 Things are going well. Rose is talking often, warming up her voice for when she learns words and needs to compete with her brothers. She's also been blowing bubbles a lot because her teeth are starting to come in and she's gotten pretty drooly. Still full of smiles. Sometimes she doesn't like being held by others and tries to get back to her mom. She's learned a new trick of grabbing her left foot, and then usually rolls over onto her side. She hasn't found her right foot yet. Her brothers continue to be excited about her and talk to her and entertain her. Oliver always comes with a lot of energy. Finn tells her stories with toys while Oliver is off at school. We have another cold, but it doesn't bother her too much, barely protests and hasn't really made it hard for her to nurse. We went and saw an opera written by her Grandpa Howard and Rose was pretty interested in the music (her brothers were entranced and sitting on the edge of their seats.) Moving forwards.
