Things I Want Recorded

Caroline cut her FOUR top teeth. Oh, they are cuuuute! (March 9th). Update 4/26/10: she just cut her 7th!

Maggie was ordering me around. Do this, do that. I was only half paying attention while I checked my email and I did something she had not asked for. She said, "mommy, you misunderstood". Such adult words!

Maggie is crazy about learning to count to 100. We do it all the time! It's tiring to me, really. She can count (and write) to 20 by herself...then it gets laborious. Update 4/26/10: she can count to 50 without any help.

Caroline has recently decided that tummy sleeping is her thing. It totally freaks me out because she looks like she's suffocating when I view her at night through the monitor. I tried for days to roll her onto her back but she would be back on her tummy in less than a minute. I gave up but it still makes me a little uneasy.

While at book group the other day (Mar 11th) Patrick texted me to say Caroline had crawled two full strides. I was so sad to have missed it I almost started crying in the middle of my group of ladies! He said she took the two strides then got scared and put her little forehead on the ground and whimpered. Ahhhh. For the record, I've been putting her on her hands and knees every day since and begging her to crawl. Nothing. She smiles and is very sweet but she's not about to give it up.

Update: Caroline is a crawler! Her first full (but very hesitant) crawl was April 14th. She must be a fast learner because she's pulled to a standing position just ONE short day after. I'm writing this on April 26th and we still have steady, but hesitant, crawling with lots of pulling up to standing. She's very proud....and very wobbly!



Maggie asking for some dried blueberries: "Can I have some of those old dried up blueberries?"
Learning to use the computer, and most importantly the mouse, has made Maggie a very a happy camper. She likes playing the little games on Sprout's website. Occasionally she wanders: Patrick said he was excited about the frame I'd bid on via eBay. Huh?? He showed me and sure enough it was in our account but I had not done it. Maggie.

That is so funny that she bid on a frame. I would die. At least Patrick was excited about it.

I am so impressed with your documentation of milestones. I am such a bad mom, it's all a blur. I think they all move and have all their teeth... I think.

Good job Maggie with your counting! Good job Caroline with your crawling! Good job Diana with your record keeping!

Maggie bid on something on Ebay?! Impressive! Will I get to see your girls at the cousin's lunch? They are soooo adorable.
