So, my time at home with Tom all day has sadly come to an end. Today was my first official day back to work at Brainpark and it was actually pretty okay. Luckily, Andrew has taken my last few months of parental leave for himself so he was home for the first day with Tom all day! It was really hard to leave him this morning, but it was also refreshing to spend so many hours out of the house and I know he’s in good hands with his Dad. It also makes me happy that they get to spend some good quality time together before we lose the baby altogether. That being said, it was Tom’s 0.5 birthday on Sunday. He’s growing into such a strong personality. He giggles and laughs and squirms around all over the place. He’s pretty much crawling already which is amazing for his age, and I actually saw him catch himself as he was falling backwards from a sitting position tonight. I didn’t even know babies could do that!
It’s suprisingly refreshing to get back to work, actually. I got to do some user testing with the new feature set and I’m really impressed on the direction the software has moved since I left last June. I’m thinking there are going to be some nice changes to the front end coming up soon that will leave me with my hands full.
