Last Monday Evie began to sleep through most of the night. Thursday and Friday she had some trouble and I ended up feeding her, even though I tried not to. Starting last night, we decided that if she woke up, we’d go in to make sure she was fine, but then she was on her own from there as far as going back to sleep. Let me tell you, I am feeling like a million bucks these days! I mean I knew sleep deprivation was affecting me, but man, it was affecting me!
She also got her third tooth on Saturday. That may explain her getting up Thursday and Friday night. I am assuming #4 will be coming through any day now as it seems that is the way things go for most babies.
She also learned how to do a few things this week. The cutest is definitely the waving! She gets very excited and waves to Daddy. Which brings me to the next thing that we think she learned, which is to say “Dada!” This occurs during her waving at Dan, and sounds a bit more like, “Dadadadadadadadada!” She has also started signing “All Done,” and possibly even saying it too. This one comes out as, “AhDah!”
This weekend Dan and I, and Evie, went to a marriage conference in the Amanas. It was a very refreshing time for us, and challenged us in many ways. While we were there, Jake went to play with his favorite friend Luke Hibbing. He has now declared that his favorite color is orange (like Luke) and that he wants to grow up to be like Luke. We’ll see if blue enters back into first place or not.
Speaking of blue… I am now driving a minivan. Specifically a Nissan Quest, but it is blue. Jake had requested we get a blue van, and Dan/God did not disappoint him!
