It's Happening So Fast

My babies are growing up so fast! Lily is getting around better and faster now. She doesn't usually crawl though. She kind of ambles about in a bear walk. Every once in a while she will drop down to her knees and rock, but she usually gets back up on her feet when she wants to move. I've never seen another baby get around quite like her. She is making more sounds now. 'Ah-ba' and 'da-da' are her newest conversational pieces. Ryan is also increasing his repertoire. He speaks very well though he is still learning grammar. He has also has finally taken an interest in drawing. He is quite proud of his ability to draw circles and triangles. The biggest change of all and what is hardest for me to deal with is the big boy gymnastics. Next week he starts his new class. The class where he goes in alone- without me- all by himself. It makes me nervous. I wonder if he will behave, if he will listen and understand the directions and if he will be scared without me. He seems excited at the idea now, but we will see how it goes when it comes time for him to actually go in by himself. Hopefully I'll be able to hide my own apprehension! There has been something to love about every age and stage so far. I'm sure that won't end just because they need me less.

Here is a picture of my big kids at 6 months and 3 years old.
