My maternity leave is coming to a swift end and I will be going back to work on April 3! I can't believe it has come up so fast... Isabel's day consists of a few basic things- eating, pooping, sleeping, playing, and GROWING! She weighed in at just over 10lbs at her last doctor's appointment and has outgrown all of her Newborn sized clothes now.Of course, this could be due to the fact that I never told her bibs were not for eating!
Her eyelashes are also coming in and they are
beee-u-tee-ful! Tim and I both think her eyes might be starting to change, but it is difficult to tell whether this is due to tricks of the light or if they are really turning brown. Some days I look at them and they look like they are blue with a lighter blue in the center...weird.
She is starting to use her voice more, though not in the crying, screaming way that I thought she might. She punctuates her smiles with squeals and often greets me with coos when she wakes from a nap. She also yells this loud, flat, AAAH! when she is hungry. I think she is going to be a talker. She still amazes me how well she adapts to social situations where there are lots of people around. We have gone to several functions in the past few weeks and she is wonderful at each one causing people to comment what a mellow baby she is. I love that I can take her places! So long as I pay attention to her as well, we can go to restaurants and she will be quiet the entire time. I am enjoying this phase as I am sure it will not last once she reaches 6 months or so :)
So cute!! They grow up so fast, huh? Good luck going back to work. It's hardest the first week, but if you can get through it, it gets easier after that.
ReplyDeleteBoth of my kids had BLUE eyes until a little after 6 months. Now they both have much more muted bluish-grey. Weird the way they change!
