He's Back! He's Back!

I am pretty sure that Olivia and I spent a half hour outside waiting for Mike to pull up to the house. Car after car after car.... nothing. There were so many white cars that drove by! And of course, the moment that Olivia desiderate to eat a twig is the moment that Mike pulls up. I cannot even begin to explain the flood of emotions that came next. 

What was even now wonderful was seeing Olivia's reaction. She loves her daddy so much and knew who he was the moment she set eyes on him! He has lost some weight and now has facial hair and she did not hesitate for a moment and wanted to be in his arms. They are the CUTEST when they are together <3 <3

Mike suprised me by saying that not only does he have Friday off, but he has Saturday off as well! Thank you Lord! That means that we get him all day tomorrow and until about noon on Saturday. I get to snuggle with someone tonight and Olivia gets to have her daddy back as her morning nap snuggler.

Olivia had pasta for dinner. Yay! It took me a little bit to get her to try it. Unfortunately, most of the green beans ended up on the ground. The rest of the remained untouched on her tray. It is all trial and error when feeding babies. I also feel like it is taking two steps forward and then one step back. Two steps forward and one step back. Is she having too any solids? Should I be go in her more finger food? Is she getting enough water? How am I doing on the variety in her diet? Well, the answer to the last one is: not very good. But I'm working on it! Slowly but surely  I'm getting there. And what do new parents do when the baby is down? Date night of course! Shared homemade nachos and some sparkling cider :-) I may not post tomorrow but that is because I want to give my husband all my attention while I have him for a short while.
