Third PP marathon - another PR

I ran the Oakland marathon today and did another PR, 3:20. I loved the race although the course was the hardest I have ever run, uphill for the first 10 miles. The pacer I ran with was amazing and helped a lot getting me in on time. I placed 5th overall in the women and even won a $100 cash prize. Very exciting, and very unexpected.

Second post partum marathon - PR!

I ran the Napa Valley marathon on March 7 and was able to PR! Time was 3:23. It was an amazing race, perfect weather and perfect course. I didn't get a lot of sleep the night before as Sarah was awake for an hour between midnight and 1 am, and I had to get up at 4:30 am to drive up to Napa.

Tall tall girl

We had Sarah's 6 month appointment yesterday. She measured 27.5 inches (97th percentile) and 17 lbs 10 oz (83rd percentile). Such a tall girl! The pedi was very happy with her development and told us we should start looking into classes, as she is so interested in everything and active. We'll probably take her swimming soon, she loves the water and is always trying to swim in her bath.

First teeth (yes, two)

Sarah got her first teeth today. The bottom front ones both appeared today. Little sharp teeth, and she is so happy! She had been teething hard over the weekend and today she is so good.

Dropped the dreamfeed

Another big milestone - Sarah is truly sleeping through the night now. We were able to drop the dreamfeed (which we had at around 11 pm). She goes to sleep around 7:15 pm and sleeps until 7:15 am. It is amazing...she is such a great baby.

Sarah's first Christmas

Sarah's first Christmas was really nice. My dad visited for almost three weeks and Sarah is totally taken by him. She laughs out loud every time she sees him. She must think he is really funny...So cool.

Time is flying and since I started working again, no time to post. Instead, I am taking hundreds of pictures to capture Sarah's development.

Sarah's first Halloween

We went to Charlie's for Sarah's first Halloween yesterday and had a blast. All four of us dressed up as cats, very appropriate given the acronym for our names KATS (Kathi, Alessa, Tom, Sarah). Sarah was wide eyed and amazed at first, but then fell asleep and slept peacefully in her car seat, through all the noise and the award for cutest she won (Ghost busters 2 DVD).
