So Peter and I have just finished our first week of having swapped roles. He is now home with Jennifer full-time and doing some consulting and I now work full-time at InService America as an Account Executive. It was been quite a transition for each of us. I think it was harder on Peter than on me. Leaving Jennifer at home wasn't has hard as I thought it would be. Of course it really helps that I know she is well taken care of by Peter. It is a little hard putting her to bed at 8:00 (just 2 1/2 hours after getting home). But today is Saturday and I didn't plan anything on purpose. I am just enjoying the day with my daughter while Peter is at work. It really helps not having to worry about the house while I am home.
So thing are changing with Jennifer. She is in the process of getting her first teeth in. The past few days have been spent with a clingy child, giving her tylenol and orajel. Just the other week she also started sitting up by herself. Its so nice to sit her on the floor with toys and be able to go to the kitchen knowing that she will be just fine playing. Two weeks ago we also dedicated Jennifer to God at our church. She has also started rolling over in her crib. The picture here is how we found her a couple of weeks ago when we went to wake her up one morning. Jennifer is now eating more solid foods and we are trying sippy cups with her every now and then. It has been pretty unsuccessful for the most part, but we will keep trying it. Right now she likes to hold it, but doesn't really want to drink from it.
Finally Peter and I are in the process of getting rid of items we no longer need. We have already made over $100 on ebay with a lot more items to go. It is quite enlightening and cleansing to get getting rid of this stuff.
The final picture is a gorgeous view of fall from our living room window. I just love this area and getting to truly experience nature here.
