Growing

So, it's nap time.  Since nap time and bedtime are in Audrey's very own bedroom...seems I'm having a little more mommy-time for other things.  She's been doing pretty well in her crib.  We even had a 7-hour night last week!  Woo-Hoo!!!  It's been the only one so far...but, we know we're well on our way.  Sleeping is by far the number one thing people ask about I've noticed.  (I have also read 3 books on the subject.)  It's funny how something that seems so simple can become so very complex when it comes to babies.  Our little baby seems to be a night owl but loves to sleep in right now. (I imagine that will change when we are all on more of a "regular" schedule) She is also a fighter when it comes to sleep.  She'll fight it and fight it and fight it...but, right now, we are winning. {grin}

We are officially in size 2 diapers. :-( Since we never did use the Newborn size, this has come way too fast for me!!! We are also growing out of the 0-3 month clothes and moving on up to the 3-6 month!  Luckily, due to the generosity of my very lovely cousin and her little girl, we have lots of new clothes to choose from.  We are also getting into lots of gifted outfits which is also very fun.  More cuteness on it's way...(we also go to the dr this Friday for an official weight/length check)

My "easing" back into work is going quite well.  Two weeks (4 days) down and everyone did great!  It was strange being back to work...I almost felt like I wasn't going to quite know how to do my job.  Luckily, it's just like riding a bike and I got right back into it.
Jason really enjoyed all of his one on one time with the angel...and I think she really loved it as well.  We are for sure going to have a Daddy's Girl on our hands.  She took to the bottle like an old pro and has been taking extra long naps for daddy already.  We also hired a babysitter to start in March.  Her name is Kristy and we think we are really going to like her.  She has a couple of other toddlers that she watches and is so very excited to have a baby in the house again.  She also lives super close so that is also a bonus.  Right next to our grocery store which will be extra nice as the grocery shopping has been very lacking these days...

I hope that everyone is enjoying the snow...I can't remember the last time we had quite so much.  It really is so beautiful.  Of course, I don't have to travel much in it, so that helps. It is really so pretty out our window...luckily we don't have any views of roads or parking lots.  Those...not so pretty.
