Practice

I know, I just posted (see below), but I wanted to add one more thing.... When I went into the baby's room earlier this evening to put something away, this is what I saw:


This little monkey joined our family a couple days ago courtesy of my Aunt Sheri. Ever since he arrived, I've found him in various places, such as sleeping in the crib (as above) or taking a ride in the stroller (oh yes, the stroller we received from my work shower was opened and rolling around our house within 12 hours of receiving it). Although he's much larger than the manchild* will be, I'm glad Shane's excited enough to use him as a temporary stand-in. Obviously, he can't wait for the real boy to come!!

*"Man-child" is Shane's nickname for our soon-to-be little boy. At first I didn't embrace it, but sometimes it's nice to call him something other than "the baby." It's growing on me...
