We had a big weekend! Sabrina tackled her third country (Canada) and on Monday we noticed her first tooth - bottom left one. She was a complete joy to travel with the entire weekend - including a tough road trip on Friday when we ended up being in the car for nine hours due to traffic and a seriously backed up border crossing. She slept for almost 7 of the nine hours and we worried that she was going to be up for a few days after that, but in fact she slept pretty well all weekend. She is definitely waking up once or twice a night these days so our 11 hour stretches are a thing of the past, but we're rolling with it. Given all the time zone changes, traveling, road trips, different people playing with her all day long...she does pretty well. We spent a few days in Detroit with Jen and Mike before they set off for a two year stint in S. Korea. Then three days with extended family and friends at Abigail & Michael's wedding in Castleton, Ontario (about an hour north of Toronto). Then Sunday we had a family trip with just the three of us to Toronto where we stayed downtown and walked around the city for an entire day. Sabrina loved it all.
She hasn't seemed impacted by the teething at all yet. I'm sure we have some tough weeks/months ahead of us with teething, but so far, so good.
Sabrina continues to amaze us with her ability to stand up and she's even started moving a bit around the coffee table. She's still very wobbly, but she gets more steady every day. Her teachers at daycare comment every time I pick her up about how mobile she is. Her favorite toys these days are the turtle drum (and she's discovered that she can play it with her butt too...very cute), the music cube that plays multiple instruments, Sophie, a piece of mylar wrapping paper from the doctor's office, the cap to her Sippy cup, her Sippy cup, and anything she's not supposed to have (silverware, sunglasses, iPhones, keys, tonic water on the kitchen island, plates, beer, wine...okay, she grabs everything)
Tonight we spent time with Nana and Poppy (and Natalie, Kurt and Cecilia) before they head off for 2 weeks of motorcycle riding in Croatia with Tim & Erica. Sabrina was a sweetheart and gave them lots of smiles and kisses (slobbers), and played piano with Poppy before they left.
Cecilia and Sabrina are cuter than ever together these days. Cecilia started bringing toys to Sabrina tonight and Sabrina would take them from her and stick them directly in her mouth. We're not sure if we can call it full "playing" together, but Cecilia is starting to figure out her little buddy and we're sure Sabrina will discover how cool Cecilia is very soon. It was sweet to see.
We also got a CD with pictures from our friend, Jessica, from a barbeque back in early June that Jess and Luke had at Luke's house in Louisville. Here are a few photos that she took of Sabrina with her great lens. Thank you Jess!! (yes, this was just after her haircut, so no making fun of the poor child - it's growing in nicely!)
When I put together our photos and videos from the weekend, I'll post those too. Right now the camera and the Flip video are in the diaper bag...in Sabrina's room...and she's asleep. My mommy told me "NEVER WAKE A SLEEPING BABY" so you'll have to wait. I'll tell you though, she's pretty darn cute right now.
