They grow up so quickly...

Sorry, no pictures today but I felt compelled to post. Now that i'm back to work I don't have the time to do photo shoots with the kids like I used to. And I guess that's fine considering I have hundreds, probably thousands, of pictures that need to be organized and put into photo albums (and not just kept on the computer!!).

Nathan continues to amaze me every single day. Lately i've noticed that he will repeat words you say. He can even say words like "horsey" and "zebra". If I hand him crackers he will say crackers. He can also ask for juice! My little guy turns 16 months old today and I just can't believe it. Where did the time go? I miss the newborn days of oohing and aahing over a teeny tiny little baby but don't miss the every 2 hour feedings, round the clock care, and complete helplessness of a newborn baby. Cute yes, do I want another? NO.

Katie is developing in her speech as well. We asked her what sport Nick plays and she responded with "Nick plays soccer". That may not seem spectacular to many, but for us it was. We were so proud she could answer a question with a full sentence! She still just repeats what you say quite a bit, but she's slowly moving towards initiating conversation and answering questions. She'll be 3 in about 7 months! Yikes.

And let the count down begin...5 more month ends and i'll be off for the winter!!!
