First week of work

Well this was my first week back at work and yeah, it was a tough week. I had my emotional breakdown on Sunday night at the thought of leaving behind my baby boy and going to work. But I did a little better on my trips into work in the morning. Although holding him sleeping in my arms after feeding him made putting him back in his crib and leaving pretty difficult. (I was half tempted my second day to try sneaking him into work in my backpack hehe). But as the last hour of work counted down I became quite giddy because I knew that I got to see him really soon. But thanks to our wonderful parents who came to watch him my first week back, he did really well. And it helped me too. But he did very well with them and took his bottles, played happily, ate his veggies and well....tried to go down for naps...sometimes. :) hehe But I am very proud of him! And having Wednesday off to be able to play, cuddle and love him all day was just awesome. So I will enjoy that. And pumping at work was not as bad as I thought it would be. So I guess all in all it went pretty well. Do I want to be at work?...no way. But we are doing a little better now and I will really enjoy working only half time.

But luckily we still took a bunch of pictures this week and so you still get your Jakey pics. :) Enjoy!

Here is Jake showing off his sitting skills. He had his first spill last week where he just went down too fast for me and while I did catch him when he was about half way down he still hit his head on the coffee table. Both of us were not too happy for a couple of minutes, but after that he acted like nothing ever happened. My tough little guy.

Jake has also suddenly realized that he is quite flexible as he loves to put his foot in his mouth.

Playing with a stuffed football, what is funny is that it is about as big as he is.

Jake is really working on taking his pacie out and then putting it back in his mouth. He is really good, as he always has been, at taking it out. Putting it back in the correct way is still something he is working on.

Jake now loves his baths as he splashes around and can now sit up in his little plastic tub.

On Thursday I came home from work and this is what I found. Jake and Grandpa had decided to take a nap together. hehe, isn't it adorable.
Jake and his Grandma also love their reading time. :)
