Lollipop

Betsy has an awesome new trick. A couple of days ago I sang the 50s song "Lollipop" to her and there's a part in it where you put your finger in your mouth and make a popping sound. Well, B thought that was the coolest thing ever. The next time I started singing it, she immediately put her finger in her mouth and tried to make the sound. When it didn't work she put it in my mouth to try to make the sound. So now whenever I start to sing it she sticks her finger in her mouth. It is very cute and I hope to catch it on video soon.

B is also pointing at everything now and saying "dat" as she points.

Yesterday we went to the Park then to Story Time at Latter. We met Ticia & Will and Evelyn & Georgia. The babies crawled around, talked, and pulled up on anything they could. We left Story Time early and let the kids go wild in the kids' section of the library. I think we're going to give up on Story Time for a while, because the kids aren't too interested in it. Afterwards we went to PJs and B crashed. In the afternoon we met Andrea & William at the Parenting Center. I think B was in awe of his speed walking. Marme came over yesterday afternoon to visit. We love her Tuesday afternoon visits.

This morning we went to the Park again. Betsy seems to really enjoy our walks; she leans back and drinks her morning bottle while we walk. We met Kris & Lauren & Ryan and Jessica & Reed at the Children's Museum. B slept for the first 45 minutes while we were there. When she awoke she went wild and played with the dozens of puzzles and puppets--we only have 2 puzzles and 1 puppet at home and those are her favorites. In the afternoon we did some errrands then went to see Aunt Katie and Lola. They were waiting for us at the door and as soon as B saw Lola she said "pup pup." She's started to say it when she sees dogs, but she usually whispers it. She said it loud and clear today and nearly jumped out of my arms to go to Aunt Katie. Once we got home she was in a fussy mood and any time I walked out of the room she would bawl. She went to sleep at 7 tonight. We're just waiting for her to get up. Maybe, just maybe she'll sleep all night....

Here are some pics. (I let B go crazy with a wedge of watermelon yesterday).
