While the Wee One is sleeping and Gal Smiley and Captain Jelly Belly are watching a movie, I figured I’d make up for a month’s worth of non-posting :).

The Wee One turned one month old on the weekend and it’s crazy how time flies. She is already too long for most of our newborn/0-3 month baby clothes, and I’ve started to pack that stuff up, along with all my maternity wear, to send to my younger sister. I can tell that I’m done having kids because I feel really excited to have this stuff out of my house, even though it is a little bit sad to think that the itty bitty teeny tiny socks won’t be worn again in our household. Actually, I think I will put a pair of the little socks in my kids’ keepsake box just in case I get a little misty-eyed in the future.

The Wee One continues to do great and we really couldn’t ask for better. She is going to bed around 7pm, getting up around 1am to eat, and then going back to bed until 4:30 or 5am. Not too shabby (but, do me a favour and pretend you didn’t just read that, because Sir Monkeypants keeps saying that if we keep telling people about what good sleeping she is doing, we will jinx it). Also, she has started smiling, which is seriously the best thing ever. She smiles freely for me and her dad, and sometimes for the Captain too. It’s exciting and heart warming.

Gal Smiley is doing well, too. We’ve decided to step back from the toilet training, as she continues to really resist it, and we think it’s just too much change at once for her. We will try again this fall. In the meantime we are spending more time with her and she’s happier, plus she has a cute little pixie haircut that I gave her last week that is just adorable.

And the Captain continues to be the rather fanatical head of the Wee One fan club. He gets so excited to see her that he gets right in her face and squeals and says her name over and over. It’s really cute, so we will have to catch it on film so we can play it over and over for him when she does something annoying like take his Lightening McQueen and try to eat it. 🙂
