Will is 7 Weeks Old

The Highlights according to Baby Center dot com:
Reaching out
Learning begins now
Eyes can track objects
Remember, your baby is an individual

Will is reaching out and tracking objects. We have noticed he has more alert times where he is observing us and the rest of the world.

He has some new sounds that he makes. He said something that sounded like “ha ha” tonight. He also started grabbing my hair. I wondered when that would begin.

Here are some other things that one can “expect” from a 7 week old.

I love Will! He is so adorable!

This week dad took over with bath time. My friend Dulcinea pointed me to an article that talks about the wonderful benefits of dad bathing baby.

She also send me this one to help me article cope with exhaustion:

Get some sleep lady!
….speaking of sleep. Here I go.

Yoga Teacher Training

I am in the midst of a search of where and who with to take yoga teacher training. I want to begin as soon as possible with a 200 hour intensive to get things started. That way I will get the credentials in the least amount of time. The clock is ticking. I need a way to generate an income so that I don’t have to get a job that takes me away from baby for 40 hours a week.

With the time crunch there are a few drawbacks. I won’t get to take in the curriculum at a slower rate and take classes in between sessions. I think this is a great way to learn. One can absorb the material with thoughtfulness. What I mean is that there is more time to ponder what has been learned and to integrate it into everyday life and yoga practice. One can also compare and contrast what is learned in yoga classes taken in between training sessions. Then there is the opportunity to assist classes which offers another venue for learning.

The intenisves have bonuses too. Quick. Cheaper. Less time spent on extra stuff.
Regardless I plan to keep learning by taking other courses like Pre & Postnatal Yoga Training, etc.

So I am looking into what is available in the Bay Area. Preferably in Berkeley or somewhere closer to me. I am also looking at what possibilities exist in studying with teacher that have particularly moved and inspired me like Diego del Sol, Dina Amsterdam, Amanda Moran, and Pete Chandonnet.

So, the search goes on. I can’t wait to get training.
