Sleep Progress!

Sleep!  11 -12 hours of beautiful sleep. After not allowing Teagan to nap for one day, she slept from 7-7.  Yes, she fell asleep at dinner with her head on the tray before that happened, but it worked!


Since then, even with a nap, she has been able to sleep from 730 pm- 730 am or 8 pm to 8 am.  Catherine would sleep until 9 am every day, so this is good work time for us without someone else watching Teagan. 3 hours before she gets up and 2 hours or so during nap. I probably should not count  my chickens though, as we are only on day 3:) (and I probably should not use my work time to BLOG!).


While Catherine is at camp (forts and drama this week) - we've been trying to get Teagan out in the sun each day to help her reset her clock and just have some fresh air. We are lucky to have parks all over. IN fact, Jason just read that the original city ordinance was for no house in minneapolis to be more than 6 blocks from a park.

At Linden Hills Park, her favorite spot is the grass.

She really likes the park by Lake Harriet on the hill and today we tried the Lake Calhoun park while Jason ran the lakes.

She really likes going up and down steps.

And up through this walk way.

And sitting in this little house.

She was interested to see other kids, but wanted to be held anytime any of them looked at her.

Baby swings are also a big favorite.

The happiest we've seen her is in our living room, when all four of us are there. She loves to run around and play peekabo and some other game that involves her running and screaming. She also loves Popsicles.

We finally developed the film from the cameras we sent with her care packages. I sent her 4 packages and now I wish I had sent cameras with each one. I sent a camera in 2 of them. They show a good look at her daily life at Angel's Home.  We were able to see her crib and how she ate and her caretakers and her playing with other children, dancing, crawling, and so on. There were a lot with Yao Yao (Grace) in them which was nice. I didn't see her other friend, Suhn in any photos.
