Happy Birthday Daddy!




I don't know why it's been so hard to blog this week but it has. For those of you who get grumpy when there aren't new photos at least every other day, sorry!!

We went to the CHOP Sleep Center yesterday finally. Surprise surprise there is no magic forumla or pill to help to get her to sleep on her own. Oh well. After a very long interview, a short physical exam and Sophie - get this - FALLING ASLEEP in my arms in the sleep center (something she never, ever does by the way), we got some advise to try for four nights and a "hotline" number to call to report progress. Not sure how it's all going to work out but it was good to hear we are not the only parents with these issues and at least now we have our own Sophie sleep hotline - that's pretty exciting, huh?

Yesterday was Jim's birthday. We celebrated quietly but happily here at home after we got home from the Sleep Center by trying to teach Sophie how to blow out her daddy's birthday candle. She's gotta practice for the big 1 year birthday coming up, you know... She liked the candle being lit (many many times actually) and was somewhat amused by the singing and blowing out part but we couldn't quite get her to do it. We'll keep working on it. Maybe she'll be a pro by March 26th.

Tomorrow we are hoping to have a visit from Grammy (is that Grammy with a "y" or an "Ie" anyway, Grammy?), Grandpop and Grandma. Hope they have safe driving and are all feeling better!!

Happy Birthday to your daddy! My daddy's birthday is in 2 weeks - I hope I can blow out his candle like you did!

P.S. - good job sleepin' at the Sleep Center! Tell your parents that just because THEY have a problem with your sleep habits, doesn't mean YOU do - When will they ever learn!
