Twice in a week

Today again we went to East Side Mario's. We gorged (there are no kinder words for our behaviour) on bread and salad before our main courses arrived so of course practically the entire main dishes were packed up. When we went on Monday I had penne with sausage and peppers today I ordered Angel Hair with Grilled Shrimp. I ended up eating instead the Chicken Marsala that the husband ordered because he didn't like it at all and I'm partial to it.

Onto the subject of my blog: Tara has been waking every hour for the past two nights. I feel like I've got a newborn all over again, except bigger and louder. I grin and bear it, I hope her little "toof" erupts soon and then she sleeps for the four or five hour stretches that I'm used to. We saw a baby over the weekend whose face was all red and rashy from her drool. I'm very good at wiping her face so she doesn't develop a rash. She had it for one day before I figured out what was causing and put a stop to it. I'm constantly wiping around her mouth, or if she's on her tummy I move her from spot to spot so if she puts her head down it won't be in the drool.

In the meantime she's becoming cuter and cuter by the day. Wow! Infants are amazing - we never change or grow or accomplish as much in our lives I think, as we do in these first few years. Makes me so glad that we are able to give her a stable and happy environment. I wish my "babyhood" had been as happy, I wonder how different my personality would be today. She's such a relaxed and happy baby, always cooing and talking and smiling and all this at only 4 months and a bit. I cry when I think how fast she's growing.
