B.R. 6/5/08

That's the route we took today, but more on that later.

The baby had another one of her slow-starting morning. I think it's probably my fault. She's usually ready to WAKE UP by 6 or 7 a.m. Unfortunately for the baby, I'm not, so I make her stay in bed with me until 8, or 9 if I oversleep (oops). I think sometime in the intervening hours she must lull herself into sleep because quite frankly what else is there to do when she's trapped on the bed in the bedroom with me? So by the time that I'm ready to wake up, she's probably just gotten herself back to sleep. No wonder she's super-yawny and not really in the mood to play. That said, it take but 15 minutes or so before she's fully awake and ready to go.

Since I worked from home this morning, the baby and I had plenty of opportunity to play this morning. I was even here for her morning yump, which I've missed the past couple of days. It was very firm and had a nice sheen, which made me v happy because I know that her digestive system is working a-ok.

When I got home today, I took the baby for a long-ish walk because we missed out on walking yesterday due to rain. It was a terrific walk, and something wonderful happened during on our return leg -- the baby sinkled while we were walking through Cadman Plaza Park; as indicated by the lightening bolt! It was unexpected because (1) it's been a LONG time since the baby has sinkled in front of someone, and (2) for the entire 7 months she's been with me the baby has never, ever sinkled outside! I was so very proud of her. Yay!

Here's the baby posing outside Empire-Fulton State Park -- OUTside, because piaps are prohibited from entering (boo):

i'm v. proud of the baby. however, i hope this newfound sinkling freedom doesn't confuse her and make her think she can just sinkle anywhere she pleases.
