Finger-Lickin' Fun Times @ 12 Weeks and the Ugly Word (Work)

This week was my first week back to work. The transition is going very well - much better than I anticipated. I am actually enjoying the time away and I think Rose likes having other people to play with.

Here is our arrangement for the week:
Day 1 = Was with Great Grandma Whitaker
She was good for G-Gma, G Aunt Minnie and Pa (yes, we had 3 people watching her). She played, napped and was very social. When she got home she fell asleep at 8. I think this is when I fell in love with the whole working / parenting thing. :)

Day 2 = Daycare @ Megs Playhouse
The teacher was so sweet - said Rose was an angel. When I walked in, Rose was watching the other kids play - you could tell she was really enjoying herself (see pic below). We got home and she immediately fell asleep @ 7 - she was SOOOOO tired; nothing could wake her up!

Day 3 = Daddy
She did pretty good with daddy. Had a couple of meltdowns but was a princess. Daddy enjoyed spending the day with her alone.

Day 4 = Mommy
So far, today is going well. We have played, napped and are doing chores together. She's been in a great mood.

Day 5 = Jama (My mom)
Jama will be taking her to show her off tomorrow. Best wishes, Jama!

Below are some pictures / video of Rose this week:

We had our first houseguests stay over last week. Our good friends Anna Mary and Scott came into town for a visit. We miss them already!!!

Rose is starting to grasp things quite well. She is also fascinated by her hands and loves to shove them in her mouth. Sometimes, she gags herself on them.
