Um. Hi Again.

So, as it turns out, having two kids in the family makes getting to the computer for a blog post totally impossible. Mom and Dad are always hogging the interwebs to research baby stuff (they were muttering something about "colic cures" and "gotta be a way..." for a long time, now it's something to do with "puree").

Yes, we've had a long year of baby prep and reality. And I'm realizing that "baby brother" is not quite the party I'd thought it would be. Still, he's cute and funny and I love him. I help out with lots of baby chores and love making him laugh--which is pretty easy to do. And he brings special visitors who love me, too!

At first, Quillan was just a tiny little lump who did nothing but sleep. On any shoulder, much to the shoulder-owner's delight. No matter who had him he was quietly gazing or, more likely, snoozing--like Daddy.

In the meantime, I found lots to do. Ciaran is my buddy and he keeps me busy, I like to spend time with my PopPop, Patches is my homeboy, and in the fall and winter there is always cookie making. AND there is always my favorite activity--especially since I got one of these. But having a brother is a challenge and I miss my mom and dad's undivided attention. Still, there are special times I have with them. Mommy saves extra special snuggles for me and Daddy and I have time together on the way to school every morning

Eventually, Quill got big enough to play with every once in a while, and now I can snuggle with him or carry him around, though for some reason that has Mommy and Daddy chasing after me. I'm excited to teach him the things I know, though. And he sure is an eager student!

I love him and he loves me and we share lots of similarities:

Me. Quillan.

Me. Quillan.

Me. Quillan.

But I'm me and he's he and that's that.
