now weighs 20 fat rosy pounds.

Though they still swim on her, she's
wearing those blanket nighties you sent.
We've had no trouble at all with her
waking up in the middle night. She
sleeps all over the crib now, in some
pretty weird positions.

We're wheeling & dealing in anticipation
of buying this place. I think I mentioned
our bargain garbage disposal.
We're getting dealers' price on cork tile
flooring & building materials. We've lined
up a pre-historic living-room set with
a heavy hardwood frame so that we can
have it covered with top grade naugahide
over sponge rubber. Something like that
won't sag under kid-pounding. All that
is scheduled to happen after we buy
the place. Right now, I have a date
with a paint brush to make She's
potty-chair look like a throne.
She's about ready to learn what it's
for. First things first!

Sat.
My day of rest. Not really though, since
there are a million things to do that I can't
do during the week. It would be 100%
worse, if Jim didn't do so much during
the week.
