baby sol finds his voice

Baby Sol has found his voice. And it's sweet. Full of ahgoos and gurgles, full of smiles and grabby fingers. He's so psyched to be part of things, all the time. He's finding his way into a bit of mischief, usually involving his sister's curls. He's decided that he really, really likes to sleep between his parents (goshum golly, I hate this sleep thing!) I vacillate between knowing that he has to sleep on his own to the exhausted, well heck, it's probably my last baby, why not keep him in my arms, a year from now this will all be forgotten and he'll be big. Either way, he's a sweet 'lil dude to have really close by. And he's beginning to look an awful lot like his sister! He's rockin' some of her old duds and it's kinda like looking at an elphin clone. These beautiful, pale, blue eyed children we create. Pretty special.


In other Solomon news, he can now sit up. It only lasts for about ten seconds and then he begins to topple with a big giant grin, his apple pink cheeks all aglow. Until his head hits the floor and then he loses the smile, but takes it in stride. A bit of a frown, but no big theatrics. That's another reason why I love this kid -- he's still pretty low on the drama-meter. This cannot be said for his sister...but oh how we love her just the same. More news from our little preschooler to come. For now, let's hear it for the boy.
