Work interrupted

Since I last posted a blog item, Elise has learned to crawl, peel carrots and play Scrabble.
OK, we're not that far yet, but she is building up her neck muscles through "tummy time," so my guess is she's going to be an early crawler. That's great, except this house is not yet set up for a crawler. ("You mean I can't leave tools on the floor anymore?")
It's been about a week since this blog last was updated. You know what gets in the way of blogging? A job.
After about two and a half weeks at home, I went back to work Monday. That kinda sucked. The job is good, but one could get used to being at home full time. Of course, I'm not the one who should be complaining. Anni had to play Single Mom for about two days because of my work schedule and a major development in our upstairs remodel -- we're insulated! -- but she did really well.
Elise is now three weeks and a day. She looks different from the day she was born -- she lost her newborn chubby cheeks and seems to be getting longer. She looks much older than just three weeks.
On average, she's feeding about once every three hours, but just when we think we've got her scheduled figured out, she decides to sleep through a feeding or ask for seconds an hour after an hour-long feast.
She's starting to grow out of some of her newborn clothes. I can relate because it's kind of like how I have grown out of pants from three years ago. Thanks a lot, ice cream.
