Odd Days Project

01-01-09

Kris came up with an awesome photo idea - its called the Odd Days project! And he managed to get a whole bunch of us excited about it! So there is quite a following. :) I hope to take better pictures, but here is my start. The idea is to take one picture for every odd numbered day for the whole year of 2009. I'm really excited to see all the pictures together at the end of the year and print them out for an album.

Abi really wasn't as terrified as she looks! Her expressive little face doesn't always show through at her best in pictures. We actually had a fantastic day with Mercy, Colin, Cheryl, and Ryan, and Abi was so good all day - despite the fact that she only took two 45 minute naps... She was loving her new friends. :) It was awesome to get a chance to see Mercy for a little while and to meet Colin.

Little side note: Abi fed herself her finger foods for the first time today. She loves to eat absolutely anything, so I've been trying Cheerios with her. I put them on her tray and till today she would play with them and even pick them up. But for some reason, though everything else she touches goes into her mouth she wouldn't put food there. She would just sit and wait for me to put another one in her mouth! Today she did it herself for the first time! Pretty cute to watch.

jess...just a note on the sleep thing. we finally after several months that saebella NEVER sleeps after having a big day. she never sleeps when people are here, or we are out, or at someone else's house, but the next day or two is always the worst. i've come to just expect that it will be worse then. i don't have any great advice about how to deal with it, but it just sounded really similiar to what we've experienced for months. maybe keeping track of days that are out of the ordinary or really stimulating to her and seeing if they match up with times she won't sleep.just my thoughts...
