Big Changes for the Little Kids

Lenah is wrapping up month 8 and she's turning into such a big girl. On the first day she turned eight months old, I saw her sitting up in her pack n play for the first time. She went through "sleep boot camp." It only took three nights and now she's sleeping through the night! She also starting crawling on 7/27! She started on Saturday evening and just took off. She's crawling really well and starting to pull up on everything. She sits up in the tub now and just looks so big! Blake is also continuing to grow and develop at a fast pace. The other night, I was inside and my mom was out with the kids. I came out to find her pushing him high on the swing (not the baby one that I always use). I told her he'd never been on it before! He loved it and kept asking to go higher. Tonight on the way up for bath, Heath noticed that he was walking up the stairs without using his hands. He looked a little bigger walking up the stairs like that. And of course, Farah is preparing for kindergarten in a month! I've spent one day last week and this week with just one child. Farah is so independent when it's her day home. She received a really nice case of Bratz dolls and accessories from a neighbor, and she played with those and went to the pool with me. She knew I was really tired today, and when it was time to leave the pool she said, "well, your wish has come true." I said, "what's that?" She responded with, "it's nap time!" She also asked me today why do people go on honey balloons after they married:)
