Mandi's first day back at work

Well, I survived my first day back at work. Jacob went with me to drop him off for moral support and it went off without a hitch. There was a cute little "welcome back" sign hanging in my office with my co-worker's signatures on it when I returned. It was really nice! I was actually kind of enjoying my adult time and did really good all morning. But then I looked down and saw that it wasn't even noon yet, I really started to wonder if I could stick it out until 3pm. Jacob and I carpooled and if he wouldn't have been there, I think I might have caved and left earlier than 3pm! But I got a bit busier after lunch and the next time I looked down at the clock, it was already 2:30...time to start wrapping up. If I can keep the 9-3 schedule going, I really think I will be happy with the arrangement.

Mitchell received a glowing report from Lindsey (the gal watching him for us). He is continuing to spread out the times between feedings and naps, in fact he only ate 4 times today! That is a definite first. Maybe his chubby little rolls will start disappearing one by one. Now don't get me wrong, I don't want them all to go away, but I think he could lose a few :)

I'm not sure that I blogged this yet - but Mitchell started LAUGHING on Easter Sunday for the first time. Oh, it is ADORABLE! He did it once or twice Sunday morning, but when we were giving him a bath on Sunday afternoon, he did it a bunch right in a row. Jacob ran to grab the video camera to try to capture it, but we couldn't make him do it on que. Anyway, when we picked Mitchell up, Lindsey was telling us about how he was laughing at her...and that was the first time I REALLY wished that I would've been with him instead of at work. We brought him home and I tried desperately to make him laugh for me....but to no avail...even during his bath. Doesn't he know that he's supposed to save his laughs for me!?!?! :(
