Because Girls trust their Daddies

So we had some friends over for dinner today, and in order to play a little later than 7:00pm we all put our kids to bed. I put Princess A to bed in her crib, Alex put Princess M to bed in our bed, and Our friend put Little L (M's friend) to bed in M's bed.

Upon leaving A's room, I stopped in ours to check on M before going downstairs. She was lying in bed, holding this china doll.



I asked her if she was playing with the doll before going to bed. Her reply was very matter-of-fact and resigned. "Well, Daddy gave me this doll to cuddle with in bed... It's kinda hard."

I asked her if she would like a soft animal to cuddle with, "Yeah, but L is in my room so Daddy can't get one."

I told her I could go look for one for her in the other rooms of the house, "Yeah, but I don't think there are any."

I happen to know that there are stuffed animals all over the house so I quickly returned with one so she wouldn't have to "cuddle" with a hunk of wood. It just cracked me up how resigned she was to her fate; no pouting or whining, just matter-of-fact resignation.

"Well... it's kinda hard."

Alex informed me he was giggling inside when he handed her the doll.

Wow! It's been a while...Here's what's been happening:

Found this photo that a friend of ours took. Aren't she adorable?!


My sister had her baby the end of April and the girls and I headed out to Utah to "help out." We stayed for a week, had great fun at Great Grandma's house, endured a brutal 24 hour flu that circulated to EVERYONE except the new baby (luckily), and just got to spend some wonderful time with family.


The moment we arrived home from Utah, Princess M literally crawled out of the car into the house with a fever. We battled it with a rigid regimen of Tylenol and Motrin, but she kept spiking back up to 104 degrees for an entire WEEK! Poor girl spent the entire week lying down. She got to watch a LOT of movies that week! And I'm still trying to break her from sleeping in my bed now that she's better.

Needless to say with all this excitement, I haven't gotten around to blogging much. However, one noteworthy event of the past week that must be recorded for posterity (and everyone else who cares):

She's now a crawler!
