4 Months Old

Oh my, I cannot believe my little baby is 4 months old today. Thinking about these past 4 months brings a wave of emotions to the forefront of my mind. The scared, anxiety, sleep deprived first time mom of a 1 month old occasionaly still visits, but it's mostly the hurried, gotta get things done while Calan's taking a nap mom that's here now. My little boy is such a sweet soul and I love it when he awakes from his nap or in the morning, as he (usually) has a great big grin on his face. Calan is definitely his father's son in the looks department, but he's a mixed bag on the personality front. Stubborn like Neils (okay, me too), headstrong like me, definitely likes to be the center of attention (me again) and an all around cute, smiley, mostly happy baby (a lot of Neils in there). I love my little boy oh so much and am both looking forward to and dreading returning to the travel portion of my job in January. I have been working from home since Nov. 2nd, so it will be a transition to be out of the house 3 days a week. We are lucky to have family (Aunt Abbe and Grandma Sidne) look after Calan 2 days a week and have found a wonderful nanny for another day and a half. Maybe the nanny (over 25 years of experience caring for infants) will be able to get Calan to nap longer in his crib!! :) I will post pics and his 4 month stats later after he wakes from his 1st afternoon nap.
