New connections

I think it is so cool and so funny how once you have a kid everyone else with a kid will come up and talk to you. It's such a change in social dynamic. I can get advice or smiles from anyone now. When we were at Venice beach a couple purposely swerved through the crowd to talk to my mom in law and I to compare notes on babies. They have an 8 month old girl. She weighs about the same as Kaden but looked a lot smaller. Kaden is our chunk. :) Everywhere we go people tell me he is beautiful and we meet others with babies of a similar age. Biased Mother that I am I agree that my baby is beautiful and usually silently think that he is cuter than the other baby I am meeting. I am enjoying the new reason for social interaction. Especially since other reasons for social interaction i.e. work or school are no longer a part of my life. I need to take some baby and mommy classes.... we'll see.
Kaden is fun. All he wants to do is jump up and down in our laps. Mentally I think he is running around the room. Physically he is just starting to grab his feet. He is mentally way ahead of himself. He is fun to watch catch up. We clap for him when he rolls over and then sometimes he will forget to grumble at us for putting him on his tummy. He is growing up way too fast.
Their may be job news for Matt tomorrow... We are excited and nervous about the opportunity. It will put us on a tight budget but give us the benefits that we need.... Also Matt will get more of the kind of work experience that he wants... so.... I will update when things are for sure...
