Breakthroughs

Oh my goodness, so much to talk about. Whoops, that sounded like the Church Lady, didn't it? Dylan has gone to bed before 11 for the past three nights. I think we may be onto something here. The trick seems to be that no matter how tempting it is, I can't let her fall asleep while she's eating because she will wake up in a puddle of vomit within the hour, guaranteed. Tonight we got her down at 9:30. I am so excited. And once she's asleep she's been staying down for 10-11 hours, sometimes 12. Let's hope this keeps up. Now we just have to get her to take a bottle in the next week before daycare starts.

In the car on the way home she batted at her lion toy to make it sing. On purpose. She has been swatting at things for the past week or so, but this seemed more directed. She's not real coordinated, but she was awfully proud of herself.

We had a great day in Tully today. The weather was just perfect and we got to have a nice lunch with Poppy Joe, Josh & Laura, and Melanie & David. Despite my months of effort, David managed to effortlessly take the best picture of Dylan smiling ever, so let's all encourage him to send it to me to post. We also celebrated the start of the week leading up to Josh's birthday with a cake and a singing candle. Since we saw Nana yesterday Dylan has been having lots of great-grandparent time.
