~Growing Up~

It is amazing on how quickly my babies are growing up.

It really seems like yesterday when I was pregnant with Rowan.  19 years old... working at a grocery store... deeply in love my with boyfriend... and pregnant.  It is amazing at how many pitiful looks I got from people when they realized I wasn't married and how young I was...

I didn't care then and I still don't.

I'd have to say I'm a pretty lucky 23 year old. 

I am married (now... lol)... I own my own home (that I get to pay lovely house payments for!) and I have 2 beautiful children (that can drive me up a wall quicker than a mustang can go from 0-60).

But you know what?

I wouldn't change it for the world.

 

Anyway, back to my kids growing up.

It seems like every day, my children are learning new things and growing beyond my imagination.

Rowan is coming into her own person.  Right now, she is Miss Into-Everyone's-Business.  She likes to tattle-tale on her brother- guess she doesn't realize a 13 month old doesn't really know right from wrong- and tell on me too!

I swear, sometimes I look at her and think "You are only 4??"... that is how crazy she is.  She is wise beyond her years... well, most of the time :)

And Mr. Zachary.

Oh, that boy is growing by leaps and bounds every day.

Friday marked a growth point in his life too.

He got his hair cut--- pictures to come soon, I promise.

Yes, he got his hair cut.  I couldn't believe it.  He did so well and didn't seem to care at all that my hair dresser was chopping of his baby hair.  All he did care about was his sucker that he had to distract him :)

Zachary has also learned to point to his nose and ears (sometimes for the ears)... my dad also taught him to wipe his own nose!!  What 13 month old knows how to wipe his nose??  Its the cutest thing.  He'll take the Kleenex and wipe his nose and then hand it back to you.  I swear, I was really surprised to see for the first time.

He is also learning how to feed himself with a fork and spoon.  I think its good for kids to learn this... Rowan was using a fork and spoon very well by the time she was 18 months old... and let me tell you, the doctor was surprised that she was doing it.  So yeah, he is getting to be a big boy.

They are growing up quickly... it is almost kinda sad.

 

Well, I wanted to write more... but it is getting to be the boys time for bed.  Its time for a warm bottle of milk and then the binkie!!

I've got some more stuff to share later... like the pictures of Zach getting his hair cut... but they'll have to wait!!

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and also has a great week ahead of them...

Love and Hugs to all,
