getting BIG

This morning as we were sitting around doing our normal "morning" things (breakfast, getting dressed, etc) I looked around at these two girls and thought to myself.."they are growing up way too fast!" Maggie is sitting up, trying to crawl, loving baby food, and chuckles like a 300 lb woman....she is too precious. But what happened to my 6 lb newborn? The past 8 months have flown by! AND CAROLINE...my goodness...she wants to do EVERYTHING by herself. She can tell you just what she wants and how she wants it...of course communication has never been a problem for her. She is like talking to an adult. She is doing GREAT in preschool. She is the youngest in her class by far but it keeping up with the other kids very well. She is also going to gymnastics and LOVES that! The child needed some physical activity b/c she likes movies (yes full length movies) way too much! She asks me if she can watch Alvin and the chipmunks at least three times a day. And the strict mother that I am...I usually only let her watch it twice....ha:) JK! WE just signed her up for swim lessons so that is our next big hurdle. We want to toss those swimmies in time for summer. Never too early to learn to swim when there is a pool in the backyard! I tell her everyday I'm going to put a brick on her head and she always says "no Mommy I want to grow up just like you" so sweet!
