Picture less moments of the week & right now

Merrick started crying with pain yesterday. He woke up often tonight and he needs so much comfort, he's nursing all the time and took back the pacifier he rejected around solstice, when he started teething. Right now, I am sitting with him, Mariann right next to us. She's singing him Brahms's lullaby and giving sweet kisses from the tip of her lips. I'm glad to have such an empathetic little girl.

It's usually the time we do yoga together...we'll have to skip it. He's got 8 teeth already! People can't believe he's teething again. But they have short memories, because Mariann did the same.

This week we went out 3 times, stroller and all. It felt really good. Not that the weather was warmer.. But, it is March. Maybe it's in my head but the sun was shinning brighter. And you can get babies out in the cold, if you dress them well. Wearing them appears to be a bonus, too!

I have so many pictures in my head, that I wasn't able to take.

I've shown Mariann how to bath her baby yesterday. It would have make pretty pictures! We took a plastic basket and thrown the blue play silk in it for water. She used a felt ice cream bowl (pink!) as a soap. She kept adding water, from her play kitchen tap, to the basket with her teapot. It was very cute to see. And she didn't miss any corner. So now Victoria is cleaner than clean!


But we are all pretty tired. I can't wait for Papa' break week to come!
