Coming Changes

A good opportunity has come along, and I have accepted a full-time job starting next week. So it's back to engineering, and away from video and photography, at least as the main gig. With T working also, that means we are suddenly in the market for child care in the very near future! We are quickly learning about the various options. The thought of handing over our darling baby into someone else's care is a bit daunting, but of course it's just the same for so many other parents as well.

In other news, little RR had her 4-month checkup today and seems to be doing just fine (apart from not liking the shots very much). When the doctor asked about tummy time, we tried to show how RR hates that exercise, fussing within moments of being put on her tummy. So we set her down, as she smiled up at us.... and smiled... and smiled... The doctor laughed and said this often happens.

Congrats on the new job! Though, I'm sure you'll miss the more flexible hours and time with RR. I'm having similar pangs about leaving our little guy. The good thing though, is that <6 months is a great time to transition RR into care. After that, separation anxiety sets in.

One of the ladies at mom group said that tummy time happiness often is dependent on the firmness of the surface. She said gym mat firmness is good with most babies(apparently doctor's table firmness is good too!).

You are right! We tried a thin foam camping pad over a tile floor and she was much happier with it. Previously we'd had a soft play mat over a rug on a carpet.
