Partytime!

On the morning following a family get-together, M awoke, came downstairs and asked, "where are all the bodies?"

Also, recently she stated, "every body come back soon, mommy's house, watch apunzel, yeah!"

I think I may have a party planner on my hands!

Baby Bee is now standing up on everything! She is actually getting better projection for her demands at 4 am by standing up in her crib. It is amazing to see her standing. I see her in a new light...more independent, more herself.

A Prayer for Sleep

Dear God, please let my girls sleep peacefully through tonight. Tomorrow we can go back to the usual routine. I just need one good night.

Bye For Now, George...

Curious George has been dethroned! It is Me Mouse Cubhouse, over and over. I am already sick of it and am hoping that George will come into favor again soon. The good news is that hiding the remote and telling Miss M that Me Mouse went outside to play is working, at least for now.

Baby Bee & our Little Artiste

Baby Bee climbed up to standing on the ottoman yesterday! She is also balancing on her knees! Watch out...here she comes.

Little Miss M is going through watercolors at an amazing rate. Yesterday, between 3 and 6:30 pm she used up all of the lilac in a new set of paints. She leaves very little negative space on the paper. The paintings are quite nice.

We were playing on the deck yesterday afternoon. I had to run into the house for a minute. Miss M came to the door and said "Where are my shubles Mommy?." She had hidden them and wanted me to find them...when the were discovered she said,"here are!"

Boarding School for Babies?

Baby Bee was up from 1-3 AM this morning! I fed her. Twice. She refused to go back to sleep. Eventually, she broke me down and I put her in bed with me. The crying stopped and the crawling around started. Eventually she fell asleep and let me put her back in her crib. When she woke up this morning she was happy, all smiles. I can't say the same for me!

Baby Bee ... Breaking News... Meh, Meh. Deh, Da. Not even 8 months old!

M has been enjoying the blow-up pool on the deck. "I go swimmin' at beach." Yesterday M, Baby Bee and I all got into the pool! Baby Bee was happy to sit with me in the water and play with her toys. I think we are making great progress. I'm sure that it helped that the water was 80+ degrees. It is hard to be grumpy when I am surrounded with this kind of cuteness.

Phillies Game...Didn't Happen

DH had a rough day at work and couldn't get off the phone and Baby Bee refused to eat...and therefore be left with Grammy. We had a nice visit with Grammy and Pop.

M's First Phillies Game

Tonight we are heading out to see the Phillies and more importantly, the Phanatic. This is Miss M's first trip to Citizen's Bank Park! Baby Bee will be at Grammy's house...hopefully she will cooperate and we will not have to leave early.
