Wow, has this been a busy week. And the weekend shows no sign of slowing down.
It is taking me a while to learn how to Go Places and Get Stuff Done with two kids. This is not helped by the fact that Bea just hates her carseat. I mean, really hates it. Every once in a while we luck out and she looks around silently or zonks out. But usually, every errand / dropoff is set to the tune of a particularly shrill baby wail. I used to think that her cry was so much sweeter than Camilla’s, but it has taken on a new level of screechiness recently that is pretty unpleasant.
Who, me? The fat and happy?
So that’s made things a little more difficult lately. I am just praying that this is a stage that she quickly outgrows.
Big Sister has been active but chipper, as long as she takes long naps. Which I have no control over. So some days we just luck out and other days we don’t.
I will note that I had no idea that a two year old could be so comical. Sometimes it’s accidental (“plip-plops”) and sometimes it’s on purpose (tickling sister’s feet), but all the time it keeps me laughing.

And it’s only been eight weeks since then! I guess we’ll have to stop calling her “Little Bea” sometime soon.
Have a good weekend!

What a blessing to see how much Beatrice has grown. With many children starving in the world or uncared for, it’s always a comfort to see one so healthy and lovingly supplied. Such a cute tummy. Every time I see her on our screen saver I tickle it. heehee :)
Thanks for the great post, Paula. Beatrice keeps getting cuter! I hope we can visit with you guys sometime soon…Hilary
Silly me. I have forgotten to come to your blog for quite some time. I love the weekly pictures. (Where did you get that amazing orange floral fabric?)
