She's still in her bassinet next to our bed. I'm not really ready to move her into her crib- it seems so big and so far away from me, and I love having her close.
Anyway, recently I started waking up to find her head mashed into the top of the bassinet like so:
Notice that she has kicked off all of her blankets, and is fussing at me like I mashed her head up against the top. No honey, you did this all on your own!
(Don't worry though, the bassinet is soft-sided, so she can't hurt herself by doing this.)Ava will do this same backward-scooch if you leave her on the bed too, so it has begun- NO leaving her unattended, even for a split second!
We recently returned from Orlando, Florida. Chris had a training conference for work, and Ava and I had never seen FL, so we joined him. It was a very long drive, made even longer by the fact that we had to stop every couple of hours or so so that I could nurse Ava. By the time she ate, got a clean diaper, and stretched for a few minutes, we'd lost an hour. The trip took us about a day and a half each way. However, it was worth it to be together as a family, and for these pictures-

Unfortunately, my stay-at-home-mom time is up. I have to return to work tomorrow morning. I know I will miss my little bug terribly, but I'm trying to look on the bright side- it will be good for Ava to be around someone other than me all day long, and I will once again return to the world of the working adults. The only thing that's gotten done around here for the past 10 1/2 weeks is growing a baby...which is enough for me.
