Sleep wonderful sleep

We are on the brink of a new year for Henry. I just can't believe that my little man is almost a year old. There I said it, the one sentence that every mom in the world says about their child. Oh yeah, and "Time goes so fast doesn't it?" Well it does! I'd be lying if I didn't admit to getting a little choked up almost everynight as I sit and read to Henry. He's just gotten so big, so much more independent so much more awesome (I know real eloquent) but he is awesome. He is jetting around the house and after the cats like nobody's business. He is problem solving and by that I don't mean math problems, more along the line of "Hey I want to sit on the ground and eat that toy, but it is up on the couch, how do I make this work for me" Kind of stuff.
So besides those sorts of advancements, I would like to proudly announce that I slept 6 hours straight the other night and that is officially considered sleeping through the night! We've had our ups and downs with sleeping in this house but it looks like Henry has turned a corner and is much more accepting of his crib, his sleep and most importantly mine and John's sleep. I know as a parent sleep will never ever be the same as it was, at least not for a very long time, but I am so happy with where we are now. I actually woke up the other day, before Henry, and thought...I think I got enough sleep last night. And that is something!
We are in the midst of preparing for Henry's first birthday party, which his Tia,aka Carrie, has offered to host at her lovely casa de La grange. Anyone out there who is interested in a bbq at the Biskups, let me know. We're partying on the 22nd of May so if you're free let me know.
I'm in the middle of the spring quarter with school and can't wait for it to be over because my brain is a little on the fried side of things these days. Work has been nuts but it looks like I might be transferring to a new dept which is exciting. There is an opening in floral which as many of you know is my specialty so I'm looking forward to seeing a different side of the business. Well Henry is done with his kiwi and would like to be entertained so I'd better be getting to it.
