Blogrolling XIX

In which I question this whole freakin' endeavor.

The Sands Of Time

Yesterday was a milestone for NJ -- I took down her crib and assembled her new Big Girl Bed. She was probably ready for this a few months ago, but we decided there was no rush and she didn't seen to care. Yesterday, when I showed her the new headboard, though, NJ got very excited about the prospect.

Thanks for two-and-a-half years of stellar service, crib. You will be missed the first time NJ wakes up crying at 3 a.m. and comes upstairs.

Her excitement quickly turned to worry, though, when naptime came yesterday afternoon. NJ called her mom into the room a couple of times with concerns about blankets and such. It took a good hour or so for her to calm down and go to sleep. Last night, though, she went to bed early (her call) and slept through the night like an angel.

Hooray for new furniture!

But, uh, I'm trying to catch a few winks here, as you can see. So, if you don't mind ...

Seriously, Dad, get out of my face. OK?

There's a gap between the bed and the wall -- the bed can't be completely flush because of a window sill -- but The Wife ingeniously stuffed NJ's five-foot-long stuffed caterpillar in it and all's well. As a sleepy NJ says, "Sweet dreams!"

Blogrolling XVII -- Plus!

A recap of our trip to Hawaii a couple of weeks ago is here.

The photo of NJ on the TODAY blog may be my favorite of her ever. Here are some more good shots.

Please tell me we aren't eating these fish later for dinner.

The kid did not want for opportunities to pick stuff up off the beach.

What's prettier, my girls or my legs? Wait, don't answer that -- I don't want you to offend NJ and The Wife.

Can't this clown see I'm trying to eat?

Mommy, I think the beached whale behind me just tooted!

Enjoying a sunset.

I need some cucumber slices for my eyes.

We thought about burying NJ up to her neck and sneaking off for a while, but a plan never materialized.

I heard Dad muttering that he could really get used to this, and I gotta say ... I agree.
