Peanut's Gallery: Back to work

Maternity leave ended last week. I started back to work last Wednesday. I was a bit weepy the night before and on my way to work, but the transition has gone well. I am plenty busy so that has helped a great deal. Evie is now staying home with Daddy while he is on paternity leave. Yep, he is taking leave until September. His parents, brother and nephew are coming to visit us next month so it works out nicely.

The last week of my maternity leave we took a trip to San Antonio and Victoria. Mat had a meeting in SA so Evie and I went with him. We did some shopping, had lunch with cousin Laura, and all of us had dinner on the Riverwalk. We visited my parents over the weekend and had a good visit. Evie had her first experience in a "big" pool. We went to Aunt Linda and Uncle Gary's house to go swimming. She loves the water but hates to get out and dry off.

Some new things Evie is doing at 3 months old:

She is a WILD sleeper. She is all over her bed. Recently she has started rolling over onto her tummy to sleep...with thumb in her mouth.

She smiles and "talks" alot. I think she has the prettiest smile in the whole world. Complete with two dimples like her Daddy.

We have cut back to 5 feedings in a day. She usually takes about 5 oz. Her last meal is around 7:45pm and usually goes to bed by 9:00pm and sleeps until 6-ish. She then patiently waits for her breakfast at 7am. This child is pretty laid back...definitely has some Aussie in her!
