The last few months have been a whirlwind of starting my third year in residency, preparing for Chris to deploy, and settling in to our new life with Lyndsay (our new nanny). Everyone has really adjusted well. As a now senior resident I have to take a more leadership role which has its good and bad side. Scary, mean, demanding, and sometimes bitchy Dawn definitely comes out at times but i try to balance out with encouragement and appreciation. So far i have gotten good evaluations from my attendings.
Ava is amazing as always. She has completely transitioned to normal food and drinks one bottle a day (only because i want to use up my remaining formula). She mostly drinks from a sippy cup with milk or water. She, like cousin Sophie stands alone, says about 5 or 6 words, and is so close to walking!!!
Our new nanny Lyndsay is doing a great job and we both love her. She makes my life so much easier which allows me to spend more time with Ava. She is also good company for me as we have a lot in common. While we all miss Chris, I think we are going to be ok this year. As you can see below, Lyndsay and Ava have been having lots of fun together.
Now that Lyndsay is with us, Ava stays home two or three days a week. We have been working on getting her on a more regular schedule and also adding in play-pen time and learning time. They definitely get plenty of play time in too.
