back to the potty

Whew, after a few weeks of only using the potty as a sitting place, B has resumed using it to eliminate into. I have not had to wash a load of diapers in days and still only have a partial load in the wash today.

5 Months

Strong and healthy!
Beatrix is crawling and she is crawling fast. She can climb Mt Mommy with ease.
She loves to play with her best friend Irina (13mos) and will mimic her as much as humanly possible at this point.
Mommy found a new furbaby and he's turned out to really like the baby and vice versa, so I guess he is staying.

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!

12 weeks

I wanted to post this picture to give everyone a frame of reference to how big Beatrix is now; and, it is also a great demonstration of how much muscle control she has gained.
She has sat up alone for over a minute this week, rolled over to check something out on the floor and rolled back over to go about her business. We are amazed by her progress everyday.

New favorite toys:
Octopus, hands, and mouth.

Happy Mother's Day

Baby Momma and all the babies (with a stern grip on Waffles, of course).

Ten Weeks

reaching out to pet her dog

Ten weeks ago tonight I was in active labor... tonight, I am hanging out with the kiddo, playing and cooing and TOUCHING toys and doggies. What a cool thing.

We had our 2 month exam yesterday and the Doc said Beatrix was doing things at a 4 mo level. She referred to my milk as supermilk (hehe)! Trixie is the coolest thing I have ever grown.
