Tired girl

Melia is bad sleeper, and it is most likely our fault. She can't just climb into bed, hear a night time story, say her prayers and go to bed. Nope, not her, she was spoiled as a baby because we always held her to sleep, rocked her to sleep, watched tv with her to sleep...ugh. A mistake we are not making with Sophie. Well she is always falling asleep in random places, often an hour past the time she should have gone to bed.

But hey, good news! She is doing a lot better now that she doesn't nap during the day. Now she usually goes to bed between 7:30 and 8:30 p.m. Hooray! It is still in pathetic places, as pictured above, but at least the time is an improvement! I guess we'll have to keep working on the night time routine though!

Sophie starts solids

Sophie-Pie is 5 months old now and feels very eager to eat some real food. She loved her first two experiences with rice cereal, but has not enjoyed the last three. I can't say that I blame her. But I will keep working on it. Melia tried it (mostly because she was jealous Sophie and I were having such a good time without her) and thought it was so gross she actually puked it up all over the counter (along with her breakfast she had just finished). It was so disgusting, so I thought I should tell you about it!

Melia takes a look in the mirror to check herself out...

She goes wild with approval and excitement...

and she heads off for the princess promenade of her life!

(Sorry no pictures of Sophie--she was sick. I did put her in Mara's cuddly old leopard costume and she looked exactly like Melia looked in it two years ago! My girl's looks are very similar!).
