Can you say lollipop?

God help Elizabeth with her impending speech impediments if Linda continues to be such a great big sister and teach her all the things she knows! This morning I ran upstairs to get my shoes before the girls and I headed off to school and work and I left Linda eating breakfast in the living room with Elizabeth seated beside her in the Bumbo seat with a few toys. While I was in the hallway I over heard Linda say to Elizabeth:

“I have a yawyeepop- a rainbow yawyeepop. Do you see it, Eeyizabet? Can you say yawyeepop, honey? Say it- YAW (pause for response), YEE (pause), POP (clapping for assumed participation). Just like that!”

I was dying laughing upstairs. It's so ironic that my girl named Linda can’t say her L’s. I hope Elizabeth eventually learns English.

Cave

When Linda is laying down to go to sleep sometimes she likes to put her head under her covers and pretend that she and her stuffed animals are in a cave.

Linda (with authority): Daddy, come in the cave with me.
Steve (firm but calm): Linda, It's time for bed. No more playing in the cave.
Linda (angrily): Mommy comes in the cave. Do it like Mommy.

Linda And Elizabeth Paint

Elizabeth paints with a little help from Linda and Mommy.

Tooth

Guess what small, chubby infant just cut her first tooth? E was nibbling on my finger at about 3:00am when I discovered it. Bottom front; It's barely poking through but you can certainly feel it.

Four Ten

4:10am and Superwife has not slept yet.

Four Twenty Eight

4:28am and Elizabeth just threw up on Mommy. She's still really cute though.

Linda Sings

Linda singing is always pretty cute. She has started improvising her own lyrics to the melodies she knows and is usually pretty spot on with the songs she sings. Here's a video of Linda singing to her sister before bedtime.
