I guess this is the part where I'm supposed to mutter some soppy, time-worn homily like "they grow up this fast"...but the truth is, they do...
Today was a banner day for the boys in more ways than one: for those keeping score, 11:15 am marked the end of dynamic duo's official third month on the face of this earth. Seems like only yesterday they came into the world crying, kicking, and peeing---and well, I suppose nothing much has changed in either of those departments, really...But they are growing--both Carter and Nathaniel have surpassed the ten-pound mark (more than doubling their birth weights!) and as a result their once cozy co-sleeper has become as crowded as a Tokyo subway car during rush hour.
Today, Lidia decided to give each of them a "test nap" in their cribs, which have sat largely vacant since I first slapped them together in a panic the week they were born, and have served largely as new hiding spots for Minnie and Maggie. When I got home from work, Carter was snoozing contentedly under his jungle animal mobile, and Nathaniel was wide-eyed and excited by the hovering characters from A.A. Milne's classic Pooh (of course, they're both too young to properly appreciate the "Batman: Animated Series" cel and 
storyboards and Alex Ross-autographed issue of "X-Men #500" I've got framed over their cribs).
By late-evening though, after some tummy time on the jungle playset, they were restless and crying out for their familiar roost--and that's perfectly fine by me...there's plenty of time for everything...no need to rush...
