Many Random things

Ok, so it's been a while since I have posted anything positive, so here we go.

First off, some random thoughts on Lizzie. Lizzie is not a lap cat. She almost never will climb up onto your lap and sit there. The only time she will do this is when I have a blanket in my lap. Nap time is kind of interesting with her. She almost always will come and nap with me when I take a nap. This morning when I went to lie down for a few lazy moments after Graham went down for his nap, and before Nate woke up, I was lying there in bed, but didn't have the covers on, and Lizzie just sat there on the bed and waited for me. So I put the covers on, and she came and lay down on top of me. So she likes to nap on top of me, but only if there is a blanket there. What a weird cat.

This picture is an old one of Graham. It is the best picture that I have of his jack-o-lantern teeth. He now has all 4 teeth on the top row, and the two on the bottom as well for a grand total of 6 (for those of you who have trouble doing the math.) Other than that, he is just all over the place, and lots and lots of fun to have around these days. I am considering partially weaning him. I think that up until this point I have been starving him. He started out as a heavy weight, and is now down to the 10th percentile. He only gained 12 oz in the past 3 months. He seems to love bottles, so maybe we ought to go with it. I'm not ready to give it up though, and I think that he still enjoys nursing, so we'll see.

Nate has developed a love of scissors in the past week or so. He saw me clipping things out of the paper a week ago, and said, "Ohhh, can I try that?" So I let him cut up the newspaper. The next day we went out and got some safety scissors. He is starting to get the whole one handed thing. My biggest regret right now with Nate is that I don't have enough quality one on one time with him. He is such a sweet boy when I have enough attention to pay to him, and when Graham is not around. The problem is that when Graham has his morning nap I am showering, and then when Graham has his afternoon nap, Nate naps as well, and Graham wakes up way before Nate in the afternoon and morning. The only time I have with him is in the evening, and that is Jesse's ONLY time with him, so that doesn't always work either. Oh well, we just need to try to make time for him and I.
