Half Birthday Party

We have some half birthday's in the house!  Charlotte is 6 months old today and Addy is just days shy of 5 and a half.  It seems like this week has been marked with the milestones that reminds you they are growing up each day.  Addy had her kindergarten assessment on Monday and Charlotte is getting her first tooth today. 



Charlotte continues to be a smiley girl.  She is starting to sit up with help, stand on her chubby little legs and is about a week or so from rolling around all over the place.  She's taken to solids like a pro and finishes her dinner each night.  Tonight I found her first tooth breaking through - by tomorrow night I suspect we'll be able to see it even better.








Addy is still just exploding with creativity - art, make believe, it doesn't really matter the forum, she is in it. I love her passion and single minded focus on her projects.  She loves to celebrate and Grandma and Grandpa made St. Patrick's day very special.  All of a sudden the girl is reading like a pro.  Something clicked and she has expanded her vocabulary and her ability to piece words together has really grown in the last 3-4 weeks.  She is so ready for kindergarten and some new challenges.






And then this just keeps it real . . .   :)



Sometimes you just get them when they are living life.  I love them even more in these moments.

What a blessing it is to watch these two lovely girls grow.  I love them so very very much!
