25 weeks!

Rose is now 25 weeks old - just over a week shy of 6 months! Can you believe that six months ago today we were wondering when she would ever arrive and how we'd fair on the transition to parenthood?!

Mike took off for a conference in Chicago this morning, and my parents got to town late this afternoon. I was worried about how I'd handle a week of single parenting (especially given her terrible sleep earlier this week!), so I'm so thankful that they're here! My dad asked for a list of projects he could complete for us, and they already made a wonderful dinner. And it turns out to be especially good timing because Rose is now running a fever (102.4 at 6pm) so she wouldn't have been able to go to school tomorrow anyway. Whew! So thankful for our families: my parents will be with Rose M, T, and W, then Rose gets to spend Thursday with her Grammy, and Mike will be back late Thursday evening so he can spend all day with her on Friday (her school is closed Th and F for staff development).

Here are the photos we took of Rose this morning. She was a bit grumpy from illness (hence the multiple changes in props), but still sat unassisted for the entire portrait session! She may not have any interest in rolling, but she sure loves to sit!



Fingers crossed for better sleep again tonight!
