Bea continues to do what all newborns do.
Sleep a lot. (Look at those cute Clemson shoes that Miss Shannon made her!)
Get posed with beer bottles. (Baby's first beer photo.)
And fall asleep after losing a shoe- making the beer photo extra hilarious.
Seriously, this baby sleeps all the time. But that's okay, because we love snuggling a tiny baby.
Now and again she wakes up and spits up on something.
Bea really likes to go outside. She sleeps even better out there. One night we ate supper outside then had to move everything in quickly because of rain. Somehow, we put the baby on the floor and forgot about her in the bedtime rush. No worries. She can sleep there too.
For kicks, we bath her periodically when the spit-up builds up behind her ears. (She always sleeps with her head to the right, so the spit-up really does accumulate.) There is much speculation on whether or not Bea has the beginnings of curly hair. It certainly sticks up more than the other kids' hair did!
After a bath, it's right back to sleep.
I do love the amount of effort it takes a baby to wake up when they are this little.
So close!
Maybe not.
It's been two weeks of no kitchen. I've been feeling good, so we decided to improvise some cooking. Refrigerated cinnamon rolls in the waffle iron!
Not too bad!
Here's what we have so far. Our contractor (who is tops in our book), didn't want to leave us over the weekend with cabinets but no counter, so he installed plywood temporary counters for us and also hooked the sink up, so we could have a functioning kitchen. He's also covered up the awful floor vent that just collected rubbish and repaired all of the tiles around our new cabinets. (Yeah for the previous owners who left plenty of extra tiles!)
A view of the other side.
And our new pantry! Remember how we used to have two doors right beside each other? We put in a wall in the hallway and now we are going to have somewhere easy to store food!
The kids hope we keep the counter as a bar.
June is still holding on to the loose tooth. Now she can keep it out even with her mouth clothes. Eww.
Just days later, it came out! June says she bumped it on the windowsill (when she was supposed to be napping).
I don't know if you knew, but Bea is actually quite funny. Here's she is bringing down the house with her recount of her day's highs and lows.
Next, the girls decided to put on a show. Guess what Georgie sang?
June penned a song of her own. (It actually drives her crazy when Jo just sings songs she already knows. "You're supposed to make up a new song, Georgie!") I have no idea what she's saying, though she does mention a teenage dream. (We don't listen to much pop music, but that song is catchy, although terribly inappropriate. We turn the radio when it comes on now, because it was quickly becoming a favorite of Georgie.) I've got to tell you. I think June has the makings of a songwriter. She starts out slow, adds a driving beat, builds it up, then delivers a soul-bearing chorus. I don't want her to be a pop star, but I think she could make it big writing the songs for pop stars.
