16 Weeks Are Up

My 16 weeks of maternity leave ended about two weeks ago, so I am officially a working mom. It was rough at first, but is getting easier, and I must admit that I am enjoying the adult interaction. I enjoy getting home at night even more, though. We hired a nanny for the first two weeks back, which eased the transition, and tomorrow Lauren will go to daycare for the first time. I took her to a Gymboree class on Saturday and she loved looking at the other babies, so I think she's going to enjoy being around other babies her size.

Lauren currently loves looking in the mirror.

Cheap fun with burp rags.


Lauren likes to have both a hand and a foot in her mouth at all times.

We took Lauren to the Kansas City Airshow a couple of weekends ago and got to walk across Broadway Bridge, which was cool.

We didn't appreciate how noisy it would be (not so cool).

Lauren sending Doug Dahl off to D.C. in style. Lauren hearts Vespas.

Being a working mom is exhausting for both of us.
