Sisters...Sisters...There Were Never Such Devoted Sisters

Reagan and Presley are getting so cute together! Reagan is such a good big sister and loves to hug on Presley. Presley thinks Reagan is the greatest thing ever and loves to clap and laugh with Reagan. Mama is very relieved that they're starting to play together a bit. Since there's no preschool or Kinderdance this summer, it could be a very long one for Mama if the girls aren't able to entertain each other!

"Just Say 'Yes' " to Baby Einstein

I've decided that Baby Einstein is like crack for babies--or maybe I mean Xanax (I'm not really sure if crack is a sedative or an upper). Either way, it's like a drug. Presley has been cranky all evening, and nothing seemed to settle her. In a desperate moment, I pulled out the old DVDs and chose Baby Mozart. She and Reagan are now both quietly seated, watching intently. Amazing!

I'm actually kind of surprised, considering I never enjoyed history or anything remotely like it...

What a Difference a Couple of Weeks Make

Wow! Presley just started crawling about two weeks ago, and already we are having to re-think our baby-proofing. So far she has climbed the stairs, taken DVDs and videos out of the cabinet, hit miscellaneous buttons on various electronic equipment, and basically had her hands on everything that is two feet or below to the ground!

We're trying to make sure all the toys with tiny pieces are in Reagan's room, where Presley doesn't go, since she also puts everything in her mouth now. The irony here is that she coughs and gags every time I try to feed her baby food with the least amount of texture in it (those 3s are hard to get used to!), but she'll put anything she finds on the floor right into her mouth.

I'm sure Reagan did pretty much the same things, but it seems to have snuck up on us this time. Fortunately, we never took the outlet covers or cabinet locks off, so we have only a few minor adjustments to make. And even though we will take every measure to baby-proof our house, ultimately, we'd like to house-proof our baby!
