Miller Moments

Cohen is right on track for the "separation anxiety" stage which usually happens between 8 and 9 months. Our good little sleeper has decided to fight going to bed - crying at the top of his lungs (thank gosh Carter is a heavy sleeper) if you aren't standing beside the crib. Even if he is asleep and you leave the room, he starts whaling again. Now he has decided that 5 am is time to get up so the nights have been short and days long - hence why I probably caught the cold that I did.

We keep asking Carter about a sleep over at someone's house and he says that he will miss us too much, so apparently separation anxiety happens at a number of stages in childhood. Carter got a big gash on his cheek (with blood and all) from trying to break his snow fort the other day - no picture but it was quite traumatic for him anyway.

Grandma Janet is in town visiting for the week, as she had hand surgery and has some time off work. It is nice to have her visit and someone to help entertain the kids, especially since I can't leave the room without Cohen crying.
