Inches.

Life lately has been going by very quickly. It sometimes seems like we go to bed with tiny babies and wake up with much bigger ones. Elijah is getting so big! I can’t believe he is already 9 months old.

He is already standing up all by himself! He says Dada and Mama! He’s eating mushed up food and has 6 perfect teeth (two more on the way any day now). He looks so serious but has this amazing little giggle. He adores his sister and loves when she spins him around. He is dealing with some momma clinginess right now and doesn’t like it when I walk away. He knows to put his arms up when I ask him to and he really badly wants to walk.

Arabella is growing over night… she doesn’t look like a toddler at all anymore. She’s this amazing, gorgeous, intelligent kid who sprouted up over night! She’s witty and silly and brilliant. I honestly cannot believe she’s almost 4! Every time I look at her I wonder where the time has gone. I know how lucky I am. She drives me crazy but I wouldn’t change her for the world. She is one of the most amazing people I have ever known.

Inch by inch life is changing. These kids are growing so quickly. I honestly cannot believe how fast life goes by once you have children. I’d give a lot just to have it slow down a little!

So what have we been up to lately? We’ve been going on a lot of local adventures and trying to keep busy! There are a lot of neat historical places to visit or hike and we’ve been trying to take it all in. The kids love being outside and enjoying the nice weather.
