Brooklyn's First Time Away

Brooklyn's first time away from her momma and daddy was on Saturday, December 13th, 2008. It was the hardest thing to do, but we had to get some Christmas shopping done, so my mom, Grandma Carrie, watched her for a couple of hours while we ran around town. I was ready to get back to her after about 10 minutes, but survived for about two hours.

Since then, she has been away from us a couple of times. We have gone away to see an NBA game. That time her Grandma Belinda watched her for us. The grandmothers have had their fair share of time with her and watching her for us so we can get things done. It's not easy trying to take a baby everywhere with you. It's getting easier to leave her behind since I have become more comfortable with the grandmothers watching her since they have spent so much time with her. I still call and check up on her a lot though and can't leave her behind for too long since she has to be fed so often. It helps with the separation anxiety though and I know the grandmas really enjoy their time with her too.

Love,
Jennifer
