My mother once described him as having, "gentle eyes". She was right. He's the most gentle human being, and sweet. This morning after feeding the little one, I asked him to burp her so I could catch up on some rest. I was starting to drift when I peaked over at him, and he had her nestled on his chest, both napping. I think I melted a little.
My little angel is napping in her bassinet at the moment. We've gotten her used to a little routine. After her 9 am feeding, she gets her bath, and then we play. The good news is, I no longer consider it an accomplishment if I can take a shower. :)
She'll sit in her musical boppy chair and track different objects. Usually she sits a half hour before we scoop her up and talk to her. I posted some videos on our facebook page of her talking. It's the cutest thing ever!
I'm realizing that day time television is junk. Somewhere between Martha Stewart and morning news, I realize I'm getting slightly excited to go back to work. Don't get me wrong, I love being a stay-at-home-Mom. Realistically, it is better for us financially if I go back. Thank God the daycare I'm working is so understanding. They've given me extra maternity leave understanding Madison came a little later than we expected, and they are willing to work with my schedule to fit my preference. I'm blessed. So, February 22 is the big day. I'll be going in part-time to start in the mornings, and coming home by 1:00pm to be with Maddy.Next week my best friend Cathy flies in from Massachusetts to stay with us for a week. I can't wait for Madison to meet her surrogate Aunty Cathy! That's it for today. The sun is out, the weather is gorgeous.. if you're able, take a walk and enjoy!
