+ Way to grow! +
7.5 hours last night, 8 hours the night before. You have definitely adopted a new sleeping habit, and I like it. Not much else is new. You seem to be completely over your sniffles, other than an occasional juicy sneeze. You're starting to demand a little more entertainment, crying if I hold you on my shoulder too long. This morning I sat you on my lap so you could look around, and you instantly stopped crying and started staring at everything. It looks exhausting for you, trying to keep your head somewhat steady. But you just have so many things to look at, what's a girl to do? You really liked looking at Princess this morning. Speaking of Princess, I can't wait until you're old enough to pay her back. She was licking you last night while I was putting your harness on and wouldn't stop. I kept swatting at her, but you were staring at her, and she kept kissing you. I guess so far you're getting along just fine. That's a good thing.

Tomorrow is Grandma Carol's graduation from ASU, so I'm sure we'll have fun with that. Then Saturday you are coming with us to my work picnic. Hundreds of people to meet! Hopefully the other new babies from work will be there, too. That will be a lot of fun.

Keep on growing at work. I'm doing my best to pump more and more milk all the time. I usually send 6 bottles with as close to 3 oz. as possible. Since they're only really giving you 4 a day, maybe 5 if you're really hungry, I want to make sure they're full enough. Anyway, Grandma Laurie will be picking you up again today. Don't listen to anything she says about UofA. She's trying to pervert your little mind. She's like that.
