I can't believe our little baby girl is almost 2 months old already. She has outgrown many of her newborn clothes and is almost out of her 0-3 month clothes already! It is so fun to dress her up pretty! I feel like I am playing house with one of my baby dolls but she is more fun for sure. She is getting really good at her nighttime schedule by sleeping 5 or more hours for her first big stretch of the night. I usually try to put her down at 11 or so and then she will sleep until 4 at least but usually 5. After that she is up every 2 hours or so which is not too bad since I have already gotten a pretty decent chunk of sleep already. What a good daughter to let mommy sleep!
Troy's parents have been visiting us here in Chicago since the beginning of May so we have gotten lots of practice being out with the baby. So far Aubrey is doing pretty well. We have learned that by 5 or so she gets CRANKY but besides that she is good. I think she gets tired but doesn't want to go to sleep so she gets frustrated too - not a good combination. Luckily during the night when she is sleeping she can put herself to sleep so when I'm done feeding her I just burp her and put her back in the bassinet and she lays there quietly until she's asleep - again, what a blessing she is!
This past week I went to my daycare center where I work and discussed my hours for when I will return to work. It looks like I will be working in a 2 year old room for the summer and will work about 7:30-1:00 with a 1/2 hour break in there to go and feed little Aubery. This will work out great because with the warm weather it is easier to get up earlier in the morning and then I will have the whole day out of work and I can also keep Aubrey on a normal breast feeding schedule which was extremely important to me. Come fall I will be back with my little angels in the Kindergarten and after school programs and will be working 11:45-5:45. In the fall I will also be able to keep Aubery on her regular schedule. This makes going back to work much easier for me and her. We were really blessed for me to find this job.
I don't have a ton more to update you on. I don't usually go on and on like this with my writing but I feel like I haven't shared anything with you all in a while. Troy has discovered that Aubrey calms down and actually seems to enjoy sitting on his lap and watching the bright colors of his iTunes visualizer (if you don't have iTunes it is basically psychedelic looking colors that stream across the screen while the song plays). It's a pretty funny sight to see. Troy's sister, Jill, and her boyfriend are coming in to Chicago tonight at midnight so we will get to spend this weekend with them which we are really looking forward to!
I will stop boring you with all of this. Thanks for tuning in!
