Pictures from Nana

We call Danica's sitter Nana. And today she gave me a special surprise of sending me pictures of Danica. I thought I should share them with you because what can I say--she is a pretty darn cute kid. Plus I want everyone to recognize that I am not the only person she won't smile for--although I did take some pictures this morning to show you all her new carseat (those will hopefully be posted after work)--and she did almost smile in one. :)

Yes it is true--there is beautiful soft grass but no my daughter wants to play in the rocks:
And just try to get her to smile--she won't:

Okay maybe a very little bit:
This one I am sure she is smiling. 1) She isn't looking at the camera and 2) I am pretty sure she knows she isn't supposed to be getting on that bike.
What can I say--my little darling is quite a character. :)

First Day Back

Today was my first day back to work--and my first day taking Danica to the sitter for the day. It was so hard to leave her there--even though I really like her sitter (who will be known from now on as Nana) and Danica didn't get upset as I was leaving. But it was still hard.

But throughout the day Nana said that Danica was very good--she only got fussy towards the end of the day and part of that fussiness seemed to be that she was tired of eating out of a bottle. But Nana and the other girls in the house seemed to be quite taken with our little girl.

And work was good. It kind of stunk because both of my supervisors were out of the office today so there were quite a few things I couldn't do because I wasn't sure how things have changed (I just know that with the budget issues there have been lots of changes).

So overall the day was okay--but I will be so glad when I get to be with her all day tomorrow. February is going to be so hard because I will be back to work full time.
