ABCs, 123s

Tristan and I have been doing a little bit of official 'school' in the mornings.  I have been trying to put a memory verse up for the week that stays on his marker board always until we get a new one.  We have been doing some simple math: 1+1=2, 1+2=3 type of stuff and he's getting it!  It's kinda scary... we've been doing shapes, colors, spelling, reading and a little human anatomy. :)  He's learned all the things on your face and is getting a lot of body parts.  He can tell you how to spell his name, and Lucy's.  I am thoroughly amazed!

Lucy has also learned to sit up in the past week.  I used to try and sit her up and she was just fold in half pretty much eating her toes... which she seemed to enjoy enough ;)  But then one day I sat her down and she straightened herself up.. and hasn't looked back since!  It's crazy!  They just do it one day, and that's that.  She is starting to want to grab at a lot more stuff and get to things.  She is showing more interest in what I'm eating and has even tried a breadstick :)

My children are such a blessing... they're giving me baby fever!!  Ahhh!!!  But I know that our heart is towards adoption, so we are looking more into that.  I am EXCITED.  I LOVE everything (even the bad whiny, poopy moments) of being a parent.  Everybody says that being a Grandparent is better than a parent... I just can't even imagine.  :)  I LOVE IT.
