how bout...

so, claire has been stalling when it is time to go to bed. 'i'm hungee", she says. and since she hasn't been eating too much at dinner, we go downstairs and get something to eat. tonight, she is sitting at the counter (on our new bar stools - with backs!) and finishes her pbj. she says, "i'm still hungee" and starts looking around the kitchen, saying [drawn out], "how 'bout?......" "coffee". i just cracked up. no, claire. no coffee. time for bed. then, it was "whatcha doin' mommy". i'm cleaning up, claire. "i wanna clean up with mommy." okay, claire. so, i let her stay up a bit and put her toys away. not too bad. she was still in bed by 8pm, which is just fine.

laura is doing great. she LOVES solid food. she has had chicken and turkey and a bunch of different fruits and veggies. she still doesn't like puffs. i will have to get a picture of her face when we put one in her mouth. it is priceless.

i know, i know. i need to put lots of new pics up. i promise i will after this week - i have a deadline for work (wait, am i not on maternity leave? - ha!).
