Despite the illness over here (this past week, THE FIVE had chest colds, four of them along with ear infections), there have been some cool milestones:

• Thomas pulled out his first baby tooth (got it on video!)
• Aiden learned to put together jigsaw puzzles (thanks to Aunt Lynn!) and is very talented in this area
• Micah learned to touch his tongue to his nose and can do it on demand (and has attained Hero Status)
• Leah, in defiance of gravity, rolled over this morning! There IS hope!

And Tab? She’s going on 40. She completely orchestrated the bringing in-and-putting-away of groceries last night – every item exactly where it needed to go. I was very impressed. I was talking to Grandma Becky at the time, and we were getting a kick outta Tab saying, “Hurry up, BOYS! That goes in the pantry!” She has also been volunteering to help change the babies. And, she’s been making me work out with her: “This is so relaxing, isn’t it mom? We should do this every day.” Really. Who could ask for anything more?
