• After a tough, tough morning of teething that began at 4:45 this morning (thanks R for taking on that duty so I could sleep in, ahh…), miss m got to sleep for a much-needed mid-morning nap. About 30 minutes into it, a helicopter from Nearby Military Base buzzed over our house. Actually it sounded like it was trying to land on our roof. One minute later: “Waaaaaah!!”
Grr…

• We’re starting oatmeal today! Yippee! Fun with edible glue!

• M’s favorite game is “Dance Dance.” R shakes his upper body and says, “Dance! Dance!” and M responds by kicking her legs and squealing/laughing. We will try to document this on video.

• Speaking of kicking, our days of using the baby tub over the kitchen sink are over. She splashes WAY too much. To the bathtub! Which will be fun, but woe to our backs.

• Dear Mr. Incisor #2: Please come soon.

• I realized this morning that one of the reasons I've been a little nutso lately is that I have had one day off since before Mother's Day. Not Good. This is a quirk of the schedule more than my initiative--preaching schedules (which means Saturday and Sunday), officer retreat, and other events. So today, M and I are taking it easy.

UPDATE: Church Saint, our Tuesday babysitter, has shingles. Gah!
