Now that I know that at least Kay is reading...

Ok, ok, I know I'm supposed to be writing this for Anna. Trouble is, it's hard to get motivated for that since she doesn't even know what a letter is. Fortunately, Lisa's Aunt Kay said she tunes in from time to time. It's nice to know there's an audience.

Anna and Lisa are down for a nap after a morning in Janesville nixing our new auto's extended warranty. We took her to her first restaurant in a couple of months, since it's generally easier to get take out. The two previous restaurant adventures, an Indian buffet and Sala Thai, became a bit stressful when she began to fuss. No such trouble today.

Sleep has been much improved in the past few weeks, although she still likes to play the wake up game a couple of times in the evening before settling in. Last night, however, we battled her stuffy nose with saline spray a couple of times during the night and dealt with the crying and sniffling afterward. By 4:30, Lisa had had enough and Anna and I retired to the recliner so that mom could rest properly. Turns out Anna and I did pretty well for ourselves out there, too, as she slept till 8:15. That was when she turned big ol' eyes upward toward Dad, as if to say, "Oh, you've been my mattress for the evening? Now what have you got for me?"

What we had for her was a second attempt at cereal. This time she did pretty well and swallowed the majority of it. I still think the spoon is the main attraction, but so long as she gets a little iron, she can play with the spoon a bit.

Here's photographic evidence (actually, this is from the first attempt on Christmas day - had a video, but it wouldn't post!)
