Graham crackers are a big hit. She likes having the power - not having to wait for a spoon - and they disintegrate with drool, so no choking danger. Also, they make a big mess, which is still novel enough to be kind of fun.

Hands open and close, open and close. Grabby; scritchy fingers on the sheets; playing with ruffles on the pillow.

Cold is mostly better. Still some snot. Very sleepy this afternoon and to bed by 6:30, leaving me at a loss as to what to do!

mr. flea has remained in charge at night all week, despite the cold. I am still tired, but a LOT less stressed out than before, and I think he is coping okay. We should have shared the nights more evenly - we did at the beginning, but then once she was in bed with us I thought I could handle it and let him sleep. I do need his help, and he is happy to give it, and we are working again like a tag-team, which is our preferred relationship dynamic.

If you listen real close, you can probably hear her brain shouting "Cookie!"

Glad it's been less stressful for you.

Huh, I bet you missed the last post of 'em, which was in Natter a month ago. This is the one someone said caused brain damage with the cuteness:

Cute!!!! Lethally cute!

Flea -- may I friend you?

Of course, sumi. I am very laissez-faire about the friending thing.

Note to all: friend me at will! Unless you are my mother. Don't be offended if I don't friend you back; I am very slow to do bureaucratic housekeeping, and if your journal is mostly about fic it's probably just not up my alley.

Oh my...

...I think I just ovulated. She's so beautiful! And getting so big, too.

Your house puts me just a little in mind of the Summers' house, btw. It's certainly not the same, but there's a certain something, there.
