Happy Girl

Michala smilin’ at her daddy…

What a cutie!

Life Is Good

I’m sitting here at the computer listening to my beautiful daughter kick and play in her bouncy seat behind me.  The sun is out and it actually feels warm for a change.  And most importantly, I am not at work; the weekend has started.  Life is good!

I started back to work on Monday.  It’s been nice to be in the “adult” world for a change, but boy do I miss by baby during the day.  She doesn’t seem to care that someone else is taking care of her, which of course bothers me on the one hand, but also makes me glad that she’s not a problem child on the other.  I had been worried about how she would do on her first day, but all was fine.  Michala had decided last week that she wasn’t going to take a bottle.  Now mind you, this child was solely bottle fed for at least 4 weeks of her short life… and now that I really needed her to take a bottle, she wasn’t going to do it?  Of course!  But she ended up fighting the first one on Monday, figured out she wasn’t going to eat without it, and then all was fine.  Thank goodness… like she was really going to let herself starve… Have you seen a picture of my daughter lately?  She’s certainly not one to let anything get between her and food :)

I think I’ll enjoy my job more once I get in the swing of things.  Training for a new position is never that entertaining.  Plus I currently don’t have a permanent desk, so I can’t really get settled in yet.  Oh well, I’ll get there. 

Tim’s work is going well.  His company had to cut back on hours so that no one gets laid off, so now Tim gets every other Friday off.  He’s really looking forward to hanging out with Michala on his days off.  It’ll make for good daddy/daughter time. 

Michala has really started to smile.  I must say that being a parent is so much more rewarding and fun when your kids start being interactive.  Your baby’s smile can melt all the day’s frustrations and anxieties away like nothing else.

Here are some new pics of the most beautiful baby in the world.  Hope you enjoy!
