Well this past week has been a whirlwind it seems. I am all thrown off because I worked Monday and Tuesday so the rest of the week felt like it should have been the weekend! Scotty was away on his business trip so I packed up the baby and headed up to Yorba Linda. We left Wednesday and came home on Friday. I knew that being at home all day with just the baby would probably make me batty so I went to spend time with my family!

Nicky is finally ready to hold the baby! Kayden sure does love her Uncle Nicky!!

Kayden has learned to blow raspberries. She does this when she is being sassy and when she is mad. When she’s mad the raspberries turn into spitting, but whatever it’s still cute!

We had a nice visit with Kim and her girls. Addison was playing with the dolls and just having a fun time getting into things. We took the girls for a walk to the park. Addison swung on the swings and zipped down the slides. Kayden and Reese enjoyed a snack on the benches watching Addison do her things. Kim and I are excited for the time that our little ones are chasing after Addison!

This is what happens when mommy doesn’t make the rice cereal fast enough! I couldn’t resist dressing Kayden up in my mom’s doll clothes. Conveniently they wear 6-9 month clothing so I think Kayden might have some hand-me-down clothes coming her way.

Friday afternoon Scotty got home and we headed to the harbor for happy hour with Eli and family. Kayden wore a nice dress and cute bow. Unfortunately the outfit didn’t last! Daddy got a quick catch up on all of the poopy diaper changing that he missed all week. Good thing he took her to the car… she needed a wardrobe change and wipey rub down!

Monday was my first day back to work. I started crying Sunday night and it continued through my commute in to work. I held myself together all day and somehow managed not to get a speeding ticket on my way home. Knowing that my baby is in the hands of her grandmothers makes it so much easier. Kayden loves her Nam and her Mimi so I know she is having a fun-filled day while I am away. Unfortunately, the day I went back to work is the day Scotty left for a business trip. He left Monday morning and will be home Friday. So now I am a part-time working single mother. Ha! Today I have my second day of work and it’s my Friday. I am so lucky to be job-sharing with Maica- Eli’s mommy. She has set up the classroom so that all I have to do is show up. So far, I love the kids and look forward to establishing a routine at work and at home. I’m so lucky that my husband works so hard so that I can work part-time! Thanks Nam for watching Kayden yesterday. Here are some of the pics she sent me throughout the day that helped me get through it!

Kayden loves to eat!
