Erica - I had been wondering about you, and now I hope you can follow through and let us know how you are doing, even when the news isn't great.  We're here for you.  *hug*

 I'll try to not completely derail the thread. Difficult...As Theo gets older it becomes harder to remember to be patient.  Amazingly, I find myself annoyed that he doesn't understand or do what I tell him.  Ha.  Surprising - well, to be honest, I'm surprised at my own lack of patience, as I had seemingly infinite patience for the first few months, and I never would have guessed that I would expect anything but unpredictability and lack of cooperation from a baby.

 Oh lordy, if only!  There's no such thing as an empty surface in our house, and I expect that will always be the case.
