Back to Work!

So, a lot has happened in the last week! I started back at work, and Brynnie has met some milestones!

Work of course was fine, I knew it would be. I was worried about how Brynn would handle being at daycare. How would she sleep and eat? Those were the 2 things I worried most about. And guess what? She did fine at both! She is taking the bottle just fine and eating her sweet potatoes :) She also napped well. Whew. It makes this going back to work thing a whole lot easier when I know she is getting what she needs! Kevin and Kelsey's kiddos seem to just love her, too. One of the days I showed up to pick her up, Sophie was singing to her. So sweet.

Being at work means I have to pump. Something I hate. I already have seen my supply take a hit... and it is so tempting to just not pump at work. I am going to give it this week and see how it goes. If I can make it one more week, then that means I made it until Brynn was 8 months, and that I am proud of. I would still breastfeed her at night and morning as much as I can, just cut out the daytime when I am at work. She is going to start eating more solids now anyway. This weekend, we gave her crackers which she loved. I also got her some puffs and stuff to try with her. It is so fun!

As far as milestones... holy buckets! Pulling to stand??! How did that happen? She still prefers to crawl with her belly on the ground, she can move fastest that way, but will crawl with her belly off the floor. She now is trying to pull herself to stand off everything since she figured out she could, so here come the bumps and bruises! She has crash landed a few times, but luckily hasn't hit anything sharp or anything. I am loving our coffee table right now since it is leather and not wood. She wont hurt herself on that! She also is screaming when she gets mad/ frustrated/ happy. Piercing screams. Luckily it is just a shriek and not constant... but it is loud!

Not sure what we are going to do today... think we may head to the zoo. It is going to be a beautiful day so we might as well take advantage of it! Hope it isn't too crazy. I am sure I will have a lot to update after my first week with the kids! I am really excited to meet them!!

Here is a little look into Brynn's world :)
