Have I really been that lax at keeping this blog updated? Don't answer that, just please accept my apologies. It's been pretty busy around here!
Virginia Anne is sleeping MUCH better, although in waves. One night she will - seriously - sleep for eight hours. The next... maybe four hours. So we've continued tweaking and may have hit a good pattern, having had two solid nights of sleep in a row. We'll see what happens in that department...
On other fronts, Virginia Anne is growing and changing so quickly. She is much more awake and alert during the day. She will focus on objects and has started reaching for things, like our glasses. We've been doing "tummy time" since the second week, where we'll lay her on her tummy so she can start to strengthen her neck muscles. Much to our delight, the second time we tried it she lifted up her head! I'll try to add video of it but haven't figured that part out yet.
Melanie has also started reading to her, and let's just say she's enjoying the pictures. It's been great bonding time for mother and daughter.
Allen just got back from a very quick trip to Tennessee where we are getting ready to close on a house in Murfreesboro. If you haven't been to The Boro lately, it has changed a lot but still has the same great BBQ, Southern hospitality and Blue Raiders football.
Let us hear from you, and be sure to check out our Flickr photo page where we have much more frequent updates via photos of our sweet little Virginia Anne.
