I think my transition back to work, and Caroline's transition to daycare went pretty well this week. We only did a half day on Wednesday, and all day Thursday. For me, it was as if I never left work. My leave went so quickly. And from what people tell me, nothing really changed while I was gone! And Caroline's doing better at daycare too. She's eating for them better and napping in her crib too. So that's good. Though so far, every time I pick her up she gives me the silent treatment for about an hour. She refuses to look at me. Even when I'm basically right in her face! It's weird. It's like she's ticked off - but who knows. Hopefully she'll get over it at some point - I thought she was supposed to smile and be happy to see me when I picked her up! :-)
On Thursday when I picked her up, I walked in the door and as soon as the one teacher saw me she said, "Caroline rolled over today!!!" And I said, "really?!?!?!?" And in my head I'm thinking - man, I missed it! They said she was hanging out on her back, and just rolled right over. I've never seen her do this before - I've seen her go from her back to her side, and hang out there, but she's never taken the next step and rolled from her side to her belly. So anyway, I'm sure this is the first of many things that she'll do, and that we'll miss. So that was a bummer. I called Greg to tell him the news, and his response was an emphatic "Well THAT sucks!!!" followed a few seconds later by the same thought I had..."and we missed it." Obviously it's great that she rolled over. But it's still kinda depressing when someone else gets to see it before you! We'll have to see if this was a freak occurence, or something she'll start doing every so often now. I put her on the floor for a little while last night and today to see if she'd roll over again, but so far no luck. But you can bet we'll be watching for it now!
I didn't work today, but a bunch of the people I work with wanted to meet the baby so we met them at Ozo this morning - a coffee shop near work. Here's a picture of her in her cute little fuzzy jacket that Christy sent us - I love it - it's so soft! And the second picture is of Steve getting some baby time - he's got at least one fairly new grandbaby so he's used to the little ones. It was kinda fun to have everyone meet the the baby. She just sat there with wide eyes looking at everyone and taking it all in. There's a lot of stimulation at Ozo! Plus, there were also about 8 or 9 people staring at her too. :-) But she did really well. She's been to Ozo twice now!
