Did I mention Jellybean is REALLY trying to crawl?

Stilly teensy, part II

So, the 'bean had her 7 month check up today. And yes, she's still teensy. But bigger than before!

Now, she's back up to the 5th% weight, at a WHOPPING 14 lbs, and is in the 50th% for height!!!! She was in the 35th, so she's getting tall!!!

Way to go Jellybean!

Feminists march on Manhattan...

As a Manhattanite, Monkey gets an almost daily dose of safety lessons for walking on the sidewalks, across busy streets, etc. This occurs both at home and at school.

Approximately a year ago, when I first started walking with Monkey to school (i.e., walking to the bus stop and not using a stroller), I started a dialogue about the "walking man" and the "red hand that means stop."

By now, Monkey has it down pat. In fact, if you start to cross before the "walk" signal has officially turned on, she'll pull you back and chastise you "no mom!" (cough, not that I've done this....ahem)

However, last week was the best. On the way to school with a very happy insane toddler, I announced "let's go, it's the walking man".....

Monkey immediately whipped around and loudly announced "No, it's the walking GIRL!"

That's my girl!
