What's new with us?

The day before his 5 month birthday Lucas decided it was finally time to roll over from back to belly. The he decided to forget how to roll back. One step forward, one back. But now he has been able to master rolling all over the place. I think he will start to crawl very soon. He gets up on his knees and rocks back and forth. I am in trouble when he is fully mobile. I can tell already he is going to be a handful!! His 6 month birthday is coming up fast and I don't know where the time went. Its so exciting to see him learn new things everyday, but sad also because he is my last baby and it's going by WAY to fast.
Hannah is almost 3 going on 20. She makes me laugh so hard everyday when she speaks like a little adult with a tiny voice. We have to be very careful because she likes to repeat everything, EVERYTHING, we say. Good and BAD. I learned that the hard way the other day... She is almost done with her first year of dance class. Overall, I think it was a success. She loves everything pretty & sparkly & pink. I am trying to enjoy it while it lasts. She loves letting me buy her adorable clothes and only wants to wear dresses. I am sure before I know it the day will come when we fight over what she can wear, so I am soaking it up while I still can. She will start preschool this Fall. I can't even believe it yet, my tiny little 5 pound baby is now almost 3 and going to school? She can not wait and I am sure I will be the one crying as she runs into school, never looking back.
Our 4 year anniversary is also coming up and I realized we have accomplished a lot of things in 4 years. Marriage, House, Baby #1, Baby #2... No wonder I am tired, we have been busy!
And, as Mother's Day approaches I am ever so grateful for mine. Always there to help, listen and make sure I stay sane. I have no idea what I- WE would do without her. Growing up you never realize what your parents do for you. I don't think you can or even try to understand until you are a parent yourself. Now that I am there, I thank God for mine and hope I can raise my kids and give them all they gave me.
