Thankfully, Lola agreed to come to San Diego to take care of Ethan for 2 weeks until Thanksgiving week (when Daddy will be home w/him), then E-man will be at St Paul's full-time with big sister Iz.
Here's our handsome E-man at 3.5 mos:
In preparation for Lola's arrival we did a lot of cleaning, and we learned that the Babe LOVES to clean! (And yes, I plan to hone her cleaning skills over the next few years so that I can give her lots of cleaning To-Do lists like my mom gave me!!) Seriously, she did most of the dusting and kept asking, "Mama, what I can clean next?"
On Lola's first night, the Babe decided to treat her to a special "Izzy" hairdo:
And then Lola returned the favor by using the curling brush on the Babe:
Meanwhile, we practiced furiously to get Ethan to take the bottle:
I'm happy to report that it only took 1.5 days for Ethan to take the bottle from Lola, and now he's an old pro. It's been a tough week for me, adjusting to work again and being away from my little (big) man. But I know it'll get a little bit easier with each day.

I've been thinking about you all week!!! Ethan looks like such a sweetheart in that picture. And love, love, love Izzy's cleaning tendancies. I can only hope Nico will pick up the same gene from me. ;-) BTW, when did you get a piano!?
Oh Mine, he is beautiful! What a looker! Both the kids are just precious... you are a lucky mama.
Coming back to work is NOT easy, but as you said, each day it gets a little bit easier until you are all well-settled into the routine.
Thinking good thoughts for you! :)
How have I been absent from your blog for so long? sigh. So glad he got a hang of it.
