The big bed...

Dylan's big boy bed arrived today, and it is very popular. He's actually sleeping in it now--went down without a problem. He's slept in a regular bed before, but we were still wondering if he would have issues with it. Especially since he has been crying and resisting going to bed lately. But he's tucked away under his new duvet with the awesome ikea animal cover, and we're looking forward to seeing how he does in the morning.

It is Laurence's birthday today. We went to Rapi, the Indian restaurant just up the road from us, for dinner. It was a late one, but both kids were totally good for it. The food was good, the company was even better. Nobody fought and we were all in good spirits. So pretty much it was a great night.

Edith smiled at me tonight while we were having our evening cuddles. I know it's probably just gas, but it was sweet all the same. She is incredibly beautiful when she smiles. I know I said some unkind things about her looks earlier, but she is getting gorgeous now! She's also getting really strong and is starting to hold her head up to look around. She is awake more often, but still sleeps most of the time. Nights are usually pretty good. She goes back to sleep right after her night feeds most of the time.

Martin is still waiting to hear about some job stuff, but he's been getting extra hours and is managing to stay busy. He's going to his first baseball practice tomorrow, and is really looking forward to it. He'll be playing games soon, and we will have to figure out how to manage the double headers with both kids around. Could be interesting! But he loves baseball so much, and has been so good with the kiddies and taking care of me, so I want him to go.

Anyway, things are good here. We've got a busy week ahead of us. Dylan is at the hospital on Thursday to have his heart checked and I am going to register Edith's birth on Friday (last chance to change our minds about her name). I'll be venturing out with both kids on my own--scary business. We'll let you know how it goes. Plus, I have some good pictures to post as soon as I take a few more and it makes it worth while to put them on the computer.
