Time is really flying by. We've been settling into a good routine; Sabine's usually up around 6:00 AM -6:30 AM and has breakfast and sees daddy off to work. She goes down for a nap around 9:00, sleeps for about an hour to an hour and a half, and then is up for a good three hour stretch. That's usually the time we get out of the house during the day. Her second nap usually falls between 1:30 and 2:00, and that one also lasts about an hour to an hour and a half. Then she's up to play, have dinner, and go through the bedtime routine, which can take quite a while.
She's a really happy little girl with a strong personality. She has never met a stranger. I keep hearing about babies who go through separation anxiety, but she continues to offer herself up to strangers with no regard for mom or dad. This is an endearing trait when we're introducing her to people like our bosses. This is less endearing at the mall on a Saturday afternoon when she refuses to be carried and insists on walking BY HERSELF, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
We have just learned to be her shadow, and try to intercept when necessary. But she's a really amazing kid, we wouldn't have it any other way.
In other news, Sabine finally came down with her first cold last Friday. It was bound to happen eventually, and I'm just glad she's no longer a fragile little newborn. While she acts like the little bulb snot-sucker is an instrument of torture, it hasn't been all bad. Our huge humidifier has been moved into her room, and she cracks herself up leaning over it to get the fan to blow on her face.
Happily, she seems to be feeling much better today, since tomorrow we're headed out to check out the Gymboree play place. (First class is free.) Sabine is really drawn towards other little kids, she literally tackles them in her excitement. Fortunately she's younger and smaller than most of her friends, I think she might be a little overwhelming, otherwise. I'm hoping she'll find some other like-minded kids tomorrow.
