happy 1/2 year birthday!

Yep, the Trixster is 6 months old!

Beatrice has come a long way in the past 1/2 year. She can now smile, laugh, sing, eat solid food, roll over, hold her own bottle, demand and grab for toys, "find the kitty," and slide back in the army crawl . . .

We are still awaiting the curls, teeth, and a good night's sleep . . .

a good night sleep

No, not me.

Auntie Janice brought Lucy her new big girl bed and she loves it! Lucy couldn't wait for bed time, then jumped right in [without even reading any stories] and slept there all night. She says she is feeling, "just a little bit grown up."

Thank you, Auntie Janice!

Now to get her sister into the available crib . . .

jinxed

There will be no more talk of sleeping through the night!

aligned planets?

I think the planets must have been aligned yesterday. Lucy spent the whole day in big-girl underpants [after a 6 month hiatus], and used the potty every time she needed to go.

Then, as a cake-topper, Trixie slept from 7:30 pm 'til 6:00 am [trick-or-treat!]

Now, a gratuitous picture.

Let's hope this is the start of something good . . .
