Halloween

Last night we began festivities for Halloween...check it out!

3 Months

On Saturday Elliana turned 3 months! As cliche as it sounds...GOSH they grow so fast! Here are some comparison pictures for you!

The transitions back to work has been a cinch! Glad to be back. Of course, I miss our little bug but I have something to look forward to EVERYDAY after work. Karen, our at home daycare nanny is great. Things are cool runnings so far!

Back To Work

It was like I wasn't even gone! The transition has been great. Believe it or not, I actually missed work. Because things have been busy, it has definitely help stop me from worrying about Elliana to much. Things with the nanny are going well. Karen spoke about what a great baby Elliana is. She said that Elliana is so happy and has such a calm demeanor. It's a nice reminder when people say that, since there are so many parents that really struggle with difficult babies. Ryan and I are so, lucky!

Sleeping Beauty

This Wednesday I go back to work. I am on the fence about it all. Super excited to get back to normal life. Plus I love my job and the people I work with. The down side is of course having to leave Elliana with someone other than myself or Ryan. We are taking her to an at home daycare that Nicole referred us to. Karen (the daycare lady) is super nice, she lives close by and seems to be perfect.

From day one my feeling about daycare was "why get all worked up about it, we know we have to do it so, don't get all emotional about it." Well, this outlook lasted from the day I found out I was pregnant through the middle of last week and then all of a sudden I became a sobbing mess! I could barely talk about daycare without getting a shaky voice. Again, me not being much of an cryer it was a little out of character. Finally, I'm at grasp with the idea again (well until Wednesday..haha) and doing good. It is VERY crazy and emotional how you become after you have a child.

As for Elliana, she is growing day by day. Now that she is smiling a lot and developing more it has been super fun as of late. She is rolling over on her sides, lifting her head up more and making lots of noises. She is eating roughly 6 to 7 times a day - about 5 oz each time. She is closer and closer to sleeping through the night. Yesterday, she even rolled over! Ryan and Tim were the witnesses...bummer for me.

Enjoy the new pictures.
