I went back to work on April 13th, Isla was about 10 weeks old. It was a very smooth change for all, and I give all credit to my mom. In truth, I can't imagine doing any of these without her. Good thing Mother's Day is coming up. I already got her an obligatory grandparent photo present (shutterfly coffee mug with the kids' pictures) but also plan to get some of
these, she loves them!
I have heard of babies so quiet that you forget they are in the room. I just didn't believe them until now. Maybe because Olivia is so loud?? Isla is a sweet sweet baby. At almost 3 months old (another week), she smiles on command and coo coos to us when we talk to her. Nai nai and mom melt on the spot. She is also a good sleeper (at least by my standard). She only wakes up once to eat in the middle of the night (somewhere between 2 and 4AM). She loves her little swing she inherited from uncle Hyler.
Finally, she seems to be over her first baby cold. It was the saddest little thing to see snot dripping out of that tiny little nose. Thank goodness for nose frida, that's all I have to say.
Olivia is finally potty trained!! This three-ager phase is no joke, but here we are, knee deep. She doesn't seem like a baby anymore, but a little girl with big ideas and big opinions. Her favorite thing to says is "mommy i don't want to".
Next month, she will be taking her first flight and going on her first trip without me!! What was I thinking??! I know she is in good hands with grandma and Natalie, but still... who will force her to eat her prunes and floss her teeth? We will see how potty trained she really is...
Finally reading this book. So far, it is heart-wrenchingly beautiful...
