This week was full of firsts. Joseph's first bath with his apple, first time on his toy quad naked, and Millie's first time in the Baby Einstein's play center. Not pictured, it was also the first time we have gated Joseph's door to teach him to sleep in his room at night. For some reason that was more bearable than locking him in. It is still sad to lock the gate on him and hear him cy but every night he cries less and less and wakes up less. He seems happier the next day due to his getting better sleep. So, while it seems like a very cruel and heartless thing to our two year old I know it is the right thing. Especially because Joe is teaching seminary this year and will be starting on monday (another first) and so we will be short on sleep. Thank goodness Millie is a good sleeper. She rolls to her tummy and sucks her thumb and goes like 10 to 12 hours regularly. Such a blessing.

millie is so cute. i can't believe how fast she is growing up. it seems like you were just pregnant with her. crazy how fast it all goes by.
10-12 hours regularly!??! I didn't realize that! Wow Lace, that's incredible. I love these pictures...
Millie is doing awesome with the sleeping thing! We were just with the in-laws this week and my mother-in-law had the hardest time with me letting Carter "cry it out," but I feel about it the same way you feel about the gate. Sometimes it is necessary and good for the child. Also, I LOVE!! the picture with Joseph riding naked on his little scooter. SO FUNNY! Gotta love little white behinds.
