Denial...

Will I ever get used to time going entirely too fast?! 

No, I'm pretty sure I won't. 

Not only are the boys FIVE months old already, they are to that point where everyday brings something new. New sounds, new tricks, new skills learned...*sigh*, it is going so fast! 

Just last week, Beckett went from kicking his feet at each other to MOVING. Yes, mobility is not far away at our house! EEK! 

After getting home from a long afternoon of errands, shopping, and dinner for my birthday, we came home and laid the boys together on the play mat to let them stretch out before bedtime. T.O.G.E.T.H.E.R - as in, laying right next to each other.

Imagine our surprise when we came back from unloading the dirty bottles out of the diaper bag and found this...

Yep, he's officially a scooter! He hasn't quite figured out rolling over yet. But it is close.

Everett is starting to wiggle and squirm too. So I'm pretty sure we will be complete chaos around here sooner rather than later. 

Mobility isn't the only thing creeping up on us. We've got some very independent littles around here lately. Just this morning they both decided that mommy holding their bottles was for the birds.

Beckett is a two hander

   

Everett is a cool I-can-do-this-one-handed type.

 

And we have reached the stage where we know where our mouth is, that our hands can go in it, and therefore everything we touch goes in.

Even when Mom has cereal for us to eat, some things are just more fun to munch on.

Like bibs...

Or thumbs...

They are getting more expressive as the days go by too. Laughs and giggles, squeals and coos...and of course screams and cries.

Mixed with looks of really Mom?!

And, You want me to eat what?!

 

Oh goodness. Time is going too fast. I keep thinking we have time for things like a new TV stand that will enclose all those tempting buttons and wires. Or to put covers in all of the outlets. To start them on more than just rice cereal....haha.

Lazy, perhaps a little. Mostly I just can't believe they are that big yet. So excuse me while I sit here in denial for just a little bit longer...because how are they not this little anymore?!
