I, like most first time mothers, to be thought maternity leave would not only be a great time to bond with our new baby but I also thought (being the productive aka multi tasker that I am) I would be able to get all kinds of things accomplished that had been on my 'house to do list' while the baby was sleeping. I quickly learned that while babies do sleep all time, I had to sleep too. Or, he would only sleep for a few minutes. So the long and short of it is that I learned to take multitasking to a new level. Bobby and I laugh about one time in particular when I was nursing Owen, uploading pictures on my computer (probably of Owen) and playing fetch with Izzy. What can I say - I felt like wonder woman! (for any future mamas out there - don't mean to scare you with this, Owen is now on much more of a schedule and I can do important things like update my blog while he snoozes)
So, when I saw Owen the other day, I learned he might have my multitasking personality. I am including the video. Bobby is supporting him while he is 'standing' (one of his favorite activities - which he always takes very seriously and you can tell by the focused look on his face) in front of the mirror. Then the multi taking started - he began smiling, while looking in the mirror while standing! 3 activities all at once! Anyway, check it out.....
