She's One Month Old Already!

We can hardly believe that our little girl is already a month old as of yesterday. Andrew is now 15 months old and doing quite well adjusting to his baby sister his favorite thing to do is to try and give her a pacifier which she really doesn't want most of the time. Emmalee is quite alert and aware, she loves being snuggled and absolutely loves being carried around in the Moby wrap. She hates being in her car seat for ANY length of time and frequently serenades us with her displeasure during our outings in the car...good times, especially when Andrew feels like joining in the chorus! Life is good and hectic at the same time, but we love being the parents of two of the most adorable children ever!

What is this world coming to?

I don't think I've ever felt so uncomfortable with the events of this world before. I look up anything on the internet and the vast majority is death, destruction, politics and all their happenings, and much, much more.

In some ways I already feel quite inadequate when it comes to certain things socially. I feel a bit behind because I don't understand some of the ways people treat each other. I am a firm believer that we can all get along just fine if we choose to.

I feel so at odds with much of what is happening around the world, and right here at home. I want less and less to do with anything and anyone at times. Just give me some physics or something to learn and I'll be just fine. At least what I learn is, for the most part, stable and there are no social games being played. Although some of it is a little more time consuming to understand how things work, i.e. quantum physics or something similar... I don't have to worry about misinterpreting something, leading it to some offense and alienating myself or my family from different social groups and people. I just have to worry about any experiments I try out and the immediate and long term effects based on predictions and experimental expectations.

Why does it have to be seem so chaotic? Where can I turn for peace, where is my solace?

Where in the world did that little boy go?

We just got back from Temple Square taking some family pictures and it was pretty hot outside. When we arrived home, I took Andrew inside and changed his diaper and clothes. Set him down in his room and he walked into the kitchen with me. I showed him his sippy cup after I'd rinsed it out and got the milk out of the fridge. He stuck out his hand like he wanted it and after I gave it to him, he took it into his room. I went and grabbed a few diapers for Emmalee and put those near her bed. I went back into Andrew's room to put him down for a nap and low and behold, he was sitting in the comfy chair in there with his cup and a book! Evidently, he knows the routine!

I am just so amazed at his intelligence and how smart he is! He is growing up so fast and he's so HUGE in comparison to Emmalee!
