Back to work...

Sorry we haven't blogged in a while. My computer crashed last week and John was in Minnesota so I had to wait for him to get back to fix it. It was such a mess and I lost everything! UGH, sometimes I hate computers....Also, this was my first week back to work so I have not had too much time on my hands. Every spare minute I have I am spending with Kaley.

Tuesday, January 29th was my first day back to work. I did a lot better than I expected! I made it all the way out to the car before I burst into tears. It made it easier because I am able to stay busy, but being away from her for 11 hours is hard. I love having Friday's off because I am able to have a whole day with my girl, but getting home so late is not so much fun. I know that it is harder on me than it is on her and at least she is still too young to say "Mommy don't leave". I am not so sure I would be able to leave her if she could.
We are very fortunate to have John's mom watching Kaley during the day. It is much easier leaving her with somebody we know loves her than having to take her to daycare. I cannot imagine having to drop her off at daycare; that would truly break my heart.

Anyways enough about me working...Kaley is doing well. I cannot believe how fast she is growing. She is about 12.5 pounds now. Her personality is really developing with each passing day. She is smiling all the time and is so close to laughing. She gets out the first part of a giggle but not quite a full laugh. She loves to kick and squirm especially when she is on her playmat or in the bath. Bath time is definitely one of her favorite things. We may have a swimmer/ polo player in the making! She has just recently started batting at her mobiles to make them jingle. She also now has a new exersaucer and while she is still a little small for it we still put her in it with a a blanket around her to giver her some added support. She can't reach any of the toys yet, but she loves when we make the lights and music go on.

Lots of pictures!

All smiles!

"Mommy what are you thinking...it is too early in the morning to be taking pictures."

Daddy, I'm hungry!
(I think that spoon is about as big as her head.)

The progression of our new house...
The beginning of January, getting ready to pour the foundation.

It has been two weeks since we have been out to see the house so we should have new pics of it coming soon!
