Trying to beat boredom

I've been getting really bored lately. Reed isn't crawling yet, so I spend a lot of time just laying next to him watching him play. Fun at first, but it does get old (is that bad?). I was just wondering what stay-at-home moms do all day. Not you who have 2 kids+, because I understand how busy you would be. What fun things can I do with Reed to break up the day, especially since he is still so young (I have loads of ideas when he's a little older). I try to get out of the house at least once a day, for both of our sanities, but I can't come up with too many ideas besides going on walks, running errands, and going to the park (he tried the swing for the first time recently...he doesn't like it quite yet). So any ideas?

Also, Kevin and I are bored at night. We've fallen into a routine with eating dinner, feeding the Frog, putting him to bed between 7 and 7:30pm, and then just hanging out at home until we go to bed. We are confined to our apartment since Reed is sleeping (which makes it tougher), but does anyone have any ideas for us to do at home? We might try experimenting with baking more, but what else? I do crafty things sometimes, but we're trying to figure out some more things to do together. What do you guys do when you are stuck at home?

Block Puzzles

Way easy to do: buy wood blocks from a craft store and 6 picture books (I got mine from D.I. for $0.50 each). Trace, cut, and mod podge.


(I have no idea why these pictures are turned this way...they're not when I select them. Weird).

Gosh, I love this kid

I decided I should post the latest pictures of Reed. Since he has been super fussy today, I'm hoping posting cute pictures of him will help me remember that I still love him regardless of his craziness. :) (Don't judge me...I hope I'm not the only one that sometimes feels this way).

Dancing frog

I finally figured out our video feature on our camera. The clip is short, but he does this all the time when he's happy. :) At least we caught a glimpse of it on film.

Greatest Dad Award (Again)

I got a surprise visit from my cousin, PJ, with a delivery of Dunkin' Donuts from my dad! He took a recent business trip to Tampa and picked up a dozen donuts for me! :) Most of which were vanilla cream filled--one of my very favorites! He is the best dad.
