Growing Up So Fast

Just a quick update to say Sabine has made lots of discoveries this week! First, we tried out the Bumbo. She's not quite strong enough to sit in it for much more than a minute or two, but it was a pretty good start.





We also tried out the exersauser, which we are borrowing from our friend B, even though Sabine is still a little small for it.



Tatum insisted on making a cameo.



We're still dealing with some reflux issues, hence the ever-present bib, but we're finding that Sabine is more comfortable in an upright position. So that was what prompted us to try out the new gear, and it seems to be an overall success.

Sabine has also found her voice. She's never had a problem voicing her opinions, but on Wednesday night (we could tell exactly when it happened) she realized she could control the sound. It's pretty funny to hear her. She is suddenly much more talkative, and crying has become a form of entertainment. She certainly still cries, but now she hears herself and immediately starts trying to manipulate the sound. It's been fun to watch, not to mention a small relief on our ears.
