Sorry it’s been so long since I’ve posted.  The past month has been rather difficult for me, but I am thankful for such a wonderfully supportive husband!  Joseph is talking more and discovering more sounds and reaching for things with much more precision.  He’s about to reach the chord to the light above the changing table, so Daddy watch out!  Today he rolled over from his back to his tummy for the first time.  He’s been rolling onto his side for a while, but this morning he grabbed my sweater to help him over the hump to make it all the way.  There are more videos and pictures up since I last blogged.  Today Grossmutti came over and took Joseph for a long walk and I allowed myself to have no responsibility for an hour.  The dishes sat in the sink, the laundry stayed in piles, the computer was off, Little Precious couldn’t interrupt me, and I didn’t even pressure myself about falling asleep.  It was amazing how much better I felt after that hour of rest.  Everyone tells me to rest, and even though I’ve let a lot of things slide and just do the minimum of housework, I’ve been thinking that means sleep and have been go, go, go (at least mentally, if not productively) until I crash in bed.  There really is something to this ‘rest’ thing and I’m very grateful to Grossmutti for giving me the chance to try it out!
