big fun

So, Sara has had big fun the last 10 days or so.... Grandma D. was here for 4 days over last weekend and spent some time catching up with her granddaughter. All accounts are that fun was had by all... I mean look at that tongue! Michael Jordan couldn't do better driving to the hoop in the middle of a Game 7 finals.... and speaking of sports... go Cards!!!!!!


Sara is just about over cold #2 of the season, though still a little junk in her chest.... she did a lot of sleeping the last week, probably partially related to the cold and also the fact that we think she may have grown almost another inch. She is also starting to exert her own opinions now... ocassional bursts of crying seem to be a little more directed... but she also reached out for me for the first time this week when I picked her up at day care, she is leaning in to give "kisses", and this morning she turned off the light to a room without being shown how... actually she reaches her free arm out looking for a light switch pretty much any time we left a room in the last day or so.

Teething is also an ongoing process... and sleeping through the night is a thing of the past... though mostly for us, because sometimes she is just talking or screaming in her sleep for no apparent reason... but we wake up and go check on her regardless. We are hoping that once this cold is over she'll sleep a little more, and after she cuts a tooth or two. Anyway, the days of pictures of toothless grins are numbered, so enjoy them while you can.
