I'm 3 months old today


Time flies by with this little girl, today she is 3 months old! I'm coming up on the end of my maternity leave (back to work March 7th) and it seems like the time has gone by so fast. We're lucky that Aurora will be home for 6 more weeks with her Mommy before she needs to start daycare. We're getting more and more time full of laughter as Aurora has started to express her sense of humor. Apparently the dogs are hilarious as is cousin Michael. She loves to chatter to anyone who will listen and tells her toys all about her day. She still is a terrible napper and despite my assurances that she isn't missing anything while she's sleeping, she still keeps her naps under 40 minutes.

We're still pretty sleep deprived but that never stops us from offering a smile and a hug to this beautiful babe. We know we are truly blessed that she is here with us.

12 months ago to the day

12 months ago to the day we made our last trek to the sperm bank and the last doctor appointment to try and get good swimmers on board. Today we have an absolutely beautiful almost 3 month old baby. Amazing, isn't it? What a whirlwind year.

Sorry I haven't been posting much, since she was born I've been back to work most of the time and balancing life with a newborn. Been leaving it to S to take care of most of this, but I've been steadily taking photos and videos of her as she's been growing.

I took this video about two weeks ago. She's been trying to eat everything in sight, and especially and most obsessively her favorite stuffed giraffe (his name is Alvin. Or aaavvvwiiiin. Or EEeyyyWwinnn. Something like that.) Problem is that he weighs just a tiny bit too much for her to pick him all the way up and get him to her mouth.
