A week without my baby

I spent all of last week without my little girl. I know you would think that I would have found the time to blog, but truth be told, I was a slacker.

I spent my first day without her in a total funk. I went grocery shopping & it wasn't the same without her. I enjoy taking her grocery shopping with me. She squeals with delight as I push the cart around. She doesn't ask for things at all. She just wants to hold the list, which is fine with me as long as she will show it to me so I can get everything on it.

The second day I was out of my funk because we checked on her the night before and she was doing fine & having fun with her grandparents. I got all sorts of errands run & checked out the new house, though I did take one of the dogs with me as I did these things.

All week long whenever I went anywhere I kept checking the back seat for my baby girl. It always made me sad that she was not there, but at the same time happy that I do check for her especially with the hot weather.

I kept the house clean & took a few naps since I didn't have a toddler to chase after. I did get to go out with the hubby for dinner twice while she was gone plus we went to a festival one night too. It was a pretty boring life without my baby for a week, but I survived

By the time it was Saturday I was ready to go claim my baby & spend an ton of time with her. We went to go pick her up & my baby was stunned to see us standing in Grandma's kitchen! She would not let me out of her sight & I got a million hugs & kisses! I loved it!

Since her homecoming we have spent a ton of time together. She grew at least an inch since she was gone & her hair is definitely thicker! She is putting together 4 word sentences too! I can't believe it!
