What's the RDA for Decibels?

On Sunday, Sasha took up a new hobby: being VERY LOUD. I think she just realized that she has a volume control, and is seeing how it works for her. Unfortunately, she took up loudness in her spare time while we were out at Cheesecake Factory having lunch. I would have ushered her out of there, but pretty much every other table around us had a stroller, so I doubt anyone came there expecting a nice, quiet meal.

Her loudness is not nonstop, thank heavens. But every now and again (several times a day), you can see her little baby brain ticking away and coming up with, "Hey, this would be a good time to be loud!" And she yells. She continues to emit a yell every ten seconds or so, until she feels she has reached her cumulative decibel goal. Then she goes about her regular business again.

Sasha had her first grilled cheese sandwich last night. She quite seemed to enjoy it, despite only having a tooth and a half with which to gnaw. Every day, she seems another inch taller.

My kitchen is: Being cleaned by somebody else, Right Now. Life just doesn't get a lot better than that.
