Last night Jake and I commented to each other that almost overnight Topaz has gone from baby to little girl. Just the way she looks, and her expressions, and her increasing control of herself. It's amazing to watch.

She loves playing with blocks. I build something, and then the one-girl demolition derby steps in. Much fun.

We had her absolutely cracked up last night. You never know what's going to set her off, but strangely enough last night it was the word OTTAWA. I've never seen her laugh so hard. It was freaking hilarious.

She's having a great time hogging the bed. I've barely slept the past two nights because she's getting so squirmy. We seriously need a bigger bed. Back when we bought this bed and spent a fortune on it, we weren't really envisioning having a baby lyaing sideways between us in it. Oh, how things change.

SO Anna answered my question as to whether or not I should go to Syracuse on Friday to see Blue October. Just as well that the show is postponed, because then Topie will be another month older, and then I can decided then.

Squirmy babies in bed. Oy. Benjamin even has his own whole crib sized area, but still ends up in my space. And he's started this annoying habit of scratching at the mattress while he's asleep. It's pretty loud. I don't know what that's about.

Oh lord. Topie hasn't started scratching the mattress, but she's been scratching everything else. When I'm not overly tired I think it's hilarious.

No matter how much space we give Topie, she always ends up practically underneath me. I guess she wants to be close? Beats me. I'm getting really tired.

Me too. With teeth and allergies and whatever else is going on, B has become like a newborn. The other night he got up every hour for the first half of the night. I miss my little sleeper. :(
