Lydia has perfected her pincher grasp. She tries to pick up everything with her thumb and first finger! She is an expert at getting cherrios, puffs and bits of fuzz into her mouth. :) She also knows how to look under or in things for things she wants. I took this video of her today. Before I started the video she would take the cup and pull the cherrio out of it but then when I started videoing she was getting tired of the cherrio game and figured it was more fun to shake the cherrios out of the cup. As you can see in the video we had a little four legged helper too. :)

Lydia and I both have yucky colds right now. Lydia started hers on Friday and I started mine yesterday. She was miserable yesterday but seems much better today. She just has a little runny nose and a bit of a cough now. She hasn't been able to breathe through her nose until today so I'm hoping she will be able to sleep better tonight. I, on the other hand, can not breathe through my nose now so I doubt I'll be sleeping much. Her cold hasn't helped our efforts of getting her to sleep better at night. She's been in bed with me the last two nights so I could sit her up when she started gagging on snot. She actually coughed up a bunch of gunk today and sounds a lot clearer now. It will be good when we can teach her how to blow her nose. :)
