Raina has had quite an interesting day thus far. She started out by calmly waiting in her crib for mommy and daddy to come retreive her. She sucked on her arm and sleeve in the meantime, and concentrated on producing quite a large amount of poo. Later, at the YMCA, she peed all over Debi (one of the workers) and -- according to Debi -- was exceedingly happy afterwards and went immediately to sleep. Raina has been impressing us lately with her strength -- both neck and leg strength. She can support her own weight for quite a long time (either happy or angry) and she held her head up for a good 5 minutes this afternoon. The most impressive feat, though, was that Raina managed to roll herself over. She started on her belly and she planked herself upwards to look at the design on the floor. She wiggled her bottom closer (lost her balance, I think) and then plopped over bottom first and then followed by her head. She seemed quite shocked to have such am immediate change in scenery. I tried to get her to repeat the action but she hasn't done it as yet. She was more interested in staring at the playland's floor design.

Eric returned to the land of crazy Raina nighttime experiences. Last night, around midnight, he woke me up, exclaiming "look at that!" He was pointing at the ceiling, but I didn't see anything out of the ordinary. I asked him what I was supposed to see and he responded, "Raina. She's a GHOST!"
And then we went right back to sleep.
