Some Second Child Musings

Olivia is a short 9 days away from the 6 month mark and that got me
thinking about how differently we've patented her. Some of the
differences, like laying her down to fall asleep in her bed by
herself, have been very intentional. Others have been out of
necessity, like letting her hang out in the crib so I cab shower with
Abby getting at her. And some are just the product of "been there,
done that". Either way, I've noticed that we've been a lot more laid
back with her - especially in the area of hoovering watching for
milestones. And being a lot less cautious about letting her interact
with bigger kids, mostly because there is no way around it.
