A little longer........

As a mother I love to watch my boys grow.........BUT.......I just wish they would do it a little slower! This week was one full of milestones that were bittersweet. If you are a mom, I know you understand. Can't someone out there design a way to keep them little.... just a little longer? Love these little ones.

I could just eat this kid!

I can't believe I actually caught it on tape but I did. Benjamin has become a pretty speedy creeper and thought I'd get his cute caterpillar crawl on tape. Just fired up the camcorder he got up on all fours for the first time and away he went!


The very next day I went to get him out of his crib after his nap and he had pulled himself up to standing in his crib!

Every morning for the last year and a half it has been the same struggle with Warren. "Mom, I don't have time to get dressed!" Warren is our alarm clock which consists of coming down waking us up and making sure one of us gets his breakfast and cartoon going first thing. Getting dressed always usually comes MUCH later. Well, last monday I just about fell out of bed when he greeted my sleepy eyes ......fully dressed! Shirt, Pants, Hat, Socks & Tie! He now dresses himself every morning before leaving his room!

Warren was a wonderful eater until he was about two. Since then, the foods in his repertoire that he will consume have sharply decreased in number. He will eat bread, ham & sometimes cheese but not together. He has NEVER eaten a sandwich. Last Thursday he grabbed a hamburger bun and some turkey and requested a "booger". So there you have it...Warren's first turkey booger. He ate the whole thing too!

Enjoy it, because I've noticed the older they get, the faster they grow... Brooklyn will be driving before Jeff's new car is toast, about 7 years...Tyler is full blow in school, until he graduates and I'm trying to hold onto my 4 yr old baby as long as I can.

I find this part of parenting very bitter sweet. You are so happy they are doing these things and then you realize you want to cry. Seriously, where does the time go?

What a cutie Little Benjamin is!!! I agree...how do we stop the clock??? But then there are other days that I think....would you just grow up and do it yourself?!
