August 8, 2007:

Today has been a big day. First of all we started off with a really good night's sleep!! She slept from 7 PM to 5:45 AM! She ate and went back to sleep until 8 o'clock. Whatever we did last night we need to try and do again!

All that good rest helped her get off to a good start this morning. As you can see from some of the pictures Pace is now sitting up by herself. She can only hold it for a few seconds, but long enough for me to snap a photo or two. She is quite proud of herself and we will keep practicing.

We also had a playdate today with Jack and Lanie. They came over for lunch and spent a few hours this afternoon. Pace enjoyed all the activity although she was ready for a nap after all the excitement. Plus, she needed to catch a few zzzz's before her big date tonight. She and her Daddy had a dinner date at the Red Barn. We went early at 5:45 PM after she ate a big bowl of green beans. Mama took her Bumbo and she sat right on the table and chewed on her toys. She seemed to enjoy being in a barn. It was a quick meal because she was ready for her bath and to get in bed. She and I walked home from Bennie's to work off some of our dinner and it was so hot even this late in the day. She then took a quick bath and off for a good rest (here's hoping!).
