Dispatch from Babyville...

It has been a busy week. I really am intending to actually post a real actual post with actual words and things, but I seem to have exactly 3.2 seconds to myself each day, and I try to at least sponge off during them, as not to offend the neighbors. So, for now....

We've been a busy little household, what with adjusting to double the children in our house now (it sounds more dramatic to state it that way) and getting used to the schedule of a newborn again. It is a little more of a challenge now that I have a toddler, too. A toddler who really does seem to both understand that there was a baby in mommy's tummy and now the baby has come home to live with us. She's really amazing, that Peanut. Her vocabulary is expanding every ten minutes or so, and her grasp of concepts and her sense of wonder... well, they slay me.

Also, she's begun singing. Oh, it made me cry the first time I was treated to the whisper-singing rendition of "Twinkle, twinkle, wonder star... twinkle, twinkle..." She's pretty amazing.

Oh, and that new little baby, who holds her head up for thirty seconds or more at a time, who is beginning to smile at us, and who snuggles like a champion? She's pretty neat, too.
