Beatrix's No. 2

(A tower of her very own!)

Beatrix is two! We had a wonderful visit from the grandparents. They brought party dresses and party favors and party cakes. Granddad built this wonderful tower that we love. Daddy bought her a play castle the girls colored and painted. And momma made a yummy spead of popcorn, fish cakes, dolmas, and fresh fruit and veggies with dips.
The girls (Shakti, Irina, and Bea) played with the castle, drew with chalk and blew bubbles till they dropped.

As you can see we have been quite busy since my previous post...
We celebrated Beatrix's first birthday with family and pizza on St Valentine's Day. A week later we moved to our new house only a block away from the house Beatrix was born in. The neighborhood is great and the neighbor's have been welcoming. We went straight to work planting a kitchen garden in the big backyard as soon as we moved in. Easter brought us 4 chicks and they are living in their new house built by Christian from left over scraps from our neighbor's sculpture the Cathedral of Junk.
Beatrix enjoys the new yard and loves her chickens. She will make the ASL sign and say something that sounds a lot like chicken along with a "bok bok".

A Half Birthday!

Six months! It is really true - time does fly. Beatrix is 6 mos old and we couldn't be happier with her progress. She is such a sweet girl and very adventurous. She likes to do this crawl wiggle around the house after momma.

We started her on solid foods last week and she loves it - she has always showed interest in food - so far she has tried mashed bananas in breast milk; organic apple sauce (not crazy about); organic carrots, organic peas, and organic sweet corn pureed in breast milk; organic brown rice baby cereal (today).

Progress: signed 'dog' and can stand up from sitting on potty

Shame on Mommy!

I am really slacking on the posts and I am sorry. Tuesday B turned five months and daddy turned 35 years! She weighed in at 15lbs and 25". Pictures to follow... I SWEAR!
