It amazes me how quickly Lyla Belle is changing. She can clearly see farther and notices faces a lot more. She will watch Matt and I walk around and notice where we are in the room. When we smile at her she will now do a half smile and kind of look away in the cutest bashful way. Her little eyes light up when she smiles. A unknown amount of time has been spent trying to find what makes her smile. Funny faces and a stuffed moose whom I have given the personality of the overzealous new best friend that wants to tell Lyla about everything and talks non-stop. I can't say that she finds the personality I have given the moose funny, but perhaps the continuous shaking of him that makes his ears move. I'll take it though, it lets me see that beautiful smile of hers.
In the beginning of February I am going to be going back to work full time. Now is the time to get everything ready for the farmers' market so I am going into work on Monday mornings just for a few hours and then working for a few hours at home. I have quickly realized that I am not meant to work from home. Send me to an office and I am the hardest worker there. Let me stay home to work and could care less about the task at hand. I would make zero dollars stuffing envelopes from home. I am forcing myself to get some things done though. Matt is going to stay home with Lyla Belle once I go back to work. We are pretty determined to make sure we stay home with her. If it means a few sacrifices here and there, then it is totally worth it. Things always work out one way or another, so I am not too worried about it. I could not even fathom dropping her off somewhere right now- I haven't even used the monitor we have to be in another room yet- let alone across town. I do think that it is going to be interesting for me to go to work everyday while Matt is home caring for Lyla- we will see what lessons and shifts in thinking this will hold.
