No More Sterilizing?
Apparently, you don’t have to sterilize bottles. It makes sense: if you’re not going to sterilize them before every use, why would you bother doing it only sometimes?

Abigail
Today we had to say goodbye to our superstar babysitter/helper/sanity-preserver, Abigail. For the three months or so that she’s been helping us out, Abigail has been absolutely indispensable. Diapers got changed, bottles got washed, and babies got strolled, but most importantly she has been endlessly fun, patient, and sweet with our two occasionally-challenging babies. In addition to being pretty much Julian’s best friend, Abigail is one of only about a half-dozen people that Eloise will consent to be held by. That’s pretty impressive, and it took considerable perseverance. (She’s also managed to put up with spending hours with me, Rachel, and assorted family members, which ought to earn her a medal of some kind.)
Abigail is heading off for her summer break, and we hope that we’ll see more of her in the fall, but for now all of us will definitely miss her. Thank you!
Tooth
Eloise has her first tooth! We’ve been monitoring its slow ascent, and this morning I poked my finger in her mouth and encountered enamel. Good bye, sweet gummy grins (sob)!
As per tradition, Eloise has given the Tooth Fairy a dollar, which will be returned to her with interest when this tooth falls out in six years. Baby’s first investment!
Pictures to come eventually, although right now there’s not much to see. Give it a few days and I’m sure you’ll start seeing her new big-girl smiles in the daily photos.
