Well I have been back to work for about 2 1/2 weeks now and it is going much smoother. The first week was rough but now I seem to be getting the hang of it. It also really helps that Dan's folks watch Sam 2 days a week. Those are my days that I get so much done at work and after work as I get to run a few errands, work out etc...Really not sure what we would do without there amazing help and support as well as my folks support who have dropped everything and helped us out in a pinch which is amazing. We feel very lucky to have both sets of folks so close.
Also we have had a few funny moments with Sam. One night I was getting Sam ready for bed and I handed her off to Dan for her last bottle of the night and he was like did you notice anything funny? I said no....Why what is wrong? he was like she can't even bend her legs these pajamas are entirely too tight...I am not sure why I didn't notice so back to her room we all went and the next pair we got on her had a funny collar on it but it really seemed to bother us from a safety perspetive so we got those off of her and put on her third pair of the night and finally were satisifed with how they fit. The reason this is so funny and frustrating at the same time is in case you don't know babies don't stay still and there arelike 20 buttons on each pair so it is always such a accomplishment when you do finally get them dressed and to have to do it 3 times in a row is a tad of a whip...
Also Sam has started laughing. she only does it at A) me when I make really funny faces or dance for her B) her daddy when he acts like a complete goofball and c) when Chewy falls off the couch...That one really got her... She is very picky about who she laughs for but i am sure she will do it more often soon enough.
Sam rolled over last week 3 times in one day for grandma and grandpa and hasn't done it since..We have tried to help her and show her how to do it with Dan and I laying on the floor and rolling over repeatedly but to no avail. I am sure she will do it again when she is good and ready.
She got her first cold over the holiday weekend but still was pretty happy baby. I was very proud of myself that i didn't call the doctor several times but really she never had a fever and seemed still pretty happy with snot runnign down her face...I know nice visual...
However she has had a rash on the side of her face for a week or so now so I am taking her to see our favorite pediatrician this afternoon to see about that. I am pretty sure it will be nothing but again better to be safe then sorry.
I just realized I have been a total slacker with pictures and only had 2 new ones...Here they are these are from lunch over the weekend at Chipotle..She was such a trooper but she did not want to burp.
