Married with a new baby. I'm trying to figure out this whole parenthood thing and still find time for the things I love like food, wine, our big furry mutt and lazy days. We live near San Francisco and I can't imagine calling anywhere else home although I miss spring and thunderstorms in Chapel hill on a regular basis.

Miles is on day 2 of refusing his morning nap. We have tried twice this morning and both times have been a complete failure. Yesterday he was such a disaster by 4pm that I wanted to put him to bed for a late nap. I didn’t because I knew it would screw things up for bedtime but I just didn’t think I could handle the tantrums. This afternoon I’m having my MIL watch him so I can get the house clean for his birthday but all I care about is that if he has another complete meltdown, I’m not the one who has to deal with it.

I liked it better when Miles couldn’t sit or stand on his own. Now I put him down for a nap and he doesn’t even lay down. How am I supposed to get him to take a nap when he uses the crib as a jungle gym?

ETA: He is now in there calling for me. “Mama, Mama” How the hell am I supposed to resist that?

It doesn’t matter how late I go to bed, Miles is still up at 5am. I should really keep coffee in the house because despite what my son may think, 5am is not an acceptable time to be up on a Sunday morning.
