8 Months, 6 Days and STANDING!

Yikes! Baby Bee is attempting to walk and is standing on her own for several seconds without falling. I wonder if walking will enable her to be more independant or just a better stalker :)

Daddy got his hair "pipped"

Yesterday when Tommy came home from work M noticed immediately that he had cut his hair...he was wearing a hat. After the hat came off to reveal a shorter style than she is used to, the comments started flying.

M: "Eddie's hair...no, no Daddy" (Uncle Eddie has a similar cut)
M: "Daddy pipped your hair?"
M: "Fix your hair Daddy...put back!"

Needless to say, the haircut was not a hit.

I also have to mention that when I got my first post-pregnancy haircut after Baby Bee was born and I cut off at least 8" M's reaction was that, "Grammy fix it, your hair."

In summary, I must have needed a new do, but Daddy was just fine as he was!

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!"
