Some Milestones

I want to record some information about Andrewand Beth before I forget.
On September 1, 2010 Kevin discovered Andrew's first bottom tooth had erupted. I believe it was the tooth on the bottom right side of his mouth. He now has two tiny bottom teeth that are quite sharp.
Just this week Andrew has started to army crawl and also be able to rise up on his hands and knees and go one crawl length or whatever you would call it before collapsing. He can use a combination of rolling, flopping, army crawling, and very early real crawling to get anywhere he wants in the family room. I'm not sure if I'm ready for the crawling stage. He puts everything in his mouth and our home has so many stairs. I will have to watch him even closer as he gets more mobile.
Beth had her second real haircut on September 1, 2010. I took her to a neighborhood salon. The beautician was from Vietnam and I had a very hard time understanding her. She thought Beth would look better with much shorter hair and cut off most of Beth's curls. I missed her curls immediately. She looks more grown up now and I think her hair is growing in straighter. I want her to stay my little girl forever but people have tried to tell me that eventually she would have had to have them cut off. I think she looks quite different but she is still darling.
Beth has completed her first month at preschool with Miss Lori in Murray. She loves it. Every time Miss Lori opens the garage at the end of preschool I see Beth looking for me. She takes this very seriously and I always think there's a moment where a look of doubt that she'll find me crosses her face. But I have always been there watching her. Once she finds me, she runs to me and yells "MOM!". She is the only student who does this and I want to savor it every time. There are seven other students with her in the afternoon session but she has yet to be able to tell me all of their names. Apparently there is a girl named Eli, so when she was leaving a message to Aunt Eli on the phone yesterday she had to tell her about the girl in her preschool named Eli.
