So much NEW

Dylan's view is new, and everything's going well while he settles in. Things are changing and settling for us on the homefront, too, like what happens after nap, how the cooking gets done, and when the kiddos bathe. But Dylan's view!

Ada's teefus are new, and she weighs 16 lbs at 26" long. We knew she had those two bottom, front teeth coming through, but her sleep was so insanely rough for 3 full days & nights that we took her in to see the doc to rule out other things wrong. After checking her ears, nose, and chest, he put a tongue depressor in her mouth, lifted her teeny baby lips and - wowza! - she's working on 6! Two bottom center, and all four top center! We didn't even think to look up there, yet, but the doc said they're coming in like popcorn. We're relieved all that work and lack of sleep are for something productive.




Her climbing up on things is new, and she loves it. So far she's landed back on her bum, but I'm sure the face-plant is on its way.

Paul's feeding her is new (and adorbs) - he is a really great big brother. Nuff said.

His Lightening McQueen and Thomas undies are new! And have stayed dry for 4 days so far - woo! Yes, we bribed with ice cream. For, like, a month. Every #2 in the potty got us all a bowl of ice cream. (#1 gets him a chocolate chip, but we haven't had an accident there in months.) It's the #2 that's been the kicker ... we're out of ice cream "Ooo, big boy underwear! Keep Thomas and Lightening McQueen dry, now!" Done.

Dylan and I went to a movie. In a movie theater! We saw "Gone Girl" - thank you for watching a napless Adeline, Nana!!

And the weather's new! Highs in the 70s, thank you very much.

Then there's this - can only get one kid to look at any given time. Ah well.
