] Day

It's raining today, and that means I get to be lazy and hang out at home with my little man. One of the perks to being a stay-at-home-mommy is that I can decide things like that, and don't have to drag Joaquin all over town when it's crappy outside. Wait... Did I just say "stay-at-home-mommy"?? Yep, you read that right! The company that I was working for (Ecast) closed it's doors in March and since then I have enjoyed my new role as full time Mom. Although I must admit, I am getting a chance to sneak out of the house one day a week (5hrs) to work in the "real world".

Being a SAHM is harder than it looks, but at the same time I'm not going nearly as crazy as I thought I would be. We've managed to keep pretty busy and it's nice to be able to schedule things around my baby rather than the other way around. Not to say I don't want to someday go back to work full time, but for now I'm happy just watching this little guy grow from day to day.

In other news, Joaquin is growing waaay to fast! He's already 16 months, running around, starting to talk, have his own ideas and opinions, not to mention out growing all of his 18 month clothes! When I go out with him people always ask how old he is, and before I can answer they guess that he's 2 or 3. YIKES! I love that he is a tall, healthy boy but can't he just stay my tiny little baby a while longer?? Before I know it he will be running outside on rainy days, jumping in puddles and drinking hot chocolate. But who am I kidding, I'm so looking forward to those days :)
