two weeks with brother :)

In the past two weeks we've been lucky to have Che with us and he has spent a lot of time with Sasha...I think she is far more interesting to him now that she is babbling, smiling and laughing in response to him. He even has the walk-&-rock to sooth her down pat! He's defintely proving to be a great big brother :)

Sasha is doing fabulous! We had a visit with her pediatrician this week (after this appointment she is now graduated to visits at the office instead of the hospital - yeah!) and she was "thrilled" with her health and development. She is now 15 lbs 4 oz and 25 1/4 inches long! Will she ever slow down?!

Below are a few more pics from the past week (the previous week with Che we were away and I did a seperate entry for it below):
- long enamoured with her hands, she is now greatly entertained by her favorite toys as well. she spends a great deal of time exploring them with her 5 senses...and she naps with them too
- the boys pickin' blackberries...which I turned into my first batch of jam ever!
- she is now big enough to face forward in the snuggly (which really stimulates her and helps her sleep even more!)
- she sleeps long enough (and soundly enough) that she is in her crib now overnight (for just over a week now she sleeps for a solid 6-8 hours!!)
- tummy time: she is able to lift part of her upperbody as well as her head which has her interacting with her toys in a whole new way
- and she already has the boys wrapped around her fingers: her Uncle Heath, daddy and brother vying for her smiles; and swingtime with Brad (my kind of community meeting. we're planning a festival in our local park for next weekend and thankfully these folks like to hang with Sasha too!)
