I&#8217;m not going to say time flies because it didn&#8217;t&#8230;it&#8217;s been really hard! But I love him. His little smile lights up my world. His giggle is music to my ears.  His tears almost make my heart stop. He&#8217;s scooting around in his walker, not yet even able to crawl. He just started eating solid food. He&#8217;s been wanting it so badly! He watches Chris and I eat and we can see his tongue go in and out of his mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;m not really training. \ud83d\ude41 It sucks. I&#8217;m not really able to do anything I like. Emotionally, I&#8217;ve been better. I don&#8217;t feel like myself. I miss my best friend. I played Baldur&#8217;s Gate for the first time in months a few weeks ago when I got caught up on housework. I&#8217;m almost done! <br>I have child-raising books I&#8217;m supposed to read. I&#8217;m trying to unhook myself from social media after I found evidence it hurts your brain and messes with your concentration. I can&#8217;t hold a book in one hand and nurse, though, so I think I had a relapse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I started teaching jiujitsu at Tribe once a week. That&#8217;s been really nice. I&#8217;m so rusty&#8230;that&#8217;s been so great. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We tiled our house floors. We are building a shed in our back yard to train. I don&#8217;t really like training at home but whatever, I guess I&#8217;ll learn to like it. Life changes. I&#8217;m trying to deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Baby is near the end of his nap so I&#8217;m rushing this entry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We started feeding him solid food last week! It&#8217;s so fun and entertaining to watch him experience food! He grabs the spoon or deflects it, making a mess. I think I&#8217;m doing a decent job of being a mom so far. I just read a quote on Facebook: &#8220;You have someone&#8217;s childhood in your hands and there&#8217;s no redo.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_8102-rotated.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"1360\" src=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_8102-1020x1360.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9975\" style=\"width:614px;height:auto\" srcset=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_8102-1020x1360.jpg 1020w, http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_8102-632x843.jpg 632w, http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_8102-768x1024.jpg 768w, http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_8102-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_8102-rotated.jpg 1512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maximus just turned six months old!
