What a long strange trip it's been...

I think this may be the longest I've gone without updating the blog since its inception. It seems like Ike's first birthday was eons ago when it hasn't even been a month! The above photo was actually taken on my phone while we were picking up some things on his birthday. He looks a lot to me like his Uncle Michael when he was around the same age.

In just the past few days, separation anxiety seems to have set in. Ike becomes VERY upset if he cannot see Mommy. Daddy is a close second. Earlier in the week, he was more than happy to hang out with Little Grammy while Mommy went out for a few hours. We're not sure how he would react to my absence if we tried that again in the immediate future.

We quickly learned (thank you T. Berry Brazelton) that this is completely normal. We also learned there is little we can do to stop it. Fiddlesticks! Isn't child development fascinating?
