Let's Try This Again (Take 3)

The little icon when I went to login to this today told me my last post was May 4th, 2012.  I think I had just about given up on this whole blogging thing (especially since it is just for me) but then I realized I have no idea when Sarah started to crawl.  I think by the time we started Gymboree in August she was crawling at 10 months, and I know she started to walk on my birthday/ Thanksgiving day, but I have no idea when she started to crawl.  So I have no idea if Liam is (not) crawling earlier or later than his sister.

Oh yeah, Sarah has a brother.  His name is William (Liam) Andrew and he was born August 31st, 2012, 8 lbs 11.2 oz and 21". I'll have to do a post on him later, but until then...(no, he looks nothing like that now!)

But back to the point of this restart, before I go and continue grading papers, I don't know when Sarah got teeth, I don't know when she started crawling, or even when her vocabulary exploded so much.  And I think that was the point of this blog when I started it.  I know she has many many more milestones to reach (as does Liam) so I figured I'd give this one (more) try.  I'm not playing Candy Crush, and now that school is over maybe I can use my (rapidly shortening) extra time doing this instead.

But the quick milestone update, Sarah walks, talks talks talks talks! and has great imaginative play.  Not quite potty trained yet (I know she'll love that update when she's older) but we keep trying with "two candies" or stickers.  Liam does not crawl, but he rotates, rocks on all fours and has two teeth.  At this point I think he'll walk before he crawls because he loves to be standing up.  Another idea for a future post will be differences between a first and second child, but the one I'll note now is enjoying this lack of movement.  With Sarah I was all about moving, with him, I know the terror that happens with two dogs and a baby on the loose, so I'll take the stationary phase while I can.

My next post probably won't be until school is over, but it is coming.  I promise (I hope)
