My "Baby" is not a baby!

Time is one of the most treasured things we have with our kids.  The days go slow but the years go fast.

My "baby" Bobby promoted from Pre-K to Kindergarten last night.  Where the heck did these last 5 years go?

Our preschool, Little People's Learning Center helped our family out last year when Tommy arrived. I seriously am not sure what I would have done without the ability to get my big kids out the door regularly with their friends & learn along the way.  I'm very thankful (and lucky) I was able to stay home with the kids and ship them to preschool.

Here's a few pictures from last night celebrating our transition from toddler to big kid school (as Bobby calls it).  Kindergarten starts August 25th

9 months and First Dance Preview

Tommy turned 9 months yesterday.  His latest:

-Crawling everywhere - under, over, etc. its a mess lol

-Pulling himself to standing off of everything - people, kids, dog, etc.

-Beginning to understand how to wave hi (or its always a good coincidence, but I really think he's getting it)

-Baby babbles alot

He's good. Just getting teeth so having some uncomfortable days. Havent been into the well check yet for stats. I'm guessing he's around 25lbs. Yes, I know, enormous.

Brooklyn had dress rehearsal for her first dance recital this morning.  To make sure I have room on the SD card for the actual recital tonight, I downloaded the photos today.  Here's a sneak peak from this morning...

Getting ready - curls!!

Waiting at the wrong location! lol

I dont think I have captured it yet on video, but this week Tommy has basically started crawling.  He definitely did a lot of forward scooting yesterday, and the latest new trick is pulling himself up to the standing position. Yikes! Gotta baby proof the house - either that or the kid is gonna have to wear a helmet, elbow & knee pads. LOL

Stay cool!!!

8 months

8 months old on 4/30!

Finally, started to get a tooth at 7.5 months old. This is MUCH earlier than the other 2 kids. Wonder if this is an indicator he will do other things early too.

Nothing else new really. He can do the pincher grasp now, I let him drink from a cup (like my cup) to let him get used to it. Its a mess, but he likes it.

Derek coached Brooklyn yesterday. He did great. Our current coach promotes slide tackling - I dont like that at all. Hes nice but that is not right.

Other than that all is well over here. Have a great week.
