Rylie has now officially lived half her life at my dad's house and half her life here at our new house (8.5 weeks at each). She's 4 months today and we still really like her (though we could do without the 3:30 am paci replacement). She'll go for her 4 month check at the pediatrician tomorrow, so I really should write this post tomorrow when I have her stats, but I was worried that I'd lose the motivation to do it by then. So I'll guess: she's probably around 15 lbs (I base this on nothing) and 25 inches (again, I simply made it a number bigger than where she was when she was born). One thing's for sure, she's in the 99th percentile for cuteness!
At the beginning of the summer I had three goals for Paige: 1) get her out of the crib and into a "big girl" bed 2) get rid of the paci and 3) potty train. I was successful on only one of my goals, getting her to sleep in her big girl bed. Paige started daycare last Monday, by Wednesday they had gotten rid of her pacifier and she peed on the potty on Tuesday. Apparently I just needed to leave it to the professionals. I did all the background work, and then someone else swoops in and finishes it off. I'm okay with that arrangement.
As for my car, Paige says it best, "Mommy car broken." We went up to Connecticut at the beginning of August and it broke down. The Ford dealership has been fixing it for a few weeks now and every time one thing is fixed, they find something else bigger and more expensive that is also broken. We may start entering Paige and Rylie in beauty pagents to pay for the repairs. We've done lots of research (Toddlers and Tiaras is set to record on our DVR), and we think they can really sweep the pagent scene.
I think that's it. Good, now I can post videos of our girls again without feeling like I haven't written in a while...
