A few simple things to remember

 
I love that Graham is mostly a very happy baby.  He's very social, too.  Pretty much any time he sees a person, he lights up with a huge smile.  However, there are times when I wish he wasn't quite so social.  For instance, every night right before bed and in the middle of the night.   When I am trying to put him to bed, he just stares at me and smiles and giggles.  In the middle of the night when I check on him while crying, he looks up and stares at me with a huge smile.  Almost as if to say, "Just wanted to say hi, Mom!"  It is precious!  But it's a bit frustrating, too.  Lately he has not been sleeping well and at this point I'd rather him sleep than stare at me with that huge grin.  I feel awful saying that, but I am starting to get really, really tired....for some reason I only remember not sleeping with a newborn.  I didn't expect to be losing sleep with an almost-five month old!
 

Despite the picture, Grace really enjoyed going to the dentist yesterday.  She did amazing-- sat in the chair with her mouth wide open the whole time!  I was very impressed.  She took Geri with her and held her during the cleaning.  I was prepared for tears and a fit, so I made sure to talk it up and tell her all about what they were going to do.  First cleaning: success!
