Struggling to Keep Up!

I am struggling to find time for the "extra" stuff these days. As most of you know, Beck and I are very fortunate to be able to both spend a couple of days a week with Charlie, on our own... and we're both able to dedicate specific days for our work.

The thing is, when do you do the "extra" stuff?

Charlie has spent the last 5 weeks in over-drive developmentally. She started to crawl at the beginning of June, and it's been a race ever since.

First the crawling was very difficult for her, and she became dedicated to getting it down. Then, Daddy propped her up against a laundry basket so she could learn to kneel and that's all she wanted to do... then it was hanging onto the same basket while she stood.

Now of course... only 5 weeks later she has mastered kneeling (whether she has to pull herself up or not), and she is working herself silly trying to pull herself to a standing position. She is so determined it's funny!

With all this going on, we are finding it very difficult to keep up.

I should be working on a video edit right now, but Charlie is sleeping in her swing, and I need to add music to the project. I have to hear it, so I have to wait until later tonight.

My point here is this: We're really enjoying ourselves. Everyone has constantly said, "enjoy this time, enjoy this time," since Charlie was born. We've taken the advice.

So I'd like to apologize for not being very timely with video and blogging over the last few weeks. Quite frankly, by the time our day is over, Beck and I have been crashing at 9:00 or 10:00pm.

I am on final edits for "Charlie Learns to Crawl - Part 2". I probably should have given away so much here, but for those of you who regularly read my blog, you deserve an "inside scoop"!!
