Catching some smiles

Today is the last official day of my maternity leave.  Where did the time go?  I went into work yesterday to get clients scheduled (and to do some paperwork I meant to do after the 11th in the week I thought I would be able to work) and it felt great to be back!  It was nice to see my coworkers, startling to note how much can change in 6 weeks, and a relief to have adult conversations in the daytime.  I really am excited to get back into things.

However, as is inevitable, I did miss Willa (the babysitter came to meet her and we did a quick trial run, so I was able to go into the office for an hour).  With that in mind, I made two videos today to watch if I get lonely for her at work.  Hope you like them!

The first one was shot during her most wakeful, happy time in the morning.  I put her on a quilt and played her favorite Pandora station, then let the camera roll.  At one point Roxy came in, a little lonesome and jealous of the attention Willa was getting, I think.  She got pretty in-our-faces :-).

The second one was shot after lunch, before her afternoon nap when she can also be pretty chatty.  I tried to get her to smile by doing various things with my face, like sticking out my tongue, making silly noises, and smiling.  She smiled a little, but mostly furrowed her brow at her crazy mom.  So fun!

I'm sure I will watch these on many long afternoons at office, hope you enjoy them too!
