Well it has been 4 months and a lot has happened during that time. At the beginning of February I went back to work. It was definitely hard but the daycare maddie goes to has been wonderful. Maddie has grown quite a bit and has some new tricks up her sleeve. She is now rolling over from tummy to back pretty consistently and has added in rolling from her back to her tummy. And she is quite the talker. I know with jym and I as her parents it shouldn't be surprising but it is super cute. She of course smiles a lot more now and has even started to laugh a bit. It's absolutely adorable and I love the gummy smiles.
She's normally a very happy baby which is great and makes our lives a lot easier. We're working on having her sleep in her crib. Last night we tried the cry it out method. I decided after an hour (and she fell asleep but kept waking up and crying) that I did not like that method and was going to do a different method. So we are trying the no-cry method. It will probably take longer but in the grand scheme fo things I'd rather take a few more weeks/months to get her to sleep through the night then to have to listen to her wail.
I'm sure it will have it's ups and downs but it's something I'm a lot more comfortable with and I think will work with our personalities.
And because it's been a while here are some new pictures of Maddie
