Managing Time

Is impossible especially with a baby. I never know what my evenings are going to look like. Will she be happy and content, will she be fussy and need holding all night? I have no idea what I will be able to get done. Unfortunately, she has been sick for about a week, so it has been the latter. Day care is great, but she has had almost every sort of sickness possible since she started 2 weeks ago. I also noticed that I have gone 2 weeks without taking pictures of her. We went to Kmart to get pics made because her baby blessing is next Sunday and I wanted some cute pics. Turns out, it takes 2 weeks to get pictures from them. Fortunately, we will get them the day before we leave for St. Louis. In the meantime, I needed cute pictures for the blessing on Sunday. This is my attempt at studio pictures from home. Not too shabby for no backdrops or props. It is hard to get a bad picture of such a cute girl. I love the dog picture, she loves dogs already :) She has really started talking to me and it is so cute. She makes several different sounds and waits her turn to talk. She will have great language skills once she is ready to use actual words. I love knowing all that I know, but it is also annoying because I find myself sometimes looking at her as a "case" so to speak. Another speech pathologist told me that she transcribed her daughter's first words, so hopefully I won't be that bad. Oh well, better too much interaction and learning than not enough.
