They're growing too fast!!

We went to Grace's 1 month appointment today, and she is now 8 pounds, 3 ounces and 20.25 inches long. I had a feeling she was over 8 pounds, as she was beginning to fit in size 1 diapers, but I still couldn't believe she was that big already!! And she's a month old today!! Man oh man.

Oh and my first baby? He can completely dress and undress himself, brush his own teeth, identify the upper and lowercase of letters of the alphabet as pairs (he can match up a lowercase "a" with an uppercase "A", for example), he can dictate the words in some of his books, and the biggest thing??? He's on his last Pull-Up at bedtime!! That means after tonight, it's underwear all the time, baby!! He's been dry and probably ready for underwear at bedtime for a a month or more, but we thought we'd wait and ease him into yet another change. I think he'll be fine. He always wakes up dry and he does sometimes tell us in the middle of the night that he has to go. I'm so proud of him. And he'll be going to Preschool in the Fall.

What a blessing that my babies are healthy and growing up right on track, but as a mommy, sometimes you have to just sit back for a moment and let your eyes well up with tears and wonder where the time has gone...
