Back to Normal

At the Grandparents

It's been just about a week since David came back from the Wisconsin trip. It's very evident that Indigo likes to have both of us home. She seems calmer, like "yes, this is what is right, I like this!" She's doing better at daycare because of this also. Early last week she cried when I left her and was crying when I picked her up - no good! But now she's back to "bye, Mom." I think she is still adjusting to the new nap time, though. She crashed at 7:15 tonight. 

It's funny transitioning rooms at daycare. The infant caregivers LOVED Indigo so much. I think they love all the babies, but they just took such good care of her when she was so little and I started back to work. It was nice to have their expertise about what was 'normal' and what to expect with this itty bitty baby. Now, we have a routine set and things that we like and don't like, but I don't feel that we've had the same level of contact with the one's teachers. But I think we're getting there. It's a different focus in that room, also. It's less baby-led and more of a class. I think this is a good thing, we just all need to get used to it. 

So Grown Up

David went to our HOA meeting tonight. We've lived here 4 years and have never been to a meeting. They only have them twice a year, so it's not too surprising. He's going to check it out and find out what they are doing with all the money we pay them! Specifically, if we have lots of vacancies in the association, are the rest of us subsidizing the groundskeeping, etc. We're wondering if the association goes after people who have foreclosed or if we are out of luck. And if we DO have enough money in the budget, can we do things to the buildings like re-stucco the bad ones or replace ALL the fences instead of spot-replacing the really bad ones. The inside of my house is great and I love it and I think the next owner will love it. But we also have to sell the neighborhood and that is what the association is supposed to do. 

So Big!

I was good about taking pictures for a while and I have gotten out of the habit. She was so needy and loving her took precedence. But she has some fun birthday clothes and accessories I want to get pictures of and send to people. 

Indigo and Grandma Carol

Tonight, after she had a little bath she seemed to need some winding down, so we sat together in the chair and she laid her head on my shoulders and ate mango together. She would take a piece and then feed me pieces too. Even kitty had some! It was precious. 

I promise to prioritize taking more pictures!
