First Attempt:
Missing something and torch on wrong side...
Second Try: That is better--"Serious" face because of the importance of her job, welcoming the "huddled masses yearning to breathe free..."

No NY Necessary
From my previous postings, you all know how Bronwen has taken a certain shine to Lady Liberty. Well, since we don't live near Manhattan, Bronwen decided to work on her problem solving skills, and using a little ingenuity and a few props, she was able to not only see the Statue of Liberty, but also transform herself into...well, see for yourselves.

Misunderstanding...
Sometimes in a marriage communication is tricky. Men tend to tune out female voices, have short-term memories, or completely misunderstand whatever important instruction you have given. Tonight was a whole new level of my saying one thing and T.J. hearing another.
Apparently this is what I get when I ask him to help me with the laundry:

Best Laid Plans
I took this video right before putting Lila down on her play mat to show how proficient she has gotten at rolling over. Naturally, she refused to perform, smiling all the way. Oh well. Still her enthusiasm at the intended project can not be missed!
The next video is dark and kind of long, so it's okay if you want to skip it :-) I am only putting it up here for Mimi and Aunt Jana. They have to watch, as they are related.

Big Girl Bed
The past two weeks have been exhausting, as we have be working to rearrange our entire house to accommodate a big girl bed for Bronwen. We only have one crib, and it was time to get Lila out of the cribette--and our bedroom--and move her into the "real" crib in her own separate room. Needless to say, it was a complicated shuffle which resulted in a lot of vacuuming, grunting, rearranging, and (sadly) sawing one needless hole in a wall.
Still all worth it--Bronwen is so proud of her new bed, on loan to us from her aunt and uncle. I picked up the bedding at Target--and I am planning on painting some wall art to go with it. I am so excited about my project! Just have to wait for some art supplies to go on sale at Hobby Lobby.
I swapped out this night table for another--the marble top just made me too nervous. We still have to redo the hanging stuff, so more pics of her entire room to come when that is complete.

And, of course, can't forget my Lila:

After Bath
T.J. is always willing to help his girls with their baths--and I am so grateful! Lila is getting so big, she tends to bounce around in the tub which makes me nervous. I leave it up to the resident engineer to figure out water to chub ratio and adjust the tub accordingly.
Here they are, straight from the tub!
And where is Bronwen?
