7 months

I can't believe another month has flown by. Perhaps it's all the excitement of firsts, or maybe the lack of sleep . . . hard to say.

Anyhoo, Beatrice is 7 months old. She is still a big baby - off-the-charts for height and 90th percentile for weight. She is able to stay sitting [that is, until her head gets too heavy and tips her over] and is trying desperately to crawl. She does manage to move around. With a series of rolling and scootching, she manages to get where she wants to be [of course, that is usually a place she sees something small to put in her mouth]

I'm looking forward to seeing what this month brings . . . maybe curls, teeth, a good night sleep?

more beatrice

Auntie Linda has asked for more pics of Trix, doing some of the things she does. OK, here ya go . . .

I call this one, "new hat"


and this one I call, "lunch"

I hope that satisfies you some - it's going to be hard to catch up to three years of Lucy . . .

big doin's

Lucy went to her cousin's house with Grammy [in the gold car] all by herself today. This was a big deal, usually she won't go anywhere unless Mommy come[s].*

I must admit, although I was very proud of Lucy, I felt a little sad as she drove away waving out the car window.

*One exception is if I am already out of the house - I was not this morning.

accepted

Lucy has finally been accepted to preschool after being wait-listed.

School in September, our little girl is growing up . . .

It's a 4-day program, 2.5 hrs a day - hopefully, not too much to handle [for me more than her . . . sniff]

princess of all media

Lucy has had her first voice-over gig, thanks to Nellie.

Listen for Lucy to say, "rounded fat-face." [It's in the first commercial.]



Watch out Howard Stern, Lucy is on her way . . .

If you're interested, you can buy the cool tiger t-shirt Nellie's wearing - she makes/sells them. mattsaundersbynellie.etsy.com
