I can hardly believe Amelia is nearly one month old. I guess time flies when you're sleep deprived. And we are having fun - most of the time. Hope has shown nothing but sweet cuddly love for her little sister. Of course the big girls are the same; it's just that I was more worried about how "the toddler" would react. Hope has also adjusted extremely well to sleeping in a room with her sisters. It has been a bit of a challenge for the big girls when she starts babbling in the middle of the night: "babdadana Nadalie dadarabada Kaykay mnmagabada Emma haganadada Gogoli madatababa Hophop badarasabanama Meowmeow*", etc. She can go on and on. And does. It's cute, just a little hard to take in the wee hours of the morning.
It's also a little hard to contain the path of destruction. Hope is right in front of you one minute, and the next she is rubbing someone's lib balm all over her face. She is a little mastermind, breaking and entering then wreaking havoc. We finally put knob-turning "deterrents" on the major problematic doors.
This one means business. It has a knob cover and a gate.
The kitchen requires two gates. And see the knob cover on the floor? Hope got that one off a bathroom door on day 1 and threw it past the gates and into the kitchen. At least we are all keeping limber, hopping over gates and running up and down stairs removing Hope from trouble areas. *
Nadalie = Madelyn
Kaykay = Cailin

Your house is toddler fortified. Pretty impressive. Is she bored now that she can't get into trouble?
