- my parents left yesterday after a really fun [but really quick] week. i was, once again, so sad to see them go. we had such a good time and they got to know little thee again. she has changed so much since they left in early january which i didn't quite realize since i see her everyday. my mom called nuggie a 'wild woman' on more than one occasion and it's the perfect description for her when she gets her little legs moving and runs her mouth endlessly. we're in trouble.
- i started back to work on monday with mixed emotions. i was given a project that needs to be completed by march 30th, so there's no time to dilly dally, which is probably for the best.
- we went to LA today for another follow-up appointment at children's hospital. our next visit is in six weeks. driving up to LA and back for a 30 minute appointment is super annoying but thea continues to be great on the trips. she sleeps both ways and as long as we let her play and stretch her legs for a bit before and after we see the doctor, she's a happy camper.
- zack's mom arrives tomorrow! we can't wait to see her and are hoping maybe she can help us with some much needed sleep training. [thea slept from 8:30p to 4:15a and then 5:15a to 8:15a last night. not bad but we're trying to eliminate the 4a wake up call and also move her into her own room. if anyone has thoughts on 'cry-it-out' vs. 'no-cry' sleep solutions, i'd love to hear them!] as well, check out carol's most recent column in the westport news when you have a minute. thea is famous!
p.s. we got our first real laughs today! zack was holding thea this morning and zerberting her neck and they just kept rolling out of her mouth. i got a few on the changing table tonight. it's so fun to hear those sweet, joyful sounds!
we hope everyone is happy and healthy! xox
That smile! That joy! She is so happy and self expressed- a true testament to her amazing parents:) I was listening to "I Am" by Guru Singh & Seal & Friends and it made me think of you and Thea. It's on iTunes and I have a feeling you both would like it... "Gob bless the children how we love them!"
