What a difference one month makes. Now that we are back home, readjusted to the Denver time and getting on with normal life, we are finally able to see this beautiful child and get to know her more everyday. I now see her as inquisitive and easy-going. She is funny and always thinking and making new connections in her world. The tantrums are mostly gone now that we are communicating better. She still throws fits when she doesn't get her way. What 2 year old doesn't?
She is a great sleeper and a great eater. She loves bathtime and loves brushing her teeth. Her comfort item is a towel and she is occasionally up to mischief. Like the time she rinsed out her toothbrush in the toilet, or the time she decided to throw her scrambled eggs all over the house. She harasses her sister to no end, and then turns around and gives her a big hug as if to say, "Don't take it personally. I'm just doing my job." She lights up when daddy comes home and rushes to hug him!
I'm finishing my first week alone with the 2 kids as Corin went back to work. Overall it went very well. The hardest part has been Riley. She is having a tough time having to share me with another little person. (how come I was never this popular in High School?) She is really acting out lately. She starts full-day Kindergarten next week and I think it's just what she needs. A little space and something to call her own.
Here are a few more picture from Family Day, one month ago!

Congrats, sounds like things are going well and you are all beginning to adjust!
And are you feeling better now?
Isn't it amazing that its ALREADY been a month? And that its ONLY been a month? :) Glad to hear that she is settling in so well and coming around to liking her BaBa! Can't wait to meet her.
I can't believe its been a month. I love hearing the good news about bonding with daddy!
