One month and Two Years

Today is Louis's one month birthday, and tomorrow is Rosemary's two year birthday! Amazing. She is finally enjoying being a big sister, after a rough first two weeks (she did attack Louis with a spoon once, but, fortunately we were there and he's tough). She has really grown up, her speech and understanding have skyrocketed. In the past month since Louis has been around and now she tells me that she loves baby "Luddie." Its still hard for her when I feed Louis, as I can't really pay attention to her, but she's much better. Sometimes she pats his head gently, and praises herself for being good by saying, "so nice" (she does the same thing when she shares her toys or food, which is a pretty tough/traumatic thing for her). A friend of mine gave her her first doll yesterday, and that was genuis -- Rosemary now can feed the baby (see below) when I feed Louis.

We also got to feed Beatrice her first applesauce this month! It was great, she seemed to love it. Rosemary is eating apples as Beatrice gets applesauce (leaning precariously over).

The cutest thing she does now is sing songs. In fact, she demands several songs by name (many of them she learned from George Weller's wonderful collection). If you just sing the song without giving her a chance to sing along, she gets very frustrated.



Halloween (although it feels like ages ago) was really fun this year, with a great party at Dev and Summer's house (despite the look on Rosemary's face, she had fun -- she was just a little freaked out by the spooky noises CD they were playing). Louis went as an ultrasound picture of himself, thanks to Summer's creative genius.
