17.5

AA is now 17.5 months old.  Yikes.  

This was exactly the age that this one was:

 when this one was born.

It's so just hard to comprehend ... at 17.5 months, JP seemed so old.  And at 17.5 months, AA seems so young.  I suppose it's just a matter of perspective.  Looking back, I don't think I gave JP as much credit as he so willingly deserved.  He was an amazing big brother at his ripe age of 17.5 months.  He never showed signs of jealously when he met his little sister, and he was so tender and loving towards her.  I cannot imagine AA being a big sister at this age!  Although I've wanted to pull my hair out more days than not, I am so happy that God's plan for our family was to have these two buddies so close in age.  As the months pass, parenting these two under three seems to become a bit easier ... and a bunch more rewarding.
