Milestones, Milestones

So both of my babies are hitting milestones today!

Little Graeme Carpenter is a month old today!! Can you believe it?! I can not. Some days I feel like we have never known life without him; and then others I feel like he was born this morning! ha He is definitely hitting that weird infant phase right now. ( I love my children... but I am an honest mom! ha) He looks like a mix of an eighty year old man (he is losing all his hair in the front); and a teenager (baby acne from his nose to his shoulders! ha). He is sleeping right now, hence the blogging; so I will update the blog with his 1 month photo later.

Miss Ceilidh Davis is also hitting a milestone (and explaining TONS of behavior issues) today. She is cutting the top two 2 year old molars!! Both of the top molars have broken skin, and the bottom two are a little swollen. Poor baby is miserable. She has chewed on EVERYTHING in site for the last week, and today has developed a runny nose with her already yucky cough. She actually took a nap today though, again, hence the blogging; which makes me want to leap for joy! ha

So... last night as we had a HORRIBLE time getting her to sleep, I sat down on the couch feeling sorry for myself and rationalizing my bad mood. I then looked down on the floor and saw "Karen," one of Ceilidh's "Little People" toys and wanted to cry thinking about how fast these milestones are going to keep coming. I hope I can continue to remind myself to live in the moment and take lots of pictures!

Side "bragging" note: Andrew and his "too cool for school" self, has once again rocked 3 more A's. One of his latest A's was on a group paper, that the Professor actually asked if she could distribute among her colleagues and use as an example for her other classes! Andrew's response was, "Only if we get a cut of the royalties when you publish it!" ha
