So I went back to work.  I survived for about 2 hours before I cried at work.  Of course, I had a good reason.  My husband called and said “She won’t stop crying and I can’t get her to drink from her bottle!”  “Bring her to me!” I sobbed.  So he did and I quieted her in seconds (she just missed her mommy!) and got her to drink her bottle.  After that Daddy had a good day with Addie and Mommy did okay at work too.  I’ve done pretty well since then.  I have to say I have never been so excited to go home from work everyday.

We have lots of fun together, Daddy, Adalyn, and I.  We’ve been reading books, making up silly songs, and just smiling at each other.  Today I got a big smile for no reason at all!  Usually I have to smile at her first or sing her a song to get a smile from her but today she started it!  So cute!

We just moved to a bigger apartment where Adalyn has her very own room!  I am tempted to paint it pink, which I guess you can do as long as you paint it back when you leave.  I wish I knew how long we’d be here so I can decide if it is worth it.  Addie’s crib is still in our room though and probably will be for at least another couple of weeks.  I have to get  a monitor before I can move it anyway.

Everywhere we go, Adalyn gets lots of attention.  I am sure it is that way with all babies but it is something I have never experienced before.  We went to Home Depot today and at least 5 people stopped us to comment and ask questions about our little girl.  Yesterday, someone told us she should be in commercials with her beautiful little face.  I knew she was beautiful, but it’s nice when other people say it too.  Her cousin Anna is a very pretty little girl as well, she has big blue eyes and a sweet little smile.  They are going to be so cute growing up together.

Well, I must get to bed.  It’s been a busy weekened.  Plans for next weekend: Addie’s first hockey game (Go Bolts!) and more unpacking.
