Dad goes back to work

Sorry it has been so long since an update we've been busy and there are so many pictures its hard to pick which ones to post. We'll try to update more often so it is less difficult to decide on pictures.

Cassidy and I were lucky enough to have Brian home the first week and then he only had to work 3 days last week. It was really nice, but unfortunately he is now back at work full-time. Cassidy and I are trying to figure out a routine for our days because we definitely miss him now that he's back to work.

Yesterday we began taking walks and are trying to get in at least two good walks a day, it gets us out of the house and helps us keep our sanity. Cassidy is such a great baby that I really could take her anywhere and we feel very fortunate for that. We're struggling at night since she thinks nighttime is a great time to be awake, but last night we went 3 hours without waking and waited until the 4:00 a.m. feeding to decide it was time to be up for the day.

And now what you all really want....more pictures.
Cassidy at her first doctor's appointment (1 week old) she was back to birth weight already which was great news. Unfortunately, she was hungry at the appointment so our usually very content baby was very unhappy.Grandma Kitson was watching cousin Carly for a week while her parents were on vacation so we went for a visit. Carly likes Cassidy and gives her nice hugs. We're sure by next summer they'll be great friends.
Grandma and Grandpa Gerken came to our house for a visit, we'll post pictures with Grandpa later, we have to get some of those.Cassidy got to go check out Dad's work. She slept through most of the visit, but he was very excited to show her off.Cassidy and Gretchen are becoming fast friends, and Gretchen will like her even more when she can throw her ball for her. For now they sometimes nap together and Gretchen watches over her whenever someone comes for a visit.

Well that's it for now, we'll be sure to update more often as Cassidy continues to grow and change every day.
