Our childcare giver has been vacationing in Hawaii all week. This left Shawn and on point and @ home on alternating days this week. After a couple days I could see why the nanny gets paid so much that she can afford to vacation where I can't. Lainie has been pretty fussy and needy, we haven't really figured out the root cause but my theory is that she wants to walk and is sick of being stationary. In the past week her coasting skills have gone through the roof. If there is something her height and within reach she is sidestepping (coasting) down it to the next object that will support her or not in her quest to walk. It is very cool to watch the rapid progress. Otherwise Laine is happiest when out representing in the stroller rolling on wallinghood with her posse.

Ben has transitioned to a "big boy bed" aka Serta twin from Costco located on the floor for ease of access and to prevent freefalls when using it as a trampoline. The transition has been very good. The only outer bed nocturnal migration in the past week was last night. I went in at some point in the early hours of the day to find boo boo face down on the floor next to the bed sleeping. It appeared he had the where withal to pull the blanket down over him. Innate survival skills inherited from his father.

This picture was a complete mistake. Had I not looked at it and others at near full size I would have deleted it to save storage space. The camera was set to spot meter and it must have leveled off the lens of Laine's shades and over exposed her but not the image reflected in the camera lens. I was very pleasantly surprised. I will have to put up the original for those at home to compare.
