penelope started daycare for real this week and mom went back to work. it's been a whoel mix of emotions... stressful, excited, nervous, anxious, sad, happy, etc...but overall i'm really happy. penelope is doing great. on mondays she is with grandma h and i'm sure she is getting all the hugs, kisses and spoiling a baby could ask... especially on the mondays that grandpa h stays home to see her too :) so i was not worried at all for mondays... however, tuesday through friday she goes to her full-time sitter and like any new mom i worried she'd be upset, missing me, or just crying and the sitter woudl be too busy to hold her/cuddle with her... well that is clearly not the case. suzie is amazing and penelope is happy as can be - it's all i can ask for! everytime i go to pick her up i can hear her cooing when i come downn the stairs. suzie loves to sit and talk with her and get all the smiles! and as long as penelope is being talked to and you are giving her face to face attention - she is happy and will give you some of her more elusive hug smiles and baby coos. and tata and paw-paw (susan's parents) are there as well and love penelope already. everytime i come get her - tata gets sad and has to come in for one last kiss before we leave.... and when kris drops penelope off in the morning, the little girls at the sitter come over and say "she's so cute, or she's so pretty" they have heard all the adults say it - so it's what they say rihgt when they see her - it's adorable. we are having to get used to a bit of new routine now becuase penleope is super tired from all the daycare stimulation so goes to bed a bit earlier... which in theory sounds good - but it just means that she is actually up an extra time before we are up... so it's taking some getting used to - but we are getting there! since she started daycare mommy's favorite time is right after we get home and it's just us. we get some quality play/cuddle time and i love it! here are some of my favorites from after daycare this week...
how big is penelope... so big!
trying to find my thumb (which she did on wednesday! but then lost it again. those thumbs are elusive little suckers).
happy baby! i like to pretend it's cuz she is so happy to see her mommy and not because she just ate, burped and pooped.
damn thumb got away from me again.
pimp hand! this kid always has one hand in a fist - she's got that pimp hand ready to lay down the law.
what do you want? you want to stare at me? i'll just stare right back.
that's not just a second chin. that's a second neck. and i think penelope needs a bra. those baby boobs are getting inappropriate.
just winding down and watching tv with daddy. it's been a long day. a girl needs to rewing with a little boob tube. (she laid like this and just stared at the tv for about an hour on thursday - it's hard work entertaining all those kids at daycare.)
