Aubree's 1st day of daycare

Aubree slept so well through the night. She awoke at 4:30 am to nurse. Afterwards she fell back asleep like any other morning. Although, it was unlike any other morning thus far for both of us. I got ready for work while she slept. Then at 5:30 she awoke again for whatever reason and I began to dress her and give her medicine to her. I was glad she awoke again, because my fear was that I would miss out on her moring smile. But luckily for me she woke up smiling and playful like usual and I got to share a few moments of laughter with her before work. I then loaded her up for work. Upon arriving she slept til 8:00am. I nursed her and then returned to work. I went to visit her at 9:40 again and then at 12:20 and 2:30. Each time she was awake sitting in a bouncer, smiling. What a relief! And each time when I entered her classroom she would grin so big my heart would hurt with joy. While nursing her she would smile and talk to me, sometimes even laughing. It was as if she was telling me all about her first day. Her teachers' names are Deborah(The lead teacher) and Cookie. They seem really awesome! My heart is at ease after seeing how well she ajusted. I love the fact that I can go over and see her whenever I want. Which today has been every couple of hours. I miss her terribly but I have enjoyed my first day back at work. Bree has done amazing and I feel confident she will continue to love her daycare.

Growing like a weed!!!

Aubree is growing and changing so rapidly. She was 12 weeks old last Thursday. She is smilimg and laughing all the time. What a happy baby! She lites up when you talk to her or even when she sees a familiar face. Bree is cooing and aahhing all the time, too. It is so precious to watch her enjoy life. Saddly, she will start daycare Monday. She is going to Childrens Choice Learning Center which is a HCA hospital affiliated learnin/daycare center. I am very confident in the center and its employees, however it will be extremely hard to leave her. Atleast she'll be right there w/ me and I can go see her often. On Thursday Bree started imitating her Daddy and making the motorboat noise w/ her mouth. Now she does it non-stop. Its adorable! Her Daddy is pretty proud too. We are amazed at how fast she is changing. She is doing a good job of holding her head up as well. She still takes reflux medication and hates it as much as ever. She has outgrown her favorite pj's. We are heading to Target as soon as I get finished to shop for new ones. We had our pictures taken at Magical Memories. Cara did a great job! But, ofcourse she had a great subject!!! We had a lady date/lunch with the girls from G.S. this past week. All the new babies were so precious. We all enjoyed it. We Hope to see everyone soon. Love you, Amanda
