Visiting

My brother and SIL are here for the week and I love having them around. We haven't done anything - literally nothing - since they got here besides entertain Mr. M. When he sleeps, we talk as adults. Otherwise, most of our attempts at conversation are interrupted by comments on Teo's behavior at the moment ("He can't get his fist in his mouth." "Look at how his eyes are trying to focus while we spin." "I think he just pooped." and so forth). They are both adorable with him and my brother has become an expert spinner (Teo likes to spin). Good times, all around.

Yesterday it was just too unbearably hot to go out around town, but today they are taking advantage of the momentary cooling to check out the Louvre, as my SIL has never been. At some point this week, they may visit a chateau. Otherwise, the remaining plan is to hang with the little man.

I've got some administrative crap to take care of because I realized the secu skipped -- straight up just SKIPPED -- one of my maternity leave payments. I am usually a pretty bad budgeter but this month seemed way out of control. Now I know why. So I need to find out what's up on that front, as well as make a doctor's appointment for Mr. T for his two month visit. BIG BOY! I also have to get myself to the doctor for my post-partum visit.

In the meantime... here's Teo in his activity gym. I call it "brand new" in the video, but it was the product responsible for the major find I had last week. It's used but in awesome condition.... couldn't be happier with my purchase, and Mateo seems to approve as well. At any rate, he developed some new motor skills so here they are on film:
