Back to the routine...

So I am back to work full time now...and my first week went relatively well. I cried after a few hours - but regained my composure and my boss let me leave at 3:30 so that I could ease into things. I tried to leave at a decent hour on Thursday - but I guess my head is still a little bit all over the place trying to get everything done that I didn't realize I left my computer at work. I turned aorund to get it - adding an hour to my commute. So now - hopefully I will never do that again. Lavi had a tough first day with Ari - but the 2nd day was much easier for him and I am sure it will only get easier with time. They will be best friends, I'm sure. Ari has had an amazing week. He is definitely laughing more now and squeals with happiness occasionally (this is a new sound he is trying). He watches Baby Einstein and I am fascinated with his awareness level. He truly loves the scenes with the puppets. Every time a puppet dances across the screen he laughs. I am amazed at the consistency he displays with his preferences, as the same stuff gets his attention over and over. Ari also rolled over this week! He has had a lot of tummy time lately and has shown a lot of strength with lifting his head and shuffling his body. He seriously looks like he is going to crawl. He actually moves his body from one spot to another. I am guessing that within the week this rolling may happen a few more times - if we make sure to get him on his tummy. He is also semi-reaching for objects which is a new step as well. He stares the objects down, as if he can will them to levitate or something. But then you will notice that a hand darts across the scene, and he concentrates so hard. 12 weeks - and he is turning a corner! He was at the pediatric cardiologist this morning to look over his heart murmur, which is something we will need to monitor as time goes on - but nothing to worry about too much right now. He grew to 23 inches long, and weighs 11lb 13oz. All in all - we are all adjusting to the new routine and hopefully things continue to go smoothly.
