Rainbow After the Storm

Last week was a little rough with Cade.  He was just getting over a cold and was not sleeping well because he was coughing which, I'm guessing, kept him from being able to get himself to sleep.  He was waking up between 3 and 4 a.m. and not really going back to sleep.  After a few nights of this, I was utterly exhausted.  Todd has always functioned well on little sleep, but I was left feeling like I had been thoroughly tortured.  I couldn't complain; this was really the first time that Cade had several nights in a row without sleeping well.  We got back on track around Thursday and we went to the mall to celebrate!  We ate in the food court, got a few outfits, and bought Cade his first pair of tennis shoes.  When we got home Cade had a couple new tricks to show off!  He got himself into a sitting position from his tummy a couple of times and was putting his blocks into things and on top of other toys which I had never seen him do before (until now, he's only been interested in taking things out of other things, not putting them back in or on top).  He was also handing blocks to me.  It's funny how seemingly tiny things can make all the difference at the end of a long week. 

Feeling better now!
