Milestones

We spent the afternoon with Kelly and Amber & Bo and their girls. They're growing so quickly! Tristan will start kindergarten next month. She was just a little baby when Shawn and I got married! Gaby is 4 now. Elleana is (almost) 3 and is completely potty tained (has been for a while). Isabella (the youngest) is 8 months old. She crawls everywhere and is pulling up on everything. It's hard to picture Keira doing those sorts of things in just a few months.

Keira will be four months old TOMORROW (7/11/05). She weighed 10.5 pounds at last check. She's found her voice now, and babbles and squeals all the time. She also smiles in response to voices and faces. She's spending more play time on her tummy...trying to scoot forward. Last Sunday she rolled over (for the first time on purpose).

Holly and I were talking about motherhood on Friday. I told her that it seemed so surreal, when I was pregnant, that soon we'd have a little person to take care of. At first, it was an adjustment. But, in no time, it became so normal. This beautiful little baby has only been here for 4 months, and I cannot imagine what my life would be like if she weren't here. Amazing how quickly that happens...how quickly you can fall completely and totally in love. Who knew?
