We have a nanny!

This month Mindy started coming in to watch Tatiana during the day, allowing Sarah to return to medical school and allowing me to keep my home office a home office instead of a home office/nursery.

As Sarah noted in her last post, it’s really hard to hand littlebabygirl over to someone else in the morning, but it’s somthing that our lives necessitate.

It’s still nice to work from a home office, though–every hour or so, I can pop my head out, say hi to littlebabygirl, and get back to work. I think it’s nice for her to have some continuity with me and Sarah, and it’s nice for me to be able to go out, see her smiling face and lend a little perspective to my day.

In the meantime, Tatiana has learned a new batch of tricks:

1. Sleeps on her side!

2. Rolls onto her tummy!

3. Sleeps on her tummy!

4. Sing-a-long with Daddy!

5. Looks at us and cries when she wants something instead of just crying. (Actually, she cries very little these days: When she’s overtired, or when she’s rolled over onto her tummy and doesn’t want to be there anymore.)

(And, of course, we have more pictures up at flickr. We probably update that much more frequently than the blog, lately…)
