Miller is 10 months old

I can’t believe that my baby is ten months old already. He is growing up so fast. In my mind he is still five months old. This is probably due to a combination of denial and the fact that he only weighs 18 pounds. He had his nine month check up this past week and he is in the fifth percentile for height and weight. My friend’s four month old twins weigh as much as he does. I like it though, keep him small for as long as I can.

I don’t think he will ever walk, I carry him all the time. He never gets the chance to try! He did walk all the way around the coffee table today while holding on to it. That was a first! Tom said he was so proud of himself he grinned and got very excited. Too cute! As I just put him down for his nap I realized how old he really is.

He is still so sweet and easy. I almost feel bad sometimes because he doesn’t always get the attention when the other kids are around. Today we was in his highchair eating and I forgot that he was there. Faith and Wilson were asking their usual assortment of endless requests. Miller quietly sat in his chair and watched the chaos.

I find it getting harder and harder to give each of them attention. I end up doing nothing well. For instance, while I was sitting here typing my thoughts I took a break to put Faith’s hair into ponytails. I am also still wearing a shirt wet with pee because Miller’s diaper leaked on me. By the third child I don’t even care that I have pee touching me. I am used to it.

I did manage to get some school done today. I tricked Faith into doing math by telling her I was running a store and she had to come and buy things. I gave her some quarters and pennies. She bought at least ten items and had to pay me what coin I told her I was charging. Brilliant, right?!?!

We practiced out Bible verses and did three time line cards. The kids are learning a good bit of sign language through both of these. It is a great way to get them to remember things. I am excited to be learning it too.

Tomorrow we are going to go to the small zoo up at the star…that is, if I don’t have to take Miller to the doctor. I am pretty sure that he has a double case of pink eye. Unfortunately, this means that all of us will need to put in drops. We will see what tomorrow brings…

Kind of random, but here are two cool pictures of a storm that came in today while we were leaving the store. The clouds looked like ocean waves.
