So tired

Well, we made it. One week of daycare done. We all did great.

The soccer game went well. I had a student volunteer to watch Reina during the game, so after a LOOOONG faculty meeting I went to get Reina (this was Tuesday), and then brought her out to the field (Mike Petty). She got a little fussy, so I "wore" her in the wrap...and she went to sleep almost immediately. She slept the ENTIRE game all the while we were screaming and yelling at the girls on the field. Of course she didn't sleep too well that night. So I might continue to do that for home games. We'll see.

Its nice on the weekend now since we get to spend all day with Reina. She tends to be sleepy after daycare so we don't get to "play" with her much. But this weekend she's been nothing but smiling. Check out the video (bummer that we had the TV so loud..eh?)...you might have to squint to see it! Its a little on the small side.

We have two more weeks till Aunt Liz and Uncle Mike get here. We're all pretty excited. Hopefully it will warm up so we can get to the beach.

Daycare

So,
Reina had her first day in daycare. I definitely was more anxious then she was. When I went to pick her up, the two Japanese ladies reported that she smiled a lot....and pooped quite a bit (was that normal, they asked?). I said yes! So, I feel good about that...although I put Reina in the wrap and have been "wearing" her while I wash bottles, and she is conked out, so I'm thinking maybe she didn't sleep as good as she does here. AND they gave me this cute little book with every diaper change, bottle feeding and nap she took. Japanese people are so cute - and they were all happy to hear that I WANT them to speak nothing but Japanese to her!

Chris and I have our first girls game tomorrow. We're both excited. One of my students volunteered to watch her (she was SO excited), so that will be another first for Reina. I imagine she'll be doted on the whole time. More later...I have a video of Reina smiling and playing with a toy. Its cute (more for the grandparents). Hopefully I'll get it up soon...maybe now if Reina keeps sleeping.

Playing Dress Up

So, Grand-dad and Romeni have been here for just about a week (they leave this sunday) and of course we've taken several pictures. AND they got to take Reina to her two month check up. She is doing great...except...she's average. Actually this is a good thing. Her height and weight were both in the 50th percentile and her head size was in the 75th percentile - so she's going to be smart of course! All else looked good according to the doc.

Reina has enjoyed the new set of "babysitters" and is hopefully ready for next week where she'll start her daycare off base (yikes!). I'll add a new slideshow to the left, but here are some of my favorites...yes Romeni and I dressed her up so she's got pink down now...and look how "girly" she looks. Chris said we shouldn't dress her up cause it makes her look older, and we don't want her to look older (or get older so I'm told!).
