Weekend reads and six months old...
Little Reader/Unabridged Baby turned six months earlier this week.
Six months!
I can't believe it.
What can I say about the experience that countless others haven't already said? It's been amazing. And so trying. Daunting. Beautiful.
He monopolizes my every thought, although I'm not sure that's a good thing always -- as I've mentioned a little in previous updates, I think I've got a touch of post-partum depression as I'm tending toward more worrying than normal.
However, I've gotten back into my knitting, which I was just wild about while pregnant. It's an especially satisfying hobby at the moment as it relaxes me and provides something tangible and useful at the end. As we're cloth diapering, I'm mostly making piles of soakers, longies, and other wool coverings (my most recent endeavor: wool shorts!).
I'm still reading, although very slowly as I still can't bring myself to stay up at night to read. So I read on my commute and when I can while pumping. I miss it, glutting myself on books, but I keep telling myself I'll back to that soon enough. When the baby stops keeping me up all the time!

My weekend read is finishing up Donna Thorland's super fun Mistress Firebrand. I started it in February but got woefully behind on reading once I went back to work.
I'm late on reviewing this one, as usual; I've gotten so bad at reviewing anywhere close to on time that I've stopped joining blog tours at the moment, which I have mixed feelings about!
What are you reading this weekend?
