Nights are still not perfect, but they're improving. Callie still wakes up often, but it's a little easier to get her back to sleep. In fact, I slept quite well last night--Callie never came to our bed! But then again, neither did Sara.
The night before last, all three of us were in our bed. Sara and I both woke around 4:30am because Callie was awake. But this time she wasn't crying. She was talking, real quiet. Neither of us moved, just listened. "Ba ba, Dad-dy. Cal-lie. Ma-ma, Mom-my. Cal-lie." Etc. Sara and I both got the impression she was rehearsing new words.
Sara has often touched herself and said "Mommy," then me and said "Daddy," then Callie and said "Callie," going back and forth repeatedly for some time, teaching Callie our names. I wish you could have heard Callie reciting her "lessons." It was very cute!
Sara said she did the same thing again early this morning, practicing words such as "Daddy," "Mommy," and "Andrew."
Other Callie news: She's still potty-trained, essentially getting Sara's attention in one way or another that she has to go. This is a good thing; Sara says she's horrible at potty-training.
Callie also spent some time outdoors yesterday, unsure of walking on grass but willing to try. She loves the outdoors. Later, she was out with Caty, Anna, and her cousin Aza watching Caty blow bubbles and Aza pop them.
Callie continues to adapt and transition. She's doing well. Nonetheless, we look forward to her sleeping through the night in her own bed without one of us in it. And we look forward to all of us being healthy; everyone except me is in some stage of a cold (though Callie's almost done with it).
