Boy Updates

My boys turned 5 and 2 a few months ago (I'm a little late, I know). It is crazy. But even more crazy than their ages is how much they've changed since they've arrived in my arms! Below are their stats and some notes on their progress :)

Owen:
- Has grown 5.5 inches and gained 5 pounds since he arrived almost 17 months ago.
- Learned how to ride a bike without training wheels less than 3 months after he came home.
- Started Early Kindergarten this fall and is LOVING it.
- Is EXTREMELY detail oriented in his questions and drawings.
- Is excellent with little kids. So patient, so gentle.
- Brings EVERYTHING back to God and is a faithful reminder to his mother of how big God is!

Gibson:
- Has grown 7.25 inches and gained 10 pounds since he arrive home 12.5 months ago (he may surpass his brother soon...).
- Is talking up a storm and loosing some of his "baby" words (bittersweet for mom).
- Sleeps on the bottom bunk.
- Has been potty-trained for 6 months, thanks to his big brother's inspiration and grandmother's encouragement.
- Is a bit protective of his mother when it comes to her holding other children. The transition of adding two girls could be a bit interesting...
- LOVES music, especially Coldplay and Ebenezer.

Here's a pic of my boys from Owen's first day of school, which was also just a few days before Gibson's Gotcha Day.
