The toy of the hour is light switches. Interestingly, she can flick them down, but has a hard time flicking them up. She reaches for them every time we enter a room, and she now knows where most of them are. Nothing misses her eagle eye.

She yelled quite a bit early last night around 10 and then midnight, the kind of ear splitting, "I'm in pain," kind of cries. We gave her some Motrin and a bottle of water, and she slept for the rest of the night. It feels wonderful when she does that.

Samantha cracks me up with Ella's dog bed. She crawls into the middle of it (no small feat in itself) and sits up. Then she starts bouncing up and down as though she is waiting for it to take off. Or she is wondering where Ella is.

I have the yellow and white blanket in the car now. It fits the new car seat really well, and that way I always have something warm to wrap her in.
