I can’t believe it’s been 3 months! Our sweet little girl is 3 months old today and is more beautiful than ever. Before you know it, she’s going to be in kindergarten, then tennis camp, then she’ll be driving, then she’s going to prom. Holy cow – I just saw my life pass before my eyes! Some recent new events that have happened – I started back to work full time (yuck), she found her thumb (yay), she took her first plane ride and was total champ, she’s reverted back to waking up twice a night for feedings (yikes!).
Going back to work has been the emotional equivalent to having your heart ripped out and stomped on. I have not been the perfect role model for the back-to-work-transition. Basically I’ve done it kicking and screaming… and Martin can testify to this because I’ve been kicking and screaming to him. It started out as nightly sobbing, then moved to daily tears, and now I’m down to the occasional mental breakdown. But, it is getting easier. Soon I’ll be like all other mom’s in the workforce, just stick your hand out of the car window and wave goodbye as I’m driving down the street. No, I doubt it. But I will stop crying during the day. Maybe.
So, here we are, 3 months after Amelia was born and we have never been happier. Parenting has been fun but where’s the instruction manual that was supposed to come with this kid? Just when you think you’ve figured something out and all is well, she’ll through us for another loop. What a ride this is going to be:)

Check out this cute photo of her sucking her thumb! This has been many weeks in the making. First of all, she has never taken to the pacifier. And several weeks ago she found her hands and started trying to chew on them and stick them in her mouth. She’s been getting close to just putting her thumb in her mouth for a while now, but it finally happened the other day. For now, we’re so proud. Somehow I don’t think we’ll be so proud when we can’t pry her thumb out of her mouth as she’s moving into middle school. But that’s for another day. For now, I’m a proud mama.
This weekend we drove to Dallas to see our friends, David & Megan and their family. We had so much fun and Amelia was a big hit! Here are some photos of her with friends and in the pumpkin patch.
