One week old, Go Sara!

Sara is doing well... still above the curve in our minds.  She had another outing with her Mom and Grandma today and did very well.  Sara is such a strong little girl, she likes to kick all over the place and lift her head (and hold it for a few seconds!) all the time.  She has even found her fingers several times and is fond of sucking on them.  Sara has had a pretty good first week and is concentrating on eating a little more every day it seems.  It is amazing how she has changed already.... she has so many facial expressions... the best is when she holds them for several minutes while she is sleeping - very funny.  She is getting better at sleep (knock on wood).... we got sleep in two-to-three our blocks last night instead of 15-45 minute blocks.... which was nice, but we will see if that lasts.  Sara has also been getting a daily dose of fresh air on all her outings and at dinner time... the weather has been nice around here lately, so we have been grilling out in the evening and eating outside... it isn't even buggy yet, so it has been good so far...

Grandma D. is headed home tomorrow - we had been getting a good hour or two head start on sleep because the two night owls in the family would keep each other company for a while.  In any event, now we have to figure out how to do this on our own.  I had gone into work for a few hours each of the last three days why Grandma was here to get things moving... I'll take the next few days so that we can start to work out our kinks on our own.

In other news: our friends Ben and Cari (who was due 1 week after Danette) had their first baby today, 1 week after us - also 8 days late.... Little Timothy was born at 4:30 today.... welcome to the world Timothy!
