We’ve been having a lot of fun with this little 5 month old. It feels like she’s doubling in size every couple of days. We finally got a chance to weigh her the other day at my parents and she was 17 pounds! For some reason I thought that she’d hover around 13 or 14 pounds and just be a little petite baby for forever, but here we are. 66th percentile apparently. We built her crib a couple days ago and placed it in the nook and she’s getting used to it and sleeping more regularly, so that’s been pretty nice, though it’s still a work in progress.

School starts in 1 month. Things are getting real. I’ve got my textbook list and everything. It’s still hard to mentally grasp that I’m taking such a 180 degree turn in my life and career, but there have been surprisingly few doubts and moments of regret, that’d I’d normally expect doing something like this. If you would’ve told me that I would have a baby, buy a new car (new to us), quit my job, and go back to school, then I probably would of unfriended you on Facebook. But here we are…

We are really enjoying lockdown life. It’s hard not connecting with as many people, but the slower pace, and freedom with our time is pretty amazing. We’re facetiming daily with family, and eating inexpensively, and not spending a single dime on anything outside of the basics. Going on lots of walks, the weather has been unbelievable, It all feels really good! I’ve been spending a lot of time building a new website for my dad at www.jondelton.com. It’s worth checking out. We’ve compiled all of my great grandpas poems, as well as my dads ‘gems’. 

Life is really really good. We just wish we could freeze time and spend it with Rosie at this age.
