Slowly but surely, we are learning the two-kid dance, but we’re stumbling amateurs compared to all of our veteran friends and family. As an engineer friend told us, “adding kids isn’t linear, it’s log-rhythmic”!
Sam is doing amazingly well – he seems to change every day. He’s a happy, animated little fellow, eats like a horse and is curious about everything. Commando crawling is his locomotion of choice, and we’re working with him to learn how to crawl on his knees. He is also starting to pull up and hold on in a standing position. He loves to swing, jump and get baths – making sure more water winds up on the floor and on Mommy than is left in the tub. :-)
Lily Grace is tolerating Sam a little better each day, tells her classmates in pre-school how much she loves him (he’s great in theory), and is working through this “sharing Mommy and Daddy” thing. Her role playing now routinely involves little brothers and sisters, as do her favorite books to read at bedtime.
We thought you’d enjoy seeing some pictures from Sam’s first bath (we started him out in the sink), and how Lily Grace responded to that:
We hope each of you are enjoying springtime and are looking forward to the end of school and summer days ahead.
