10.19.09: Quiet Time

Dear Friends and Family,

We had a quiet weekend at home and it was perfect.

Saturday was a bunch of errands. We gassed the car, picked up mail, picked up groceries, got an oil change, ate lunch, bought a rice cooker, picked up makeup, picked up P clothes, and still made it home to spend time with P in the evening. Pile on laundry and some mouse pad organization and it was a full day.

Sunday, we went to our favorite bar to watch our favorite auto racing series. Then, we dropped off forms at the doctor's office for P. And, we came home and spent the rest of the day playing and folding laundry.

P's been spending a lot of time in nuestra cama (aka our bed) this weekend. She's been sick and waking in the middle of the night. I guess it's okay, but I'm aware that she may be sleep training us.

She's also gotten uber-dexterous at picking up items and sticking them in her mouth. She'll reach for items and hold them for extended periods of time now. I've been encouraging her to play with a spoon we bought for her under the premise that that's step 1 in feeding her. Step 2 will be feeding her milk with her spoon. Step 3 will be "human" food. The reasoning is that feeding can be broken down into a series of steps which ultimately culminate in eating. I'm assuming steps 1 & 2 can be an any night of the week activity. And, step 3, we'll probably attempt on a Friday night and over the weekend so we can monitor her and take it slow. Mr. mouse bought rice cereal, carrots, peas and sweet potatoes for us to experiment with. I'm still lobbying for homemade mashed potatoes.

And, now, it's Monday. P has a cold, but I'm going to bring her into daycare anyway. I may bring her home for the afternoon depending upon my schedule. We'll see how the day plays out.


Cheers!
