Vacation Day

We have President's Day off so we spent the morning at the pediatrician's for Ellie's next well baby. She isn't a total well baby as she has a sinus infection. She's been coughing so badly that her last meal comes up. Poor baby. The rest of her seems to be doing fine. She's only gained 2 ounces in the last month but grown almost an inch. Her receptive language is coming along nicely for just hearing English for two months and being almost 14 months old (wow!)...and I say that as speech-language therapist and not just a doting mom! Yup, Valentine's day was the two month marker for having Ellie with me. I love her to pieces. It seems like she's been around much longer. I am sooo looking forward to summer when I can spend more time with her. I feel like I'm missing out on things she's learning but then again, she's probably learning them because she's hanging out with my mom!!
We're starting to get into a routine with me back at work but I still preferred the one we had when I was on leave! Who wouldn't?
Speaking of work, the school is throwing me a baby shower Wednesday which is very, very kind of them. This is my first year at this school (switched after 5 years at my last) and I've already been gone just over a month due to China/maternity leave. It should be lots of fun and my mom is dropping off Ellie to "show off." We feel Ellie is pretty firmly attached at this point but will keep an eye out for any out of the ordinary behaviors.
The area finally got a sprinkling of snow today and if it's not gonna snow enough for a day off we should just march right on into spring/summer! Let's get a move on with nice weather, vacation time and more referrals! =)
In the meantime I wanted to share a link to a very mellow and cool band. I went to college (drama degree) with the lead singer. She's got an amazing voice. Enjoy!
