Big changes

Today (Friday) is my last day at work for more than a month. Amanda will be returning to work Monday, and I'll start staying home to take care of Nathaniel full time. That should be interesting.

I'm really looking forward to this alot. Nathaniel is really starting to develop into someone with a distinct personality. He reacts to his surroundings, he's sort of smiling and sort of laughing and sort of making vowel and some consanant sounds. It's amazing to see, and I'm excited about getting to see it for more than a couple of hours per day.

Amanda, of course, is sad about going back to work and missing Nathaniel each day. I can understand that, having gone through it myself just a few weeks ago. But I've told Amanda I'll be sending hourly photos to her in the first days so she can see what he's up to and how he looks. Hopefully, that will ease the strain a little.

I can't wait to get to do this!
