We also officially have crawling - on her hands and knees - as of tonight. She has finally worked up the nerve to move her left hand forward. Coupled with a new sense of coordination between her legs and arms, she is a burgeoning crawling dynamo. Guess it's time to baby proof? I found out today in my refresher Infant CPR class that most household plants are not poisonous. In fact, it would take ingesting 30 leaves of a poinsettia plant to knock out a baby. Even Sasha doesn't have an appetite that big.
This week has flown by due to all the fun times we've had. On Monday, we went to our first Sitters & Rollers class as Sasha long ago graduated to the 6 - 9 month old group. It was a blast seeing all the babies sitting with straight backs in a circle, checking each other out and stealing each other's toys.
On Tuesday, we went swimming with some friends - Kyra and baby Ayla, and Jen and baby Jonas. We kept the babies from turning blue in the frigid 85 degree water by alternating our swim time with breaks in the sauna. My CPR instructor was a little concerned about both the "turning blue" and "sauna break" portions of my swimming story. Um, next time we'll get out as soon as gums start chattering and no sauna for over 1 minute.

So, I started this THREE days ago and finally have time to get back to it.
We went swimming again on Friday, with Misha, Stuart, and Blix. Coleman Pool is great because it's a saltwater pool, is heated, and looks out over the beautiful Sound. My only complaint is that it was packed with every member of the Boys & Girls Club. We did manage to find a somewhat peaceful spot in the pool where Sasha and Blix could practice their moves. Sasha does a mean breast stroke.
I'm hoping we can get over to the Zoo today, if we can find anyone to join us. Otherwise, maybe we'll just take a walk in the Arboretum.
Here's a picture of Sasha and Jay on our blueberry picking expedition a couple of weekends ago.
They aren't really that pale.
