three nights of freak-sleepin'

She's cute, but she sleeps in the weirdest positions. Just look at the last three nights!

Thursday night

Friday night

Saturday night

This last one is my favorite. She's even wearing her new Big Girl pjs that Auntie Kim gave her. She loves sleeping along the bumpers, but just a bit too big now.

**OOPS! THE PJ'S WERE PICKED OUT BY UNCY MATT!!! THANKS UNCY MATT!!!**

dear uncle rob,

dear uncle rob,

when i woke up this morning, mommy moved my new chair in front of the window so i could see the snow. there wasn't as much as last time, and i didn't get to make any snow angels. but it was still pretty to look at. mommy said that where you live it snows more. sounds cold. i think i'll just stay here in my chair and look out at it.

come visit soon.

love, mary beth

she's walking!!!!

See, there's just something magical about St. Patrick's Day. Especially if you're a 100%, pure bred redhead like Mary Beth. So we dressed up in our green, and then practiced walking after our days at work and daycare. Of course she took 4 or 5 steps when we weren't taping. So we tried again. And again. We even gave up for a bit and just tickled and giggled. Then after her bath (hence the wardrobe change - there's still green on her!), she was a little cranky because she wanted her bottle but she still walked to mama. Atta girl. Geimps would be proud.

There are a few videos and pics here - the walk and a few cute outtakes.

who's one year old?

Mary Beth had quite a birthday weekend. She started her birthday with a visit to Dr. Z for her one-year Well Check. She checked well. :-)  All good on the height and weight front, and everyone agreed that Princess Mary Beth, who visited the office with her crown, is the cutest redhead ever. Saturday Auntie Kim flew into town and was greeted by MB and an awesome sign. A bunch of people came over to the house for an informal gathering/party where MB giggled, laughed and had cupcake icing for the first time. Sunday we went to the park to swing, and then played soccer in the back yard. That's right, MB is ready for her Rowdiettes jersey and soccer cleats. There's a TON of photos, so have fun!!
