23 Weeks - A lot of Firsts, Hockey and Wold Cup Soccer!!

I posted a lot this week already about everything the girls have been up to - first swim, first solid food, and of course Josie and her first roll - in fact she's now rolling like its no big deal, and we've also stopped clapping like crazy hooligans after each roll since she's now doing it so much. Lexie CAN do it, but is perfectly content just hanging out doing her thing.

The girls have been enjoying avocado (actually, "not enjoying" is a better way to put it - not a lot of avocado fans around here) and really enjoying sweet potatoes. This next week we will be introducing pears and banana. It brings a whole new twist to spit ups - even just the small tablespoon they have been eating makes things a lot messier around here. Blech!!! 

One thing though, that Josie is also doing, is not sleeping. 5 out of the last 7 nights she has woken us all up in the middle of the night, and taken a lot of coaxing to go back to bed. It is apparently some sort of sleep regression that can last anywhere from 2 weeks to much longer. I hope not too much longer though. We've been very methodical about it, and going in there only to give her a pacifier and a back rub. No turning on lights, no 2 a.m. bottles. Hopefully she will get the point soon! "Its night time Josie, night time!!"

Some action shots...

We've been hockey crazy in this house the last few weeks with the Kings winning the cup last night after quite a few heart attack inducing games. I will give it to both the Kings and the Rangers - it was a clean series, and an awesome battle of two of the best goalies in the league. Now, its time to focus attention on the World Cup! Ole Ole Ole Ole!!! Between Olympics, Hockey then World Cup, I am not sure what we are going to do come mid July! Baseball I guess? 

Poor Lexie keeps scratching up her face, no matter how short I've got her nails cut. I think her finger sucking at night is leading to it, since it only happens at night. We aren't going to stick mittens on her, so I am just going to keep filing her nails as often as I can. She hates when I do it, and I've been scared to since I cut her with the clippers, so we'll both have to get over that.
