12 Weeks and Mother's Day

Aspen is officially 12 weeks old! She's got a little cold, so she's been coughing and a little stuffy, and we're just trying to get past it as soon as we can. Fortunately, she's still a smile-y, happy little girl, when she's not coughing herself awake! And she's still growing, despite a decreased appetite. She just moved into 3-6 month clothing.

It even snowed last weekend, so we got to quick try out some of Sabine's cute winter outfits.



We had a nice Mother's Day with Nana Lin and Aunt Dani:



And Sabine gave me a lovely necklace with a family of penguins on it. This is the only picture I got, sorry it's a little blurry. You'll have to take my word on the penguins.



In other news, Aspen slept in her crib for the first time!



She's been spending her nights in a Rock-n-Play in our room, so that she stays elevated. It really seems to help keep the reflux down. But she was exhausted after her bath the other evening, so I just put her down in the crib while we did Sabine's bath in the next room, and she slept peacefully for about 10 minutes. (Her daytime naps don't usually last very long, although we do often get a longer stretch sometime in the afternoon, often between her 1:00 and 4:00 feedings.)

Our good friend Lindsay also came over last week and did a beading project with Sabine, and Sabine thought that was most excellent!





Sabine has also recently become interested in the Golden Gate Bridge thanks to ABCmouse.com (a computer game she likes to play), so my good friend Katie, who lives in San Francisco, sent her a book, and we have been enjoying that.



We had Sabine's preschool end-of-year picnic this week, and I had to do a double-take that it was already May. Where has this year gone?!
