It's been a while

It's been a while since I've come to the blog.  It's been a crazy few weeks.

However, when I logged in, I looked at the picture of the boys at the top.  I took that picture last summer - and thought they looked so grown up.  I sit here and shake my head now...as they have both grown and changed so much since that picture was taken.

Both of the boys have been sleeping in full beds for the past few nights.  Wow - we went from cribs to full beds in about 6 months!  Jackson is working on learning to buckle his own seat belt, and Lincoln is ready for a booster seat.

Besides having physically grown since last summer, they've also matured and learned so much too.  They read books to us now.  They can count to 15 pretty well, and they recognize all of their letters (both capital and lower case).  Both boys can spell their names, and Jackson can also spell Lincoln's name and Hart.  They sing songs about letter sounds, and continue to amaze us each day. 

For example, the boys got Mobigos for Christmas.  They are hand held games. The first few times they played with them, they didn't really know what to do with them.  Now, they play the games on the difficult level!  And they don't need our help either.

Our little boys are growing up so fast...but I know that they are going to be great big brothers!  They are so excited about the baby....and I can't wait for them to meet their new brother or sister!
