Taking a break from work

Since I am having a hard time focusing on work today and I happen to be at home, I thought I would take a few minutes to dump my brain and share some new pictures. Cory and I just celebrated our third wedding anniversay by going to a nice dinner at Elways- what an amazing meal!!! Alexis is crazy with her rolling over now although she is still less than excited when she gets to her belly for too long. Cute during the day, not so cute in the middle of the night. At least she has started learning to just sleep on her belly if she is going to keep rolling over on it. She is laughing all the time and loves to join me when I am laughing. That might be the most amazing sound in the world! :o) She is getting much better at getting things to her mouth the first time she tries and she has started sucking her thumb more consistently although she tends to default to the whole fist when she doesn't get the thumb separated quick enough.
My work has been going well. Lots of changes there and I am not enjoying getting up at 4:00am but is sure is nice being done by 2:30pm. My first week of school went well and I am hoping that trend continues for the next 7 weeks (well, the next 5 sessions really!). In addition to knowing the moment that I am starting to eat, get comfotable in bed, or start to drift away for a quick nap, Alexis also knows the exact minute that I sign on to the computer. It is amazing how she knows all of that. At least she also knows exactly when I need a smile/laugh/cuddle too. Her and daddy are always great at making me laugh when I need it. I have a great video of those two playing peek-a-boo if I can ever figure out how to load it.
This morning, after a night of not a lot of sleep (see above frustration with rolling over in the middle of the night and then being pissy), I had a horrible morning of work. I took my morning break to nurse the baby and get a happy thought. She smiled all big when I went in to get her and I felt so much better. Then she took it one more step and to make sure I remembered her while she was playing with Auntie Jae today, she had a blowout diaper while we were eating and then while I was getting up to clean us up, she puked down my shirt. Funny how even all that makes me smile :o) What a crazy little girl! Gotta love her!
