November!? where did the time go??

So i am procrastinating... I was just talking to my friend Ian and he told me we had not made an entry on this blog since JULY! Things have been a little chaotic since then, but that's no excuse. Things have been moving along. Naiya is now 4.5months and is growing rapidly. She started to try to feed herself the other day, but ended up with a giant peas explosion... turns out patience is required when feeding a baby since only about 1/3 of the food actually gets into the baby.
Winter is springing up slowly. It snowed here about three weeks ago but that all melted away, and now it seems like fall is slowly going away and winter is creeping in. I realized that I do not mind the cold at all. What really takes a toll on me is the lack of sun - right now the sun is rising at 7:34 AM and setting at 5:00 PM. In a week the sun will be rising 10mins later and setting 10mins earlier!! in ONE week! Losing 20mins of sunshine is a lot, considering we got at least 7 weeks to go until the shortest day of the year. This season I thought ahead and got some vitamin D pills, hope they do the trick to keep my energy high... I sure hope they work, specially when Naiya decides to wake up every 3 hrs at night.

  1. I get the same thing in the winter. Vitamin D has helped a little I think. I'm looking into those "sunrise" type lamps because the lack of sun drives me crazy. It's dark when we go to bed and dark when we wake up.

    It just seems so wrong to be waking up when you can still see the moon and all the street lights are still on.

  2. Yeah same here. I showed Pto a tanning bed.. for a once in a while pick me up they are amazing.I keep looking for those light bulbs of natural light but so far i can only find them in tubes. we ahve them at work (tubes) they call them full spectrum sunlight lamps. they are used to grow plants and such but can be used for light therapy
