Sadbh had a good sleep and despite having to be tucked in a couple of times throughout the night, she didn’t wake up until 5am Saturday morning.
Once she was fed and had her diaper changed, she was back to sleep for another few hours.
After Sadbh’s morning nap, Katie headed off to a yoga class and I got to spend the morning with my little girl.
After feeding Sadbh some cereal, we got to play for a couple of hours until she was ready for her next nap.
We had a busy afternoon planed, so we figured it would be a perfect time to manage trach care.
Sadbh slept through the first half of trach care and before we got her trach ties back on, her eyes shot open and she was lying there just looking up at us.
Fortunately she did not get fussy and allowed my father to finish off what he had started.
I had hoped that she would go back to sleep since she only got about 20 minutes sleep all morning, but she wasn’t having any of it so I was time for food and more playtime.
In the last week or so, when she’s sitting up on the wood floor, she has started to scoot herself around, especially if she is chasing her toys.
Sadbh has these egg shaped rattlers that she received from Marie and Roy in Cork, and today she spent the late morning scooting around the floor chasing one of them. Since they are egg shaped, every time she grabs a hold of one of them, it slips out of her hand and rolls away across the floor.
At one point, I noticed that she had scooted herself up to the couch and with her little legs under the couch, she had gotten herself stuck in a position where she couldn’t figure out how to back away.
It was very funny to watch, especially when she started to eat the couch.
Sadbh got to Skype with my mom back in Cork and was excited to see her grandmother.
Later in the evening, our friends Keith and Charlene invited us out on their boat for a cruise around Lake Washington as part of the Seattle Christmas Ship Festival.
What a treat this was, so we dressed Sadbh up in a lovely red holiday dress that my mom had sent over and joined our friends for a trip out on the lake.
It was a beautiful day, and despite being very cold, the lake was very calm.
Keith and Charlene put on quite the spread and spoiled us with their hospitality.
We were hoping for Sadbh to meet one of their friends, Michelle since she is a regular reader of the blog, however she was unable to make it, maybe the next time.
Sadbh was in her element throughout the evening and got to spend a lot of time playing with Cormac and Clodagh.
We were very impressed with how long Sadbh went before she needed to sleep, since she had not slept since close to 11am until 8:30pm.
When we got home, Sadbh had a quick feed and was quickly bundled up and put to bed.
A perfect ending to a perfect day.
All the best,
Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
