Big Girls

I was so struck today by how fast our girls are growiing that I had to sit down and write about it.

We've moved Katen's toys down to the finished basement so she has this huge room to play in. While we were down there, I went into the store room to grab our Bumbo for Ana to play in. There I saw Katen's old Jumparoo. (Still with me? A bumbo is a little seat that supports them sitting upright and a jumperoo is like a johny jump up only you don't hang it. It stands alone.) I pulled out the jumparoo just to see how much longer it would be until I could put Ana in it and have her touch the ground with her feet. Katen was about 6 mos before she could play in it, and we had to put books below her feet because she was still too short. Well imagine my suprise when Ana could touch the ground at not quite three months. Wow she's tall! ...And how did those three months fly by?

After recovering from the shock I looked to see what Katen was doing and she was sitting on her little red trike. She's always loved playing with the buttons that honk the horn and play songs but it's been a gift she had to grow into because she couldn't reach the pedals. Well guess what. She had her feet on the pedals. I can't believe how fast they grow! All of her pants are getting to be high waters too, so we need spring to get her so we can pass them off as cropped pants. Ha!

If anybody knows how to freeze time, let me know. Although I imagine things just keep getting more and more fun. They have been so far. Man, I love our kids. :)
