A week of change

This week is a week of change at our house for all members of our family.  Abigail starts daycare this week - she will be going for just the mornings on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and then will be there full time on Thursday and Friday.  Matt starts back to work on Thursday.  Koda will finally have to be alone during the day (something that he has not had to deal with since June!!).  Nothing really changes for me except that our routine is changing once again.

Today we are going to pack up and label things for daycare.  I am kind of excited for her to go - I know, sounds weird coming from a mom, but it will be great for her to get to play and interact with other children.  She seems to love to watch things that are going on around her so I think the change of scenery and such at daycare will be good entertainment from her.  I am not looking forward to her getting sick for the first time, which I know will happen after she starts going on a regular basis.  We have been lucky enough to have her totally healthy this long (she will be 5 months old on Thursday!).

Everything at our place is good.  Matt continues to coach basketball and Abigail and I have gone to all the home games thus far and some of the closer away games.  She really enjoys watching the girls run up and down the court and gets excited when she hears her dad talk - she tries to find where he is, it is totally adorable!  My work is going good - crazy busy and stressful, but I am trying my best to keep the stress level down and work hard while I am there.  We had a nice visit with Matt's parents this weekend (Friday to Saturday) and enjoyed a nice quiet evening last night.  Next weekend, Matt is busy with basketball so Abigail, Koda and I are heading to Mishicot for the weekend and for a Thirty-One party that my mom is having.  I am sure it will be a crazy busy weekend like always there - but it will be nice to spend time with them.

Abigail continues to love her cereal - which she is now getting twice a day.  She has now started to roll over from her belly to her back consistently.  She loves to grab at things (my hair, any part of Koda that she can get a hold of, toys, chip clips, etc) and stand up as much as possible.  She has been sleeping pretty good lately but has been getting up once a time to eat and then back to bed.  She continues to grow like a weed and I think she is getting longer each day....she doesn't seem very chubby anymore either!
 
Weather is cold here again, but we did have a couple of days of great weather with temps in the mid to high 30s.  Guess that is what we have to deal with for winter in Wisconsin!!   Well I better get some stuff done around the house while she is napping.  Hope you all have a great week this week!!

Such a big girl already!
