Realization

Today I realized....

I have been pregnant at some point for the past 5 years...

2007
2008
2009
2010
2011
and will be in 2012

Well at least I got good use out of my maternity clothes!

Comparing...

Just dont do it. That is what it comes down to. Jakob is behind where Lukas was in his language and it is making me C-R-A-Z-Y! I know everyone says all kids develop at their own pace..yada, yada. That is all well in good but not when they are so little and every worse case example plays out in your head. But yesterday Jakob pulled through and said "book". Thats it, no more comparing. He's his own little self. He will talk, he will walk on his own and maybe, just maybe he will be a little more mellow than his overly self-assured older brother....

Just wait til 3...
