Feeling More Human

Last night was the best night yet. I got Meighan down in the crib at 11:15 and she woke up at 6:30! Yeah! We got to sleep more, too! I think she's getting more used to the nighttime routine.

The evaluation yesterday went better than I expected. The worst part for her was getting her ears cleaned out. She has a little ear infection and we have to put drops in that ear and give an oral antibiotic for that and the fluid in the other ear and go back in 2 weeks. The worst part for me was it was all morning seeing several doctors -- although it still wasn't all that bad. (Way better than going to all those doctors separately!)

She's learning new things -- quickly. On Tuesday she learned "peek!" (peek-a-boo) and yesterday in the doctor's office I gave her some Kix and she was feeding herself. Then I decided to have some myself. Then SHE started feeding ME! That's actually a good thing for her connection to us!

Today we went and met Daddy for lunch at Sortino's and then went to Grandma & Grandpa Smith's to play a little bit. She got a little nap on the way home.

I'm still trying to get unpacked completely and get the suitcases put away so I can open the door to the other bedroom. I've still got gifts and souveniers sitting out so she can't go in and just hit keys on the piano yet. She likes pushing buttons on the computer and pushing the keys on the piano and making music. Last night she "danced" with American Idol music! She's fun to watch.
