"Because I'm Fast, Not Slow . . ."

A few weeks back, my then four-year-old informed me that he could not stop running around the upstairs and sounding like a one man herd of elephants because he simply is fast.

The same must be true of the summer.  Last time I looked, it was April.  Gabriel was an itty bitty baby.  Easter was a recent memory, and school was starting to wind down.

Now, the summer is OVER.  Little Ted is five and will start kindergarten (!) TODAY.  Gabe is four months old and rolling over in a desperate attempt to start crawling.  What happened to the time?

In a word - PLENTY.  So, here's a  recap of the last several months.

Gabe's 1st bath - without tears!  He seemed to really enjoy it.

The brothers have gotten to know each other.  They're great friends - no one can make Gabe laugh quite like Little Ted. 

Ted's mom hosted a baby shower for us.  It was lots of fun, and everyone got to meet Gabriel for the first time.

Little Ted completed preschool!  (Wasn't he just learning how to walk?)

Then he turned 5!  Ted insisted on wearing his Super Mario costume, which went well with his Spiderman and Captain America cakes.

Baby Gabriel grew . . . he added 3 lbs. between his 2 and 4 month check ups.  I'm constantly rotating clothes in his closet and trying to keep up with his growth spurts.

I wonder if the fall is going to march through as quickly as the summer did . . . we'll soon find out!
