Blackberry

Robert has been hard at work preparing for the opening of Wonder Works.  This weekend they had a soft opening allowing visitors to pop in and check out some of what was complete at a discounted rate.  The grand opening is today at noon (good luck, babe!).

Spending the weekend alone is not really my preference, but I realized after looking through my phone this morning that I don't let Robert miss much of what we're doing while he is away.  Our trips to Target, our adventures in the backyard and even our musical experiences in the car (this one is a real treat) are recorded and then sent to Dada via my Blackberry.  While I'm sure Robert enjoys our heartfelt messages, most of what I send is for my own amusement and entertainment.  It's my way of having an adult to communicate with.

Lounging Around

Listening to Music in the Car

(Observe how Evan becomes possessed by the song - mouth and eyes get really weird)

Transition

Well, I got some unwanted exercise last night - four sets to be exact.

Transitioning to the nursery seemed completely effortless until my first awakening at 1:30 am.  Mattie Jane's pitiful cry woke me quickly out of a deep slumber and a really interesting dream that I was disappointed I couldn't finish.  I climbed the stairs up to the nursery to find that all three pacifiers had fallen out of the crib (and they say bumpers aren't good for anything).  In a matter of seconds I gave Mattie her pacifier and placed the extras in arm's reach - we were good to go.

Until 3 am 
Then 4:30 am
And finally 6 am

Would Social Services come and get me if I strapped the pacifier to my baby's face?

Hopefully tonight will be better.  I'm not gonna give in and bring her back downstairs.  If anything, I may have to suffer through taking away her pacifier all together.  Lord, help us if that happens.

It wasn't too long ago that I took Evan's last picture in his crib...

 
Mattie Jane has officially taken over and posed for her first pictures in what is now her crib...
