There's no excuse for bad blogging - it's really self-imposed pressure to create something worth reading that prevents me from blogging more often. My own answer to that: "Lame, Mary. Lame."
And so, I'm going to TRY to make sure that I don't miss these massive milestones that fleet through our daily lives. Especially as I reiterate to myself how quickly it all goes by.
Baby #2 update: we do not have a name picked out for our 2nd daughter. No, we are not simply "not telling people", "keeping it a surprise" or any other version. I thought we (read: I) was sold on a name that suddenly was bounced after reading Elizabeth a story about a Saint from Peru and she liked the picture. Lots of high level reasoning on this one, huh?
We're pretty boring in general these days. I've taken to trying to rest as much as I can, but I may have jinxed my own luck, after merrily responding to questions about sleep and comfort with, "I'm very blessed; I've been sleeping great!" Until 2 nights ago when I stopped sleeping well. Another great example as to why mother's have a short memory.
Elizabeth is still biting the heads and faces of the baby dolls that we work to lovingly introduce; but when her sweet 2 month-old cousin, Brandon, visited yesterday, she was all eyes and seemed to recognize the difference between plastic and skin. Thank Goodness! Molly did find her curled up inside of Brandon's carseat, yanking on his toys and clamoring for his bottle and pacifier. But...when he made any sad sounds, she perked up and looked equally distraught on his behalf. Very sweet to see her concern. He's such a great baby; I was thrilled they made the trip and helped get E used to babies.
Thanks again for all of the well wishes!!! We are so fortunate to have loving family and friends helping at all corners.
