- The end of my maternity leave
- The beginning of daycare
- His first cold :(
- His first successful roll over
Interestingly, 3 of these milestones are linked together ... wonder if you can guess which ones they are?!
Isaac will be going to daycare on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Lucky for me, it's right across the street from work so I can run over and nurse him when time allows or get some extra hugs when I am feeling the need. We started his daycare transition this last week. This included being with him at the facility for a few hours each day so he could acquaint himself with the room and so the staff could get a feel for his personality. A couple of the first comments we got were, 1) he is cute, and 2) he has a very strong set of lungs. Doh!
On Wednesday and Thursday, I put him down for a nap in his daycare crib and left (a trial run of leaving him alone). Isaac has never been a crib napper, almost all of his naps occur on my lap or in the baby carrier after a walk. I can probably count on one hand how many times he has napped in his crib. So when I left, I had a feeling that he wouldn't stay down and of course, when I came back both days he was crying. Poor baby.
The other thing about Isaac is that he is REALLY hard to get to sleep. It usually involves 5-30 min of soothing (swaddling, shhing, holding sideways, etc). I don't know if the daycare staff have the time or numbers to devote to getting him down and keeping him down (it often takes a couple tries). I have a feeling he may spend a lot of time crying. :( This transition to daycare is going to be rough, on all of us!
Isaac got his first minor cold this week, most likely from the few hours we spent at daycare b/c I got it too. Bad timing since I start work in two days. He is pretty congested and has been a bit fussier and less playful. Frankly, as with most things related to having a newborn, I think his cold has been more stressful for me!
The other exciting news is that Isaac rolled over while doing tummy time on Friday! He has yet to do it again but we'll keep trying. It was so cute!

He's bigger than your bear now!! Where did that adorable sweater hoodie come from?
I am suspicious, in the second picture, that he is in fact walking already.
Holy cow he is big!
