Day 93: Daddy's Girl, Redux

Michal is so clearly her daddy's girl.  She lights up when he enters the room, her arms and legs pumping with excitement.  I was able to catch this adorable moment this morning before leaving for work, as he gave her a morning bottle.  It's obvious the feeling is mutual, made all the clearer with Josh reluctantly leaving for Los Angeles this afternoon for a work trip.  While there is a certain novelty to work travel, since neither of us do it with much regularity, it is always difficult leaving for a week.  Even more so with a 7 1/2 month old growing and changing with every moment.  Michal proved that by making her first attempts to pull up to standing, shocking me and making me a bit sad that he was missing these baby steps to a big new trick.


After we dropped Josh off at the airport, we headed home where we took Bailey for a nice long walk, basking in the warming of quickly (we hope!) approaching Spring. 

I enjoyed this view, especially as she kicked her feet here and there.  Michal only has a few pairs of shoes so far - these courtesy of her friend n - and these are among my favorites of the new arrivals.  

This one CRACKS me up.  It's totally a sneak preview of surly teen years.

Just one last quick photo from late last night (technically this morning).  Michal is definitely a tummy sleeper these days, and this shot was too cute to miss.
