an update.

Thanks for all the emails and prayers about how Ryan and I and our little girl are doing. I appreciate it!

Norah is doing a little bit better, still not great, but better. Ryan's cold is still there but due to a quick jump on Zicam I think he is already improving without getting it too bad. I'm fine. For Norah, I think the cough is happening less often and her stuffiness is better. I'm only booger sucking 2 or 3 times/day instead of 5 or 6!

As far as sleeping. Yuck. It has been horrible. She has been waking up so often and the worst part is she throws a fit and refuses to go back to sleep. Her napping is also following this pattern. As soon as she is completely over her sickness, we are going to jump right back into sleep training from "Good Night, Sleep Tight" This time we are going to follow it more strictly and there might will be some crying. But it's gotten way worse, and I'm worried about her getting enough sleep. Despite the lack of sleep, she has been in a pretty good mood.....and each day she gets cuter and cuter and her personality grows.

Here are some pics from a few days ago just hanging out and what else.......standing.
