Two more things…

1) It’s been a LONG time since I’ve
updated photos.datdec.com, but finally there is some new stuff.
I was dreading the task, but since we lost a ton of photos from
this year, the job went relatively quick :/ Check it out: photos.datdec.com

2) I wanted to mention how mobile Eve is getting these
days. She can roll herself anywhere she wants to go and moves
backward relatively easily, and now she’s starting to use her
toes to scoot forward. As I type she is laying on the floor
playing with the balls that came with the dragon toy. She
reaches for them, they roll away, she rolls after them :) Or
she rolls to the desk to play with the handles. Yesterday she
rolled to the bookshelf in the living room and started taking
the books down. All of this is coinciding nicely with her
reduced spitting up. Hehehe… now she’s laying on her back,
clapping her hands and grinning. She’s so perfect! I’m going to
go play with her :)

Hey Jealousy

We have our first daycare baby starting next
month and she came over for a few hours yesterday as a practice
run. Practice for me, my kids, her, and her mommy. We all need
some practice! She came right at nap time, which was tough, but
good since that’s the hardest part of the day. I was expecting
her to be fussy (she’s a baby, after all) and Lex to be
difficult (like I said, nap time), but what I was not expecting
was Eve to be jealous. That’s right, jealous! We were all
sitting on the floor reading stories and baby started crying. I
picked her up and Eve immediately reached for me and started
being fussy. It was so funny. Baby cried a lot and Eve cried
and Lex ran free. I ended up nursing Eve to sleep, rocking baby
in her carseat, and Lex got no nap. Like I said, we all need
some practice! Eve only took about a half hour nap (usually she
sleeps for a few hours). When she woke up, baby’s mommy was
back and Eve was all smiles. She kept looking at baby and then
giving me big hugs. She’s so mellow, but I guess there is a
jealous streak in there. So funny.
