The Seventh Month


Here we are in the seventh month. Charlie's second tooth just popped out two days ago, June 14. Just in time for Father's Day. Seven months, carrots and broccoli later and we are doing great as a family of four. Except for the times when Charlie makes a huge fuss when we put him down for bedtime and it is right around the time that Jack has stepped into the tub for bathtime. What do I do? Let the baby cry it out? I have been a lot better with the cry it out method now than with Jack, but man, that voice and scream just gets higher and higher and louder and louder. It's not a lot of fun when your oldest is holding his hands over his ears, letting you know that Charlie is indeed , very loud.
Other than that, we are fine. I am relishing these moments of Charlie just sitting on the floor with nowhere to go. I am sort of dreading when he starts crawling and where we live now( hello fragile chotckes!) we will be saying a lot of , where is he? Where is he?
Jack is on the cusp of staring some sort of preschool. The good news is that Brian and I were talking to a preschool teacher today and she let us know that preschool is a lot cheaper than daycare. Thank God.
We are still trying to see where that will be. Right now, I am just trying to teach Jack on what happens during a baptism, and hoping that he doesn't freeze up when it is time to sprinkle the water on his head. Boys' baptism is in 6 days.
Oh, and Brian and I are renewing our vows in 6 days. Our sons should be our ring bearers.
