Monday

B is obsessed with her Christmas books and we read them many, many times each day. She loves one of the books that has pictures of animals that were at the birth of Jesus and she can now tell us what the dove, chicken, cow, rooster, and sheep say.

This morning we went to Music Class then to Babies R Us to buy a baby gate for the stairwell. B fell asleep while we were there so I walked around for an hour. I found a crib that converts to a toddler bed so I think that may solve our bed dilemma--I didn't want to push B into sleeping in a toddler bed if she wasn't ready when the baby came. So now the new baby will sleep in the new crib until B is ready for a toddler bed and then we'll switch. B and I had lunch at Siamese--it was our first time having lunch alone at a restaurant. It was a little bit tricky, but we had fun. B ate some scrambled egg and a couple of ears of baby corn. She also sucked on the lemon wedge from my water.

Here's a pic of B from Saturday when she ate Goldfish while sitting on the laptop:

And here's a pic of B eating her lemon wedge at lunch today:
