Baby's Growing

Trevor noticed that when Adam sits in this chair now, he won't put his feet down.  They just suspend in the air all by their lonesome.  It is fun to watch him grow and enter a new stage of feet grabbing and rolling over (he's only rolling half way over so far..still trying to make it onto his tummy).  Where did these last 5 (almost 6) months go?  I remember it felt like a long time for Jacob to grow up.  Those first 2 years had long erased from my memory what it was like when it was just me I had to worry about.  When it was time to have our second baby, I dreaded the long period it would take for the baby to grow and turn into my favorite toddler stage.  It turned out that Hunter's first year flew by.  When he turned 1, I couldn't even believe it had already been a year.  Adam's first year is flying by at even a faster rate.  It is so amazing to me how fast these little babies grow up!  Now my first baby is getting ready to start 1st grade.  It makes me sad that I'll have to let go of him even more as he ventures to all day school.  We've avoided it for as long as possible!!  I used to dream about the day that all my kids were in school all day.  Imagine the wonder of having about 6 hours all to myself..oh the things I would get accomplished!!  Now I am OK if time wants to take a break and slow down for a while.  

       

Funny Jacob Story:  Today we were at my friends and the boys were going outside to play.  I told Jacob to be sure and close the door behind him.  "Don't worry," he told me sounding almost sarcastic, "I know how to use a door."  It made me smile.
