Growing up is hard to do.....

They grow up so fast. How many times have you heard that one? Our two seem to be growing and learning at lightning speed these days. I guess someone told them to grow up and get out of the way....there's a baby coming soon :)

Little princess has entered and taken over toddler-hood. I can't keep up with her word count, it grows every day. She's also started counting, singing ABC's, picking out her "shoosh" each day, and giving her brother a run for his money. We couldn't have been given a more perfect girl to sandwich between two boys. She don't take nothing from nobody :) Here she is in the big girl bed. We're getting her used to this before we move her next month into a twin bed in Will's room. So far she's taken to it wonderfully, and even stays in her bed after she wakes and sings and talks. We can't believe she's not going to be the baby much longer :(
Will. Oh, Will. Ever the handful, but definitely not a baby any more. I've realized somewhere between 3 and 4 he went from toddler to "boy." And boy he is. Our conversations are both hilarious and deep these days. He has an insatiable curiosity, and like his father, asks "why" 4+ million times a day. He's doing great in school, has memorized the pledge, and is recognizing letters and will be reading before we know it.

This is at school where we went to eat lunch with him on the playground. We are thankful he loves school and has learned a great deal about responsibility, and being a good friend.


And finally, speaking of growing. Our newest one at 26 weeks. Just over three months until the newest little guy arrives. Has it really been 4 years since we had a baby boy in the house?
