Now that I’m back at work (every other day in the office, with add’l time from home), Jordan and Natalie get to hang out for her first shift of awake time in the morning. Its tough to go to work when these two get to stay at home and play for an hour*! I had a tough time trying to snatch a Natalie smile for this photo – she was so busy turning her head from left to right in rapid succession, that I was fortunate to catch a glance mid-turn.
Dad, I'm too busy to read this book right now - there's so many other things to look at!
*Although its tough to leave, its going well so far! No tears from Natalie or me yet! I’m really thankful that: 1) I only need to be in the office 3 days a week and can work from home the rest of the time, 2) work is only 10 minutes away, 3) Jordan’s work is 1.5 blocks away and he doesn’t work the crazy hours of many of our business school friends, and 4) we have wonderful people to watch Natalie (usually, a stay-at-home mom who has a super cute almost 1-year-old and whose husband goes to Kellogg and every other week, my cousin Tim’s girlfriend, Kelly!)
Natalie also “turned” 3 months last weekend, but since our household has gotten a lot busier with me at work, the 3-month update will have to come later. I vote Jordan writes it this time! 🙂
Finally, we feel really blessed b/c so many people have offered sleeping hints via FB. Everyone, THANK YOU! We feel lucky to be so supported.
Such a sweet picture! It’s so nice that Jordan and Natalie get to spend some alone time together…he’ll always remember. And I’m SO glad to hear that working is going so well so far! The childcare situation sounds perfect.
Love your updates!
I miss Natalie…getting to see her cute cheeks twice a month is not enough!
