In the middle.
Do you ever feel in the middle? Do you ever feel that you don't completely fit in either of two normal places? I do all the time. Because I don't fit any more. I look at those of my friends who have 3 children and I

Little Acheivements
Will did a three quarter roll from his back to his tummy. I say 3/4 because his arm was still stuck underneath him. He's only done it once so far, but soon I know he will be rolling all over the place. He must be doing some

Halloween 2007.
It is November now!!! Wow! I keep telling people Will is 3 months old and today I realized he is more like 3 1/2 months old. Technically he should be approaching his first big milestone--turning over. He is most definitely in size 6-9 months. I keep trying to fit

Growing bigger!
Elise said the other day that she wished Will were big. She meant, of course, big enough to crawl and play with her, but little does she know how big he really is. He is wearing clothes that Elise wore when she was walking. Today I squeezed him into a

Another baby update.
Sorry, no new pictures. I will get some more soon. I've been so consumed with sleep issues lately that I have not been taking pictures. Will is sleeping wonderfully at night. I could not ask for anything better! He goes down by 10:00 (sometimes earlier, like last

Sleep update.
Sunday morning I awoke at 6:30, after about 8 hours of sleep, realizing that I hadn't heard Will all night. I went to check on him, and he was still asleep. He slept until 7:45, which was almost 9 hours after I had put him down

Dance class photos.
Doesn't this look like the most girly thing you've ever seen? Elise is still loving dance class and improving each time. She is also enjoying school. Even her numbers, which she sometimes gets frustrated with, are improving. Today, she wrote out her numbers to 30 with
