It’s a wash

Bathtime is a real workout for Olivia. Lately, she’s been splashing so much that half the water will end up on the counter and floor, so we’ve started to put her baby tub into the larger tub to accommodate the overflow.

It wears her out–last night she fell asleep on the floor as I helped Ava finish her bath.

And, speaking of Ava, isn’t it amazing how early women learn this handy trick?

That explains all the drool

Olivia’s getting her first tooth! I felt it on Friday, and one corner was visible last night. This morning, you can see the entire top. I don’t recall how long it takes to fully emerge, but I do hope it goes quickly. It’s making her a bit crabby!

Update: Yeah, I know–you’re thinking, what tooth? But it’s there–bottom right. I swear. And, I think the one next to it is coming in as well!

A great blue heron in the ravine behind our house. Spectacular!

Overheard

Dad: “Ava, it’s time for bed. You’re exhausting.”

Ava: “No I amn’t!”

I don’t need this.

Right?

Good luck!

Overheard

Ava: “Get down from there RIGHT NOW. I am tired of this EVERY NIGHT!”

Mom: “Ava, that’s not a very nice way to talk to your babies.”

Ava: “Well, I know, but sometimes I get FRUSTRATED because they will not go to SLEEP.”

You don’t say.

First bites

I thought it might be interesting to document each time Olivia tries a new food. (The moms just cheered simultaneously, everyone else fell asleep.)

If you’re still with me, here’s Olivia’s first taste of oatmeal. She loved it!

 

 

She tried a BlackBerry too…
