Daddy Goes Back to Work and Visitors











Holly here - Michael was sad that he had to go back to work on Monday and leave Daniel. He missed his little buddy. I am learning how to entertain Daniel all day and maybe even try to get him on a schedule?? Monday morning Daniel and I went shopping at Babies R Us - it is amazing how much easier it is to shop there at 10am on a weekday! We had to buy more supplies for Daniel like wipes and baby wash and shampoo. Daniel was very good and all the workers wanted to know all about him.

We did some tummy time when we got home. Daniel is able to lift his head and is becoming very strong. I also bought some rings to get Daniel to start grabbing things with his hands. It seems to me that his left hand is stronger than his right so maybe he will be a lefty (Michael thinks would be great for sports). We also did more singing and dancing to party favorites.

Daniel fell asleep right as his visitors showed up - Rachel and Jennifer Rose. I was so happy to finally meet Jennifer Rose and she is a sweetheart with lots of smiles. She enjoyed walking around the table and I even got to see her eat baby food. Rachel was great to bring lunch and extra food for me and Michael. After playing with Jennifer we ate lunch and then Daniel woke up so that Rachel could hold him. He gave Rachel lots of smiles! Jennifer really liked the Rainforest Bouncer (just like Daniel). I think we have some great future playmates here.

Today is Jennifer's First Birthday - so Happy Birthday and Many More!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Michael and I are thrilled for Rachel and Joe and Jennifer who are now a family of three.

When Michael got home he got lots of smiles from Daniel! Then I headed off to my yoga class. Apparently Michael had a malfunction and problem with at least two bottle nipples and Daniel's feeding was VERY LONG. When I got home from yoga, Michael had still not eaten dinner.

We played with Daniel, read to him and sang to him tonight. He is such a happy baby when he is fed and dry! We cannot wait for Aunt Valerie and Uncle Eric to meet him.

pics are now posted :-)
