friday. again.

Another week gone. Sigh.

Ellie's turning into a speed demon. Last week, working quickly while my back was turned, she decided that she loves the sound that the floor furnace makes when she bangs on it (luckily, it was off at the time). So, she has necessitated the first use of baby gates in our new home. She doesn't quite get her belly up, but she's *fast*. She's also started using "bubba" for "brother", "papapapapa" for "Papa", and "mamamamamama" for "hey, you, with the milk."

I've started working on numbers with Tristan, with the incentive that he'll get his very own wristwatch when he can recognize each of them. So far, he knows 0, 3, 4, and 5 fairly consistently. We've also started doing a craft time after a (very necessary and newly implemented) rest time. It's going well. With his desire for more kiddo interaction, I'm also trying out a new weekly schedule where we go to the playground, library storytime, and zoo, on set days of the week. He's been really enjoying it so far.

Blog quiz thingy of the week:

You Are 29 Years Old

20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences.

What Age Do You Act?
