Happy 4 months, Savannah!

She's 4 months old as of yesterday. How crazy, the time has gone so fast! I can't believe how big she's getting, yet how small she still is. She's definitely growing quickly! The last weigh-in was 14lbs 8oz at my parents' house the other day. We'll get another weigh-in and whatnot at the pediatrician's on Friday.

She's been giggling, which is the cutest thing ever! It's still pretty sporadic, but she's doing it more and more. Plus, she "talks" like crazy, it's great. She's also trying *SO* hard to roll over. She can almost make it. She gets most of the way, and needs just the teeniest push to actually make it over. Pretty soon she'll be doing it!

First week back to work...

Well, I survived my first *full* week back to work. It was hard. Hard to leave my baby girl, hard to be away from her all day long, and hard to keep from getting a speeding ticket on my way home to see her.

It was definitely a long week. It honestly wasn't horrible, just long. I know it will get easier.

I got to transition back by way of doing a whole lotta nothing the first couple of days while all of my logins got reinstated after my leave. You'd think they could start that process the week before I come back, but they're not allowed to do so until I'm back in the building. After that, I got some training, and was set loose on a brand new report. It's nice to do something new, but I'm working in a very "grey" area, and I have a lot of power when it comes to determining which accounts stay open and which get closed. It's hard working in such a grey area, but I feel good that they trust me enough to do so.

All in all, I think I'll survive. I knew I'd survive, but those first few days were hell. I'm better now, and we're getting a nice routine down, which makes things easier.

I'm forever grateful that my mom is our babysitter. I know she enjoys every minute of it, and we have someone we trust to no end watching our little one.

In a few more days, Savannah will be 4 months old...I can't believe how fast the time is going!

Cheers!
