Watch Us Grow!: Playing Blog Catch-up

Tonight was bonding night for CeCe and mommy. Matt took a few hours to get together with the guys so we spent the time playing and laughing. Cecelia is at a fun stage now where it takes very little to get a chuckle out of her. Funny noises seem to get the best reaction.

Now that she's conked out on me I have the opportunity to update the blog with some recent photos. The pictures don't show it but CeCe is losing her hair in a funny patch on the back of her head. It's a funny ring around the middle of her head due to sleeping on her back. Matt and I joke about how she looks like an old man from behind!

We're often amazed at how fast she's growing. It must be due to her healthy appetite. In fact, Cate told us that at daycare this week she ate seven ounces in one sitting. She's mastered the art of holding her head up and seems as though she's just about to roll. Another development - she's now fascinated by her hands and often stares at them as though she is trying to understand their purpose. She's gotten quite good at grabbing for objects.

We haven't seen a lot of people lately. The cold and snow has had us hunkering down more than usual. Cecelia's constant battle with RSV and colds has also encouraged us to stay indoors. We did get out for her very first walk last Sunday (how pathetic is that - nothing like Wisconsin winters). She fell asleep just a few minutes into it.

I'm now off on Fridays (versus working half days at home) so am looking forward to a fun start to the weekend with CeCe. There's a lot going on this weekend. Between seeing friends, going to a bridal shower on the Weiss side and celebrating birthdays with the Starks, we're sure lots of photos will be taken. Therefore, look for an update next week.
