5 months

Miss Raegan has heralded in 5 months with double! ear infections, complete with 102 fever and general grumpiness. A quick trip in to the doc and some good medicines later and she's back to her usual happy, smiley self.

New to her list of funnies is growling and "ranting" as her daddy puts it: minutes upon minutes of her yelling and talking to one of us or the dogs, or even a video on the laptop.

Also for 5 months we're experimenting with the Ferber Method to get her to soothe herself back to sleep and (hopefully) sleep better throughout the night. We've had some small battles won but we're still working on the war. While I'm typing this she's actually had her best night to date...and there I've probably just jinxed it but I had to brag a little.

Zoom, Zoom, Zoom!

(And yeah, Roxy is acutally the boss, until she gets in trouble with us humans. Then she gets the naughty spoon.)

Daddy does my hair...

And I do Mommy's!

workin' hard

My little engineer hard at work with her bead maze. She gets the funniest concentration looks going sometimes, and now she's started to yell at talk to us, and her toys.

I has dollies.
