3 kids

For the last 6 months I feel like we have been juggling 2 kids and 1 baby. They eat separately, bathe separately, play separately and operate on different schedules. and then this happened: see picture.

When we got to my parents house, the big kids were playing on the fireplace. Gemma crawled over and pulled herself to their level like it was nothing. Suddenly, my perspective shifted. Soon we will have 3 kids - not this 2 kids, 1 baby business. She will want to be with them more than she will want to be with me soon. She will be doing the same things they are doing and fighting right along with them. It always blows my mind, but this baby is really her own little person - one who will stand on her own two feet sooner rather than later.
