  I just realized that I only have 3.5 weeks of my leave left. I feel like I haven't had much time to be silly with my little man. Everyday is spent nursing him and getting him to take naps. They say they start to become more interactive around 3-4 months. That's right when I go back to work! Not fair! I gotta find a way to may these last few weeks special. Any suggestions?

  I have a little more time but I feel the same way. I was thinking this morning how I don't really enjoy spending time with LO right now. She woke up this morning and nursed. Then we played on the playmat, which was short because she was fussy so I wrapped her in a blanket and walked until she was drowsy and put her down for a nap. Then I worked out for an hour and took a shower.
  

  Things I have enjoyed:

  Taking photos and videos during the day of things we do.
  

  Having lunch with H.

  Running errands.

  Going on walks.
  

  Snuggling with her during her naps. I use the boppy to nurse her and let her fall asleep on it. I turn on netflix and just relax.

  Our kids are very close in age (both of them) haha!

  So I know what you mean! I try to get out at least once with my lil man! Like Target, a walk or the mall! I also love doing mini photo shoots with him...as much as he will tolerate which isn't too long!

  I feel the same way. I got back in a week and a half. Time has flown by. I had planned on doing so much around the house and haven't gotten to any of it. I am not complaining about that at all. I am not looking to leaving my LO.
