11 Weeks

Yesterday my son turned 11 weeks old. When I see the "new" babies now I can't believe that he was ever that small. The way he has changed is subtle day to day but dramatic when viewing the difference in pictures. He smiles and laughs easily now and is rolling to his side. He used to be great at tummy time and push himself up on his elbows but now he will just lay there and suck on his hand (which seems to be his favorite thing to do).

He had his first shots recently and developed a fever. I felt so bad for this little person who was feeling awful and didn't understand why. It didn't help that we had flew that same day. I won't make that mistake again.

I go back to work next week. I am looking forward to not having to care for someone all the time but I'll also miss him so much. I cried to my husband this morning at the thought of leaving my beautiful baby behind. I'm afraid that no one can take care of him like I can. He will be happy playing with the other kids and the activities seem to be fun though. Also, I know I need to get back to the real world. My brain is turning to mush.
