Growing Up Too Fast

Matthew officially figured out how to ride his bike a few weeks ago and looking back at these pictures has made me realize my kids are growing up way too fast!  Matthew is three and a half he's not a baby any more he's not technically a toddler any more either.  Sad day!  Don't get me wrong I'm glad he's growing and maturing I just miss the baby Matthew!  Matthew update: he currently weighs 39lbs and is 41 inches tall.  He is so smart!  He knows all his letters upper and lower case, and he can sing the ABC song.  He even knows some of the sounds that certain letters make.  He's good with numbers and knows all his shapes.  He is potty trained (but we still have occasional accidents:).  He loves nursery, I'm worried how he will do after the new year and he has to go to primary!  He is such a sweet smart little boy! 

Within the last month or so Matthew and Lilly have developed quite a friendship!  They love to play together (most days).  They spend a lot of time together in their bedroom playing!  They both have very strong wills and hot tempers though so things can get heated really fast but for the most part they play very well together! 

Lilly, Lilly, Lilly she is becoming quite a hand full!  How can someone so cute and tiny cause so much trouble and destruction?  She is constantly into everything.  Constantly making a mess, she is also drawn to all things breakable!  She leaves a path of destruction everywhere she goes, books ripped up, all things glass broken.  She even destroyed a curtain rod by hanging on the curtains!  It's a good thing she's so cute!  All that being said she really is a sweet baby!  She loves to cuddle and give kisses.  She is such a daddy's girl (it's really cute) she stands on the couch and looks out the window calling "daddy" while Rick's at work.  Lilly update: she finally reached 20lbs last week.  She has mastered the art of running (she is surprisingly fast for her size!)  Her favorite word is Daddy she also says mom (not very often) and she surprised us by saying "I love you" to my mom the other day!
