Angela: Yup, that's a good way of putting it! The honeymoon IS OVER. LOL.
It sounds like you understand exactly what I mean.
Gid: Haha. The way it works is: If YOUR child does it early, it's really special and important, but if YOUR child does it later, it's not really a milestone anyways. Haha.
Seriously, though, I know it doesn't matter when it happens, but it's always exciting when it does happen.
That's adorable about your girls carrying the little guy around. I'll bet they enjoy the heck out of him!
Orian likes to carry Izzy, but he carries her like a freakin sack of potatoes. She does not like it.
Usually she is happily playing and he picks her up and walks around for a minute until she gets squirmy and then comes up to me and says, "Where do you want me to put this?" Haha.
LW: Thanks.
Loca: Haha, I think I would have preferred that she wait so she wouldn't get into as much and so that her daddy could see her first steps, but it's still really exciting.
I went to a get together last night and there was another baby her age (almost exactly her age) and he was all mellow and chill. She was all over the place and getting into stuff.
Poor me.

"Make sure to put that on his resume"...hahaha. That's brilliant.
FS: I definitely think it's because she watches her brothers! She is highly motivated to find ways to cause the most trouble possible, haha!
