Growing Girl

I'm without much to report, but I know it's time for at least a few new pictures! If you can believe it, I've even lapsed in the picture taking department over the past week.

Since my last update, Sara has been sleeping in her own room full time. She's doing a great job, and Steve and I are definitely sleeping better as a result. Sara is enjoying her daily walks and the occasional outing. Yesterday she was wide awake during a trip to the grocery store and seemed fairly mesmerized by the lights and sounds. She's been having a good, loud crying fit almost daily, usually in the evenings. I hear this is normal, and is sometimes representative of babies just needing to relax and unwind, and we're trying to be good about letting her just cry it out (especially if she has eaten, been changed, etc.) She tends to be able to calm herself after a little while, but when she can't, food usually does the trick ... she's a girl after my own heart.

We decided to try the Bumbo seat last week and Sara was very content sitting in it for quite a while. She turned her head to look toward the window, so I ended up moving the entire chair for her. I think she likes the sunlight.

Sara doesn't love tummy time yet as a means of play. I think this picture came right before a "move me off this thing" outburst.

We don't usually bundle our child in rags, but it sure looks cute when we do. Look at those big eyes!
