The talking has returned, and has ushered in another trick....giggling! Yesterday we were at a friend's house and they have a ceiling fan up in their cathedral ceiling. She was laying on the floor staring up at it, and she started talking to it. While talking to inanimate objects is generally discouraged, I was thrilled to hear her using her vocal cords again (for a more pleasant sound than crying). Later I was playing peekaboo with her, which had her grinning big grins, and suddenly a grin turned into a giggle, and each subsequent peekaboo earned another giggle! It was the sweetest sound. There's nothing like a happy baby. (And don't worry...the fist staring is still going in full force.)
Oh, and the crib didn't work last night. But she SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT in her cradle!!!! Yes, she slept through the night. This is one happy mommy, who slept from 10:30-5:15 this morning. Yes, that's early, but it's an eternity of sleep compared with the sleep we've been getting since before she was even born (when I was up all the time while 9 months pregnant). So this is a good day. A very good day. She slept through the night!!!!
One more thing....I've added a "comment" option at the bottom. Someone mentioned they'd like the opportunity to leave comments. Feel free...just make sure they're nice ones! :)
(Did I mention she slept through the night?)

CONGRATS!!! It's the best feeling in the world... waking up and realizing that you didn't get up to give her a bottle. It sounds like you're having so much fun with her... ours is just starting to take her first steps, amazing how time flys.
we miss you guys.
w/ love

I was wondering if you had any photographic evidence of her sleeping through the night? :O) Just kidding! Way to Go Rachel! Keep it up!
