Little Things

Just a few things to update everyone - we all have a small cold and we think it has been waking Sarah up at nights around 4:00am. We have been having some trouble getting her back to sleep, although she still seems to have a large amount of energy during the day. She did very well at her doctors appointment - there was a little bit of crying and she had to get two needles - the first one she didn't even flinch but the second one hurt her and she cried. We have just been receiving friends and family in small groups as visitors and it seems to be working out well. Sarah takes a while to warm up but usually she is quite the little ham bone by the time they are leaving.


Sarah has been playing with her toys although her favourite toys are not toys at all - the mostly desired items seem to be those items in drawers and sitting on the counter. Sarah is still a fussy eater and we have been trying to get her to try different foods - a lot of the time she won't even put it in her mouth to try. We did have a breakthrough yesterday when Laura came by for a visit and brought timbits, coffee and tea and she brought herself a lovely fruit yogurt - she offered Sarah some and Sarah then proceeded to eat at least 1/2 of it and then ate one her her Daddy's yogurts and two timbits - Aunti LoLo is now her favourite Aunti, well at least until her next favorite Aunti bribes her with something she likes - but Laura is planning on a return visit fairly soon to keep her standing.


She did have some fun playing with Aunti Mandy's extra large teddy - she was really just picking it up and throwing it down but she seemed to really enjoy it. The other place she really likes to go is the park, although it's been a bit too cold for it - she is usually a little shy at first but then she decides it's a lot of fun and just marches up the stairs on her own to the slide - I have got her to wait most times to sit down and hold Mommies hand for the slide down - that's mostly for nervous Mom as I think she would have very little problem sliding down on her own.

Also once she get more comfortable she climbs up to the higher part of the slide and wants to go down the big slide - even Daddy doesn't like her doing that one on her own.
