Quick Update :)

Last Thursday, Sean and I were able to observe Gracie's dance class during "Observation Week". It's always interesting to have parents present because we serve as a great distraction to the little girls. Gracie kept peeking at us through the mirror, but stayed mostly focused on her teacher. They performed their ballet and tap routines while we watched, then we saw their recital costume for the first time. I was very proud of Gracie! I can tell that she truly enjoys her class, and really seemed to have fun during the tap routine! I am looking forward to her first dance recital in June!


My little guy started pulling up last week. Sean and I weren't home when he did it for the first time, so I've been excited to see him for myself! Sure enough, he's pulling up on everything possible now and has started standing while holding on with only one hand! He actually has pretty good balance, so it will be interesting to see when he realizes he can cruise around this baby gate! I'm still in awe at how quickly he's growing and changing.

(As for Night Three in our "Cry It Out" effort... Ethan woke once around 1:30am. He was pretty angry when Sean went in and gave him his pacifier, but he settled down within a few minutes and slept until 4am. Not too bad!)

    I cannot get over how much Ethan looks like Sean - it's absolutely incredible the resemblance! I've found that Charlie gets into WAY more than Gigi ever did - maybe that's something about boys, too!

Decisions, Decisions...

...but I think I've made up my mind. I've been going back and forth, back and forth, practically since I started blogging 3 years ago: Public or Private blog? I've decided that since I share quite a bit about my family, and share lots of pictures of my children (some watermarked, most not), These Little Moments will now be a private blog. I've never felt comfortable with the fact that there are literally hundreds of photos of my daughter, our family members, and now my son posted on the Internet for anyone and everyone to see. For those of you who would like to continue keeping up with Gracie, Ethan, and our family, let me know! I will send you an invitation to the private blog. I'll still be following along with your blogs, just not publishing publicly on my own anymore. I'm going to go ahead and make the switch at the end of the week. And to those who I know are following along... Just expect an invitation! :)

The end is near.

My husband is confident. He's determined, speaks his mind, and lives for a challenge. If you tell him something cannot be done, be prepared to be proven wrong. I rarely see him get nervous, for any reason... almost. My 38-week appointment was this morning. As usual, Sean and Gracie were with me, which I love. I was anxious to get to this appointment because I started having uncomfortable cramping yesterday evening, which then lasted through the night and even into the morning. I've experienced a few other "preliminary signs" of labor which have led me to believe that we're coming up on the end here. After talking with the doctor, he offered to check my progress and strip my membranes. This is when I got a little tickled, even as I was sitting on an exam table naked from the waist down, with nothing but a paper sheet wrapped around me. As the doctor began to describe the "stripping of the membranes" process, I had my eyes on Sean. His expressions were...

Hilton Head.

I was feeling heavy. Overwhelmed. Tired. The combination of sick children, sleep deprivation, and very little "me" time was starting to push me down a bit. I don't like feeling that way. I want to wake up with a smile on my face. I want to feel motivated and light . Our Hilton Head vacation arrived at the perfect time. Packing was a nightmare, but once our car hit the highway, I felt it... Freedom . It didn't matter that I was taking a sick child along, or that I was still going to be sleep deprived. Those things are easier to handle when you get a change in scenery, especially when that scenery becomes blue skies and an endless ocean. As we do each year in January, we joined Sean's dad and step-mom for a winter get-away. The weather was kind to us this year. Gracie loves the beach. She runs, and runs, and digs, and even plops down long enough to enjoy the change of scenery for herself. Ethan was unsure of the cool sand, but even he seemed to appreciate the fres...
