One Handed Assembly

We've settled into a morning routine that's quite changed from the pre-baby times. Wherease Jfer would invariably rise before me (and sometimes leave for workeout before I got out of bed), the roles have changed quite a bit.

These days, when I get up, I let Homer out and start up the microwave to sterilize Jfer's pump and bottles. The sterilizer, which Jfer initially scoffed at, is a brilliant device and a huge time saver.

I then check me email, or whatever, and ten minutes later feed Homer and assemble the pump (another very well designed product from Avent) which hopefully by then has cooled down to a bearable temperature. I'm getting pretty good at this, and could probably do it blind-folded by now.

This morning, Jfer handed me Magda so she could take a shower. I went through my assembly process while holding her on my right arm (which, as she keeps growing, is likely to develop an asymetric huge biceps). No problem whatsoever, thank-you-very-much! Steaming bowl and all. Magda was enjoying watching the whole process and didn't even try to nurse off me (she starting to learn the futility of that).

To my surprise, I don't actually mind getting up before them and watching them sleep in. I do miss those morning walks with Homer, which he nows enjoys a later in the day with just Jennifer and Magda.
