Working Hard

Dear Maddie,

Well we are successfully making the adjustment to Mommy being back at work. Two weeks ago was the first dreaded day back. It's hard to believe that 12 weeks went so fast. It's hard to believe that you're already 3 months old!

The worst part about going back to work is the leaving. Once I'm there, it's so busy I can easily distract myself. But I sure do love talking about you and showing off your pictures! I definitely miss being home to put you to bed every night and watch you spend some time with Daddy, but I also think it's good for Mommy to be working. Not only will it help provide a better future for you, but I hope that it gives you something to admire about me.

Being a mommy is definitely hard, being a working mommy even harder, being a working mommy who works midnights is extremely hard! It's the perfect solution for us right now, and so far, I have to say you have done great with letting Mommy get some sleep during the day. You usually take good naps or at least like to snuggle and relax with me. So we are definitely making it work so far. However, I do know the time is approaching where you will want to be up a lot more. So we are just going to figure things out as they go.

Now, moving on from me working, let's talk about you working! You have been hard at work this past month. You are now cooing and babbling a lot, smiling tons, and I've even gotten 2 giggles out of you! You are slowly starting to like tummy time more - especially since you've learned how to roll over! You're becoming an expert at holding your head up, both when on your tummy and sitting up! Speaking of which you are also loving to sit propped up or in your Bumbo! I think the big thing is that you just are loving to explore your world now. So hear are so pictures showing your hard work this month!

 Tummy time!

All smiles!

Aw that smile just makes me melt! Your favorite time to flash it - when we come to get you from your crib, no matter what time it is you always give us a big old grin! Love you baby girl!


<3 Mommy!
