Update on our little family

Cecily is still doing really well sleeping. Sometimes she wakes up but usually is able to get herself back to sleep. Sometimes she wakes up around 5am so I pump one side and feed her the other in order to keep my supply stocked.
She is still scooting all over the place and easily gets up on all fours but hasn't figured out the crawling motions yet. I know it's just around the corner though!
We've started a few solids and she loves them so far! She's had: banana, apple, sweet potato, avocado and oatmeal. She just has a few bites here and there but it's fun for experimenting!
Libby is doing well in her big girl bed, she loves it and is really looking forward to Cecily moving into her room with her. I'm putting that off because I haven't wanted to disrupt Libby or Cecily's routines. Now I put Cecily down around 7:30 and have Libby go play quietly in her room until I'm done. Then I go in and read or play with Libby for a while then we sing songs, read more books, pray and then finally turn out the light. If we put them together I'll have to do that in our room or something so that would work. I'm just putting it off. :)
Libby is also on the verge of pottytraining. My SIL had great success with "Potty-Training in a Day" so I'm going to read that book and give it a shot if I feel like it will work for us. We're going to try it on a Saturday when Tim is home and can help with Cecily. It'll be nice not to have to wash diapers (we CD some) or buy diapes (I'm a Pampers snob!). I don't want to push her but she has shown a lot of interest so that will probably be soon.
We are also planning on removing Libby's pacifier. It's getting bad even though we've limited it to the bed or car. She is super-duper addicted. Hopefully that won't be too traumatic!
I'm not sure what order to do these three major things. I guess there's always a new, big change going on at this age but it is not easy! Diapers are so easy, giving her a paci is easy, keeping the girls separate is easy. But it will be nice not to have to buy or wash diapers, I don't want to cause horrible dental damage, and I think putting the girls together with give them a stronger bond. I know I need to do all these things but it will be difficult going through them.
Tim has been working a.lot. A LOT. A LOT. It really stinks! I'm so tired of this project he's been working on. I'll just say this: I hope that all you i-stuff people really appreciate how well the track pads work! :)
Tim and I had a little night away last week and it was sooo fun! I'll make a whole post about it! We spent the night in downtown Dallas and rested and ate a lot, it was really fun! Pictures to come. :)

I'm enjoying reading your posts! I'm glad you're blogging more. It's very fun. So sorry Tim is MIA so much. Justice has been traveling more, but it's really not that bad. I'm amazed that you can hold it all together with two babies and no extra set of hands to help. Kudos to you.
