Enjoy! <!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Starting at the end of March, Lucy began sitting in regular chair, not booster seat. What a big girl! We are still working in the &#8220;stay in your seat for the entire meal&#8221; policy, but it is much better than at the beginning of the month.<\/li>\n<li>Rosie has several new teeth, including a couple of molars. We think the count is now up to ten.<\/li>\n<li>Lucy slept in her big-girl bed for the first time on April 1 &#8212; at least until she requested a crib-transfer at 2 a.m. But that turned out to be the last time to date. We think the enclosure of the crib is just extra cozy for her. We&#8217;re considering some big-bed enclosure measures to encourage her, although we really aren&#8217;t pushing for Lucy to give up the crib. Frankly, it is kind of nice to have her a little contained at night &#8212; for a change.<\/li>\n<li>Getting ready for Lucy&#8217;s bath one day, she proclaimed, &#8220;I&#8217;m naked as a nickel.&#8221; This is a quotation from one of her favorite books, &#8220;<em>The Dirty Cowboy<\/em>&#8220;:http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/0374317917\/octothorppres-20 (written by Jon&#8217;s old friend, Amy Timberlake).<\/li>\n<li>Rosie now says &#8220;baby&#8221; and &#8220;hi,&#8221; plus &#8220;Mama&#8221; and &#8220;Papa&#8221; pretty reliably. She is doing a lot more signing: more, bath, all done, bye-bye, and cracker. It is fun to really be communicating with her.<\/li>\n<li>One evening, Rosie had a giggle-fest with Papa, spurring him on to pound on his chest. We still don&#8217;t know why this was so funny on this particular day, since she hasn&#8217;t found it funny since. <span style=\"color:gray\">&mdash;continues after 1&#8217;07&#8221; video&mdash;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div style=\"width: 525px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-3991-1\" width=\"525\" height=\"295\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/boydsnest.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/MVI_1155.M4V?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/boydsnest.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/MVI_1155.M4V\">https:\/\/boydsnest.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/MVI_1155.M4V<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p><em>And here is an assortment of Lucyisms from this month:<\/em><br \/>\n* &#8220;Mama, I don&#8217;t eat motorcycles.
