Separation Anxiety

This past weekend we had our annual overnight Women's Retreat with my church. I did go, and I did stay the night. I really missed my little girl, but it was a good time and I'm really glad I went.

Yesterday was my first day back to work...and also Naomi's 3 month birthday. Big day here in our house! I am only working part time and managed to work a day when Adam was off, so it was a pretty easy transition going back and knowing she was home with her daddy. They also called me a couple of times and left me voice messages of Naomi "talking". She is talking like crazy now, it is so fun. She has a swing with a toy zebra on the tray and she will sit and just talk and talk to that little thing. It's hilarious. Yesterday Adam finally got to hear her laugh too, he was pretty excited. I'm hoping eventually I can get some video's of her on here...we'll see.

I have to get ready to run some errands, but hopefully I can post more soon!


How quickly the smiles can turn to tears. Seriously, in an instant!
She's multi-talented. Sucking her fingers and picking her nose at the same time!

She Laughed!

Naomi LAUGHED for the first time on Tuesday! It's crazy how I notice all the little things now that it's all happening with my own child...and how all of the little things are now HUGE milestones. For example, it started with smiling when she was just under a month and a half old. Then, shortly after that she started cooing. She's lately been finding her voice more and more, sometimes "talking" loudly, sometimes cooing quietly, sometimes sounding upset while "talking", sometimes excited and almost squealing...and now, LAUGHING. I love it. She only did it the one time so far though...I can't wait for her to do it again and hopefully Adam can hear it this time.

Some other "landmarks" / firsts:
-Rolling from her side to her back
-Scooting / wiggling up or down in her crib (she always used to just stay where you put her, now when I go see her in the morning, she's sometimes turned all around, or all the way up at the head of the bed).
-Intentionally hitting at toys hanging in front of her

Here's the little peanut awestruck by her favorite (mine too!) Elmo toy:
