Blah Blah Blah…
I’ve got nothing to post, but am posting anyway. We had a productive, busy weekend but didn’t get around to taking 3 month or Father’s Day photos of Sara. Soon, I hope. We’re also overdue on giving her a bath, but she is on Day #3 of her growth spurt and the accompanying piranha-like feeding frenzy that I had almost forgotten about from 3 weeks, 6 weeks, 9 weeks, etc. By the time she is even remotely ready for anything other than feeding, it’s 11:30 PM or like tonight, 12:30 AM. Tomorrow will definitely be a bath day because sponge baths only go so far when you’ve got a drool and spit-up machine (albeit a very cute, endearing one!)
I also still need to post my GPS track data from last weekend’s ride. Justin keeps reminding me, since he’s anxious to see the heartrate data on it. My heartrate strap’s batteries died on our first bike ride, so the data is much-anticipated… but it’s not going to get online until I manage to mate my GPS unit, a USB cable and my laptop together, and have Internet access (lately, the latter has been the quantity in short supply.)
Mom and Dad (mine, not Justin and I in the third person) are about midway through their Alaskan cruise to celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary. Check out my Mom’s still-growing entry chronicling their cruise — BlackburnDigest.com: Alaska Cruise ‘07.
Sara’s doing wonderfully, and continues to be a very easy baby (apart from the feeding frenzies of growth spurts). What with the hot Texas summer weather, we’ve missed our opportunity to take her on a camping trip — something Justin and I were really looking forward to pulling off. Sara enjoys the outdoors and I try to get her out for short, livable bursts as much as possible — checking out all the plants in her grandma’s backyard (my Mom’s the green thumb), coming along with me to check the mail or drop off a letter/Netflix in the mailbox, etc. We haven’t been doing much hiking/walking or stroller walking lately, but the heat hasn’t curtailed that so much as our sleep/wake schedule has — we aren’t usually up and ready (fed, dressed) to go before 9 AM, and any later it proves too hot to be worth attempting. I can’t wait until Fall!
