Since the birth of my son, about seven weeks ago, I have had difficulties on finding the time and energy. I haven't entirely stopped listening podcasts on my languages but meeting people to speak with and especially reading has suffered.

It's not a crisis really but this time doesn't lend it self for language studies as good as the time before fatherhood.

Couldn't have a much better excuse than that. Go easy on yourself, you're right to focus your energy on giving him a strong start!

Although while you're taking care of him, you do have a captive audience for a bit of speaking practice, lol. I'm sure he won't mind if you make mistakes.
