Hello

Hello!


We’ve been so busy since the last blog. Grandma Jill came to visit Rosaleen for week (they had a great time). Mommy had to start back to work part-time, so Grandma Jill took care of Rosaleen while mommy went to work. This was very sad for mommy, but Rosa didn’t seem to mind. After Grandma Jill left, daddy started family leave from his job for a month to take care of Rosaleen while mommy is at work. He and Rosa are having a great time together, but they were happy to have Grandma Janet and Grandpa Bob here for a few days to help.









Yesterday Grandpa Pat and Gerrie came to visit too! Rosaleen got to pull on Grandpa Pat’s mustache, which I am sure she loved, because she LOVES to pull hair.










Not only did Rosa have lots of visitors, but also on July 20th she started to be able to sit by herself and then on Saturday she had some rice cereal, which she loved! It has been so busy I haven’t had time to blog (I blame it on work).



Rosa is doing great. She is always happy to see me when I get home, but luckily she doesn’t seem to mind when I leave in the morning. Going back to work has been hard, but manageable. However, I am only working 9 to 2 right now. Starting Sept. 1st, I am supposed to start back to a full-time schedule. Uggg. I can’t even think about it. I won’t get home until after 5:30 and Rosaleen goes to bed at 8. I really can’t think about it yet.



Daddy’s family leave ends on Aug 20th. When he goes back to work he is going part-time, and Rosa is going to start daycare part-time. The daycare that we found is very close to my work, so I can pop in to say hi (or nurse) hopefully everyday. It is a Montessori day care and she will be in the infant room. The infant room has lots of windows and lots of mirrors (Rosa loves the mirror). The teachers all seem happy to be there and there is a full-time RN in the room. With Ben’s schedule, hopefully she will be there only 20 hours per week or less. I do think she will like it, although I am very sad that I won’t be there with her. Who knows, maybe I will quit my job and become a Montessori teacher.



I made a boo-boo and all the Grandma Jill pictures are on Grandma Jill’s cameraL

    Little Rosaleen is so much fun and a real joy to be around. Mommy was soo brave when she went back to work...I was very proud of her. It was tough for her but she was a real trooper! Rosaleen is so lucky to have had Mommy home with her and now she has Daddy! And I would love it if she had Grandma & Grandpa Villa close enough to stay with her, but that "dunb" work thing keeps getting in the way! However Rosaleen is VERY social and she will enjoy herself at day care! Rosa is a true joy and Banana misses her very much. Boy, Rosaleen did have mucho company! Hope you guys get some down time. Love to all - give Rosa lots of kisses for us!!
    God Bless,
    Hugs & Kisses

Rosaleen Grace McLernon is here!

Hi all, it's Ben.  I told Sunny I would never blog…so... Here are a few pictures of MY DAUGHTER! She is so perfect! I cannot believe she is here and I can hold her. Sunny is the best mommy ever and we are having so much fun and love with little Rosaleen. Now I know what it feels like. Parents always say they cannot describe how it feels. Well, I really can’t either. Words don’t express enough. Rosaleen is perfect, sweet, beautiful, HUNGRY (eats like a little barracuda), wonderful, great...I can go on! She will make you cry if you look at her face to long, just warning you. Sunny’s water broke at 12:30 a.m. on February 11. We had nothing ready to go. Sunny called her mom, while I packed everything in like 30 seconds. We weren’t expecting her to come and surprise us for Valentines Day. We finally got to the hospital at around 2 a.m. I watched the entire delivery and it was amazing. As soon as she was here, the midwife placed her on Sunny’s chest and we got her all to our se...

12 week ultrasound picture

Attached is the 12 week ultrasound picture that I mentioned in the previous post. You can see above the head is a hand and if you zoom in you can even see fingers. To the other side, up above the baby you see a little thing. That is a foot. In the ultrasound the baby was kicking her legs and moving-- put when the picture was taken, the leg was out of sight, so you just see the foot up top. But I promise- that is a little footsie. SO CUTE! In other news, my very sweet mother sent me a set of new maternity clothes today—AND I really need them. I had to wear a suit to work today for a meeting- and it was terrible. I had rubber bands and safety pins holding up my pants but it still wasn’t working. By the time the end of the day came I was so stressed and uncomfortable I couldn’t take it. What a perfectly timed surprise to find new clothes on my door step. Thanks Mom.

Lazy Summer (not)

Sitting up in the back yard!  It has been a busy week here. Rosa has not been sleeping great.  Last night she fell asleep next to daddy with a hand full of his hair.  The car has been in the shop all week. They still can't seem to fix it right.  Rosaleen is almost a pro at rolling all over the place. Once you put her down, she doesn’t stay put for long. Also, her attention span is starting to get a little longer, so she can occupy herself for longer periods of time—maybe 20 minutes or so on a good day.  If she drops something she will look down looking for it and can follow things around now.  Her favorite things to watch are Fred (the cat) and Casha (the dog).  She squeels in delight when she sees Casha. We are still giving Rosa rice cereal.  Yesterday Ben gave her sweet peas. She loved them.  There is a video of her eating at the bottom. MMMMMMMMM!  Ben and Rosa are still staying home ...
