Birthdays

He doesn't eat at all, but he managed to make quite a mess with his cupcake. Four turned one! He seems like such a baby still, but he's not an infant anymore. I am trying hard to look forward to all of the cool stuff he's going to learn how to do in the next few months, but it's hard to not miss that sweet little bundle with the smell good head. These days he has dirty feet and hands, and more often than not he just plain stinks!


And then while I was blinking my baby girl turned seven. She is the only one of the four I was able to hold directly after she was delivered, and I will never forget the look in her eyes. She has an old soul. I have a hard time believing she is so very old now. The awful part is I know it is only going to keep on happening. She is big enough these days to not even technically need a car seat anymore.


I know that no matter what I do these kids will continue to grow and change, and that is a good thing. I know it is and if I keep saying it it will be true...right. I just can't help but feeling like they are growing WAY too fast. I just am glad that I am able to be at home with them. I can't even imagine how much I would have missed if they had gone right into daycare and then into school. I am truly a very lucky woman!
