Here We Are!

Sorry it's been a while. I've learned my lesson. I am going to stop posting about this:

because every time I do, I jinx it. We had a rough couple of weeks following Sabine's little cold, and while I think we're slowly getting back on track, it's still tenuous.

Speaking of sleep, though, Sabine seems to be pushing her nap time back. For a long time she was going down right at 11:30AM. How long she stayed down was another story entirely, but more recently she hasn't been ready to go down until closer to 1:00PM or even 2:00 some days. We'll see how long it lasts. This could potentially open up more lunch options for us!

Still, we're staying busy, Sabine continues to be quite the social butterfly, hanging out with all of her good friends and getting out and about.

Sabine's talking more and more, and we've gotten several compliments on her advanced vocabulary. While I do think she's got a good vocabulary for her age, I also think she's very good at enunciating, which I think helps make a good impression.

She's also working on shapes, and can correctly identify stars, hearts, and triangles. She gets ovals, squares, rectangles, octagons, and circles right about half the time.

Imaginative play has also really blossomed recently. Sabine likes to pretend she's carrying a dinosaur, and never has any newborn baby been given as much attention during transfers as her dinosaurs. (Which appear to fit just perfectly in the crook of her arm.) Usually they are blue, but sometimes she has two (so that you can carry one), and then one is green or purple. Unless they are both blue, which happens just as much. Luckily, they are some of the few things mommy lets Sabine bring in the shower, so, BONUS!

And last but not least, she's getting more and more hair. Look! There's twice as much in the clip as there was last year!
