I've been back to work for 2 full weeks and so far I can't say it has gotten any easier. At least for me. Tim and Kaelyn are doing great spending their days together! Tim usually ventures out of the house at least 2 or 3 times per week. It helps break up his day. Kaelyn's on a great schedule! She is going to bed about 7:30 and gets up around 4:00 or 5:00 in the morning to eat than goes back to bed for 2 or 3 hours. She's amazing!! It really helps that she can put herself back to sleep - that is KEY! I was asked what I was "slipping" her before bed. I swear she is getting ONLY breast milk! And she is breastfed for her last 2 feedings of the day. AND she sleeps in her own bed (which she has from day one). Seriously people, she 
should win some kind of award or something.
She is learning all kinds of new things. She is grabbing her feet, talking more, laughing and
smiling more. I think she is starting to recognize our voices. While she is breast feeding after about 5 minutes she starts to pull off a lot if we're talking. She looks at me, smiles, then opens her mouth and pops back on. It makes me smile. Sometimes she does this continuously!! On that note: breast feeding is going really well! I'm finally to a point where I enjoy it! I'm still not pumping quite enough at work so she is averaging 2 formula bottles per week (ya, that's right, per WEEK) - which is so MINOR! I LOVE IT! I also pump once before bed and often times once in the middle of the night. She's great, she's healthy, and she's totally amazing! We've been great about getting her around new people and letting people hold her, but she still is unsure of it. After a little bit she gets fussy and wants Mommy or Daddy. I feel that as long as we continue to expose her to people and show that being held by others is safe then she'll get used to it. We are working on more tummy time. She is not a fan of it so she's mastered batting at toys while lying on her back.
So I may be a little bias, but Kaelyn is probably Baby of the Year! :)

That is SO great that she is doing so well! I guess that I am confused about your comment about your husband.....does he stay home with her & work nights maybe? She is a cutie pie for sure! :)
Yes, you guessed right! my husband stays home with her and works in the evening.
Thanks for answering my ? That must be so great because you don't have to pay for expensive day care & in the winter time you won't have to worry about taking her out in the cold...& snowy roads too! Perfect for you all! :)
