Not too much is happening around here. We celebrated our anniversary, took beautiful family/Evynn's 3 month/our 2 year anniversary pictures, I worked, and we had our first halloween. I so wish we would've actually done something for halloween, I found so many fun family of three/baby costume ideas but had to work during trunk or treat then we spent all of actual halloween sleeping on the couch from a busy friday night/5th quarter the night before! Halloween night I put everything pink on Evynn with a tutu and called her a ballerina just for dinner, ha! I told Cody we should've been "new parents" and bust out our look from the early weeks-pajamas all day every day, spit up down our shirts, dark circles under our eyes, crazy sleep hair, and coffee in hand. Totally missed the opportunity, oh well.
Evynn decided over the weekend to start rolling back to belly...with no announcement. We looked down and saw that she was flipped over. oh, okay! Good thing we weaned her from the swaddle last week, PTL. She now frequently rolls over from her back to her belly anytime she's on a play mat but then panics when she's on her belly.... we're working on problem solving skills and trying to remind her of her first trick (roll back over, sweet girl).
She also has started pulling and grasping. Pulling on my shirt while she nurses, (or pinching me while she nurses, ouch!) pulling my hair, and always has a handful of my hairs that she collects from who knows where. It's really unfortunate that postpartum hair loss and her grasping hit at the same time. sigh. She's working really hard to sit up too. not quite able to by herself but she'll lean her back on my chest and hold her upper back and head up by herself. She also just started drooling all.the.time. Also, she found her feet and loves to grab them or pick up her legs to her face.
Going back to work has been great, but as mentioned before, getting in a routine of pumping has been the hardest to get on track with. I feel like I'm always washing bottles in between work days, I can't imagine if we were bottle feeding her all the time, sheesh! She drinks 4-5 bottles between 5am-7:30pm while I'm gone. So I get home, wash those 4-5 bottles, pour the milk from my 4-6 pumped bottles into those, wash my "pump" bottles and get them ready to pump again tomorrow and now her bottles to drink are ready to go in the fridge. It's a good routine, but it does seem like a ton of bottle washing in the meantime.
I'm savoring today-my first day off after working three in a row. Which means lots of baby cuddles today to make up for a busy weekend. Cody did an excellent job at being daddy alllll weekend and Miss Evynn sure thinks he's the greatest ;) Also, hosting a baby shower this weekend. Y'all know party planning makes my heart skip a beat!
