Samantha has figured out how to play the music on her tower toy that Kelly and Alan got for her. She keeps pressing the button on the top. She doesn't have the face on it. She just presses the little button, over and over, and over. She is getting more finger control every day.

She woke up last night around 3am ate and fussed until about 4am. Then she was up again at 6, but Matt says she fell asleep again? Or at least stopped fussing until about 7. I was comatose and didn't hear a thing until Matt came in at 8am. I am so grateful for that extra 2 hours. It felt wonderful.

We sat on the sun room for a bit while the plasterer went over the house with Matt. (We had two leaks this summer, unrelated, and are trying to get someone to fix the ceilings and walls.) I put her on her tummy on top of the exercise ball (21 inches in diameter). She seemed to really enjoy it. She bounced, and when I put her down, she tried to crawl back on top of it again. This is a good toy!
