Delaney and Daddy got into a battle of wills--of whether to watch Elmo (Laney's choice) or a baseball game (Daddy's choice). Daddy won-barely.

Laney said--I like kissies from my mommy. And it made my week.

In the past two weeks, Laney and Elliot have had four different babysitters-and done wonderfully each time. What a difference six months make.

Elliot's favorite books right now are Wheels On The Bus, Busy Bunnies (yes, this is a very manly book), Goodnite Moon and Zoo Animals.

Elliot had his first nitemare this week. He woke up in the middle of the nite, screaming and shaking. After a few minutes of snuggles, he was calm and sleepy. He was too sweet. I resisted the urge to put him in our bed and put him back to sleep in his crib.

Elliot is into throwing everything-and I mean everything-he turns everything into a ball and throws / kicks it across the room. As a result, I have a swollen lip and Laney has had more than her fair share of bruises and scrapes.
