Naps

I've been taking everyone's advice & napping while the babies nap. They've stabilized some, and will sleep better at night, but there are still times like last night when Maia would not sleep, would not be consoled with snuggles. I think it's cause she has a slight eye infection and I think her poor little red eye must hurt.

So I haven't been blogging very regularly, obviously. But we're still here, trudging along. Things are, as Robotnik pointed out in comments last Thursday, getting better in bits and pieces. Sometimes it feels like a step forward & a step back, but usually the progress is generally forward. Not at all like the football game I watched of my nephew, when he was about 10, where the only yards the teams moved on the field were yards lost-- each team would go back into its own territory, never gaining, until 4th down and the ball swapped sides, then back again. Hilarious. They couldn't throw, so it was loss every time. I don't remember if there was ever a score.

Anyway. It's not like that. But there aren't a lot of first downs yet. We went to our first "social event" Friday-- a party at a great friend's house. They behaved like little angels. We've been going to church on Sundays (planning the whole baptism thing) and I have pondered writing about my feelings on religion, honoring the custom of the country, etc. But that will wait till a day when perhaps Andrew is off of work & I have a whole day to ask someone else to go get the baby. :) This Sunday, Sean was enthralled by the lucious pipe organ in the church. His eyes got huge and he sat there with his mouth wide open, as if he could, somehow, taste the music. I think he's going to be my little musician. Maia likes music, but can pretty much take it or leave it. He is the one who likes me to sing him to sleep, and who is right now swinging in his swing listening to Baby Bach with a happy look on his face (she's sleeping, bored, like her daddy at the first classical concert I ever conned him into-- guys will do anything for a hot chick if they think it'll get them laid.)

Anyway. Still here, less tired, and adjusting slowly. Still no minivan, but it's on the horizon.
