Nowadays, when I look back at those baby pictures when Eli was younger, I can't believe how much he has changed since then. I wish I had relaxed more and enjoyed more.

It's been almost two months since I went back to work. It was great. It was a lot easier than i thought. Eli is really enioying his stay at the day care, and he is growing fast every day. So long asI am spending quality time with him, I feel less guilt of leaving him. A happy mother makes a happy child. I definitely feel like myself again: driven, career focused and being in control.

Eli is 3 month old today. He has changed so much. Today, I was having lunch with Wendy; we chatted about how desparate I was when Eli was a little infant. She told me that 3 month is such a short period of time in my life span, yet at the time, every minute was going by so slowly. Now looking back, time flew by without me even noticing it. All in a sudden, it is my last week of maternity leave. 

Amnon is a wonderful dad, and he showers Eli with patience and love. He does the bed time bath, and he gives bottles at 7pm and 11pm. I have not put Eli down for the night for some time, and I hope Eli will accept my routine when his dad is on a business trip, which is pretty soon.

Tonight, Amnon was cutting Eli's fingernails. For some reason, he missed it, and Eli's little finger was bleeding a little. I panicked, as if I can feel the pain in my heart. Amnon is usually very calm, but even he felt it and stress was showing up on his face. Eli cried, helplessly. Amnon walked the baby until he calmed down and fell asleep on his shoulder. It is just a small cut, how am I ever going to take it if Eli crushes his toes or twists his arms?

Eli can stand up!

Eli loves sitting up now, with this Stanford-Berkeley shirt given by his grand parents from Michigan.

Eli loves his bath - favorite time of the day
