Beatrice is growing so quickly


I took some video footage to show all those who live so far away and of course for memory's sake. It's kind of long.
Beatrice loves her little chair. She really gets focused on the dangling toys. It is so fun to watch her eyes and her arms as she tries to reach for the objects in front of her. It's such a marvel. Franklin loves his little sister and, as you can tell, he loves her a little too violently. When he gets near Beatrice, she often flinches because she's not sure if she's going to get a love pat to the face or an extra hard kiss. We are trying to teach him how to be soft, but 9 times out of 10, he's just a little rough, but we are grateful he loves her even if it scares her a bit. Oh and Franklin doesn't have any pants on because we are still working on the whole potty practicing. Also, the beeps you hear on the video are from the timer on our oven. We just finished baking a cake together. Ever since I let Franklin help me make Gingerbread boys, he has been asking to help me cook. So we made a cake just for funsies. He is getting much better at not making a mess when he dumps the ingredients into the bowl. It is so fun. Maybe he'll grow up to be a chef.

I love that you made a cake for funsies. Thank you for your comment on my blog. You're a great support and have been since they first set us up as VT companions. I'd love to come see you some time.
