March 10: Daylight Savings Time sure does weird things to my kid’s sleep! Sylvia is just peeping now, and it is 8:20am! She normally wakes up before 7am. She got a new molar over the last week, and it was pretty uncomfortable for her. There were several nights when she was up seven or more times between 10:30 and 6am. Urgh. She also had a low fever and some nose runniness for five or six days.
Seems like her tooth and/or her malady have gotten better. She’s been a delight to be around the past couple days. She is doing so many baby signs. I’m going to try to take a video of her to share.
Andrew is currently watching videos of baby animals nursing on YouTube while I type. He’s tucked between my arms. On Sunday, he and I had a date with “just Andrew and Mommy. No Daddy or Sylvia.” He wasn’t too interested in such an arrangement (he very much prefers time with Daddy!), but we had a great time. We went to a bike shop and tried out bikes. Then we got him a bigger bike helmet. Finally, we went to Andrew’s first movie in a theater. We saw The Tale of Desperaux, and Andrew loved it. He sat on my lap, with his soft cheek pressed against mine. I imagine that he’ll go to lots of movies in his life, and I’m glad I could be his date for his very first one.
Althea, Bryan, Andrew, and Sylvia
