Lizzy and I have spent our last couple weeks together home with Daddy. It has been wonderful having Matthew home, and I feel like the time in the beginning of the maternity leave that we lost to hospital time was regained. We have been having a great time, even with Matt working from home, and I am even sadder now to return to work on Weds.


Before Lizzy came home, I really thought that I wouldn't mind going back to work, but I do. I love my job, and I do miss my students, but the thought of days without Lizzy makes me cry. I can't even imagine the sadness I am going to feel soon. She is so wonderful, and she does something new and funny everyday. I am so worried that soon I will miss all her firsts. In the last couple of weeks she has gotten very attached to me (crying when I leave the room), and she has become very scared of strangers. This new development makes me a little happy (I like to be her favorite) and scared about how she will do at daycare and about how I might not be her favorite soon.


We have done lots of fun things recently. Lizzy finally met my aunt and uncle...her first Arzola's. My cousin Bevin also came to visit. She also made her first trip to the Kwiatkowski lake house for a day of fun with her cousins, and she went to the park for the first time. She LOVES the swing. We knew she would. This child is amazing, and she loves to experience new things.


Her new tricks are shaking her head "No", clapping her hands, and basically mimicking anything that we do.
