Alive and well

I haven't written anything in over a month, and now I have almost no record of Anna's third month of life. But now we're in her fourth month, and I have to say, I love it! She's fun. But, I am also back at work, and I miss so much of her funness. By the evenings, she's pretty lazy and tired, and I miss her big gummy smiles and big laughs and squeals. Accomplishments include that she's trying to roll onto her side (which she can only do when she's swaddled... I think her monster thighs get in the way otherwise), and she wants attention a lot more of the time.

Thankfully, I'm only working part-time, but this week I've worked a lot since I had childcare available, and it's been a hard change.

I have pictures of her baptism and her first flight and vacation, but they're stuck inside our camera at home. (I am currently at work, wasting time on a job I don't love and missing time with my baby who I do love.) I was hoping to do pictures tomorrow, but I have two babies with me then. I guess it'll just have to wait.

Speaking of having two babies with me, everyone knows about our childcare arrangement with my friend Amy from work, right? So Amy has a baby, Jack, who's 3 1/2 weeks older than Anna, and she has both babies on Mondays and I have both babies on Wednesdays, and I get Jack some Fridays. Jack and Anna apparently have a blast together these days, but I haven't had them both in over a month. This is the two of them at Amy's on Monday, holding hands!


More about childcare: we have a wonderful babysitter, Jenna, for the next 5 weeks on Thursdays. Then I haven't a clue what we'll do... But we'll figure it out. We are lucky to have many friends and family eager to help.
