Oh my, I'm getting so bad at updating, my apologies. Where does the time go? Am I now suddenly living in a vaccuum? This parenthood thing, it's insanity. The time just goes away... a then before you know it your newborn is 3 months old and huge! Ella is growing like a weed as they say (though it seems something like "growing like a flower" would be prettier...) and is thriving! She has been doing all the great things that babies should do at this early age, which is really only exciting to the parent. truth be told, no one else really gets worked up over your kid cracking a smile for 3.4 seconds, or holding her head up off the ground, or sleeping more than 3 hours at a time... but as her mom I most CERTAINLY appreciate all of the new little things that keep happening with increasing frequency day by day (especially the sleeping part...). I must admit I am finding myself conflicted, as I love the little babiness of her, but am also excited for all the good stuff coming up... the babbling, the eating 'real' food, the sitting up and crawling, and the sleeping through the night! This whole infancy thisng is hard work, but I try to remind myself at 3am each day that there will come a time someday that I will miss this part, and so it's all just fine for now. We were actually falling into a pretty good schedule, but the I went and messed it all up by heading back to work last week, and Ella decided she was not onboard with that decision. Sleeping was messed up, eating was messed up, but we are working our way through the transition period and I think making some headway. Ella's got a nanny named Olivia who started with us last week, and has been doing great with her so far, and has been staying the course through this transition time despite Ella's occasional grumpiness. We are so blessed to have found reliable childcare that we can trust and feel good about each day, as I don't think there is anything as hard as starting to leave your own child with someone else when they are still so small.
Anywho... here are some pics from yesterday... i TRIED so HARD to get some smiling pics, but it seems that by the time the camera actually 'clicks' ... the smile is gone and has turned immediately to fascination with "what the heck is that flashing silver thing in front of me??" Oh well... just another fun thing to look forward to ... a baby that follows commands! (Yeaah, I know, it probably never happens...). I swear (like I always do) that I'll try to update again soon.
Also, on a side note, anyone inclined to help me with a small donation to my March of Dimes walk ... please see the link on here or on my Facebook page ... even small amounts help! We only have a month to fundraise as I started this team kind of late, so anything is appreciated! XOXO
