at the salon!

yubba

We've got to be careful or this nickname might stick! But it's just so sweet to hear little brother try to say her name. And for some reason, "Yubba"just suits her at the moment.

As sweey little Nathan would say, "Bletch choo, Yubba!"

sleepy sarah trying to wake up

She's a squeaker, just like Nathan was.

We're no longer calling her "Sleepy Sarah"

I'm getting skeert. Abby had this look. A lot. And she ended up being a child who would only fall asleep holding on to my face - sometimes with her fingers up my nose.

GO TO SLEEP SARAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At CPA

Today was the last day of MDO for Abby. She had a half day so instead of Daddy bringing her home as usual, Nathan, Sarah and I went to pick her up. Abby was so excited to show off her little sister! Sarah rode along in the sling (and helped me carry the camera) and we went and picked up big sister.

can you hear her snoring???

7 minutes

We let little Sarah "cry it out" for the first time tonight. She was exhausted had nursed for what seemed like hours but still was not letting herself fall asleep. We tried taking a walk (inside and outside) but nothing seemed to be working. So I wrapped her in her little straight jacket, put her in the closet, turned out the lights and shut the door. (For those of you who don't know, her "bedroom" is our master bedroom walk-in closet - There's a swing in there - no need to call DCS.)

It took about 7 minutes but now she's asleep.

BACK TO ADD: OK, I was wrong. She faked me out. She was crying again within about 10 minutes of that post. It took her another hour of nursing off and on for her to fall asleep. But she was asleep by 11pm and slept till about 5am!
