Growing up TOO FAST!

I just CANNOT believe how fast my kids are growing up!! I know, so cliche! You always hear, enjoy them while they are young, it doesn't last long. That's for sure! Ella talks SO well, is counting (almost to 20!) learning her ABC's, has been potty trained for months (since before she was 2). Colten crawls at super top speed on his hands & feet & started taking steps last week (before he was even 9 months!) 

Before I know it he'll be talking too & running around. It does fly by & I try to take every moment & just ENJOY them! Like how Ella wakes up each day singing & Colten wakes up laughing. :) How Ella has an imaginary birdie, & sees butterflies everywhere she goes. How Colten's face lights up when the door opens & Dave walks in the house & he sits & listens, as soon as Dave talks he flys into the kitchen to see his Daddy. How those little fingers are figuring out how to pick everything up (and of course shove it into his mouth as quickly as possible) How they just ADORE each other! Coltens favorite place to be is in Ellas room playing with her (and her cool toys) How Ella takes care of her baby brother, helping him, taking away things he shouldn't have, keeping her small toys picked up so he can't get them. So, I encourage you to slow down & enjoy the small things your children do. After all, some day you will realize the small things are really the big things. :)
