Well, this week has been kind of hard on me, but Alana has made it through just as happy as can be. I had to go back to work for the last week of school after my maternity leave ended. I really hated leaving her, but knew she was in the best hands, those of her mormor (my mother, mormor is Norwegian for mother’s mother). The week actually went by pretty quickly and Lanie didn’t seem too bothered by my absence. I think it bothered me more than her. I’m just glad it’s over and I get to spend the whole summer at home with her! That has to be the best thing about being a teacher!<\/p>\n
As for Alana, she has been smiling up a storm. She gets these huge whole face smiles and her eyes just light up even more than usual. I caught one on film, but she’s not one for doing things on command, and really the picture just doesn’t even do her justice! I know I am prejudiced, but I think we have the cutest. most adorable baby in the whole world! <\/p>\n
I posted some new photos in the “I’m six weeks old!’ folder so I hope you will all check them out. I love the comments everyone is leaving and hope you will continue to do so!<\/p>\n
