Love the description of Eloise's walking...the other baby in my life (Johnny) does the same thing with his hands up around his ears. It's so cute! Hope to see the Sparveys soon!! Nice one, Rachel!

It's "screen media" and not TV? Ellie plays all kinds of games on the iPhone and Animal Crossing on the DS. I've ruined my baby. Although I'm pretty sure that it's the TV as constant background noise and not 5 minutes of college football that ruins their attention span. That's what I'm going to continue to tell myself anyway. Can't wait for next month! Next month comes with cake. Crap. It’s “screen media” and not TV? Ellie plays all kinds of games on the iPhone and Animal Crossing on the DS. I’ve ruined my baby.

In fact I have been impatiently checking for the last few days, waiting for it, and was very pleased to discover it here tonight. As always, it's lovely to read. I particularly love the description of E's laugh, and J's fear of nose-blowing. And of course you are exactly right about the frantic need to occupy the exact same point in space at the exact same minute -- crazy babies! Onward we go... I have been looking forward to this post!

He is also sharp and intense, so there could be some drama there. And how sweet little Julian is, giving you the ball. I love the post. It is really nice to read your observations about the babies and their similarities and differences. Today for some reason I found myself looking back at the pictures of the babies from their first day, in the hospital. Even though they are still wee, they were *very* wee then.

What makes you think any institution will ever award Eloise a diploma? Okay, just my usual Grouchy Grandpa nonsense. I fully expect Eloise to complete college by age 12 and to have a PhD at 15. Nice post, Rachel. I’ll say you’re getting ahead of yourself. What makes you think any institution will ever award Eloise a diploma?
