I'm not sure if I'm a believer in the exact weeks these clouds are scheduled to roll in, but yes, Ivy does have the rain cloud over her head on occasion and now is one of those times. The goo-goo-gooing or dancing in front of her just doesn't produce the smiles it used to! Haha.
The last couple weeks have been especially interesting because in addition to the rain cloud pouring on our house, it's also busy season for me and Scott's had to go out of town more. I'm going to call this combination a severe storm warning. Also we're sleep training Ivy, which brings this storm warning to a hurricane alert. My only advice to anyone in this situation is gird your loins. The time for preparation has ended. Haha.
Yesterday I found myself literally eating dinner while I rode my exercise bike. I do recognize that this was a weird/useless combination; but if I wanted to do both, that was the answer. Also, I successfully put Ivy down for a nap in the middle of a conference call so I'm feeling half crazy, half super-human here in the aftermath. Luckily with Scott out of town, I'm more motivated to work extra hours at night because...what else will I do, try to watch 26 seasons of Gilmore Girls? I'd rather
It's obviously a lot harder to manage a baby without all of Scott's help, but in some ways I do tolerate business trips better with my little buddy here. I was never bored! :)
Month 5 is pretty fun even with the rain clouds. Ivy is constantly rolling onto her stomach and getting stuck (because she forgot how to do the easier roll back to her back...) and she loves to touch everything which brings a lot of laughter to our house. As does her hair.

*Actually I do someday plan to get through them all because caring about the revival does sound super fun. Hopefully it's still as fun 7 years from now.
