Two Years

A lot can happen in two years. 

Seriously. A lot. 

Every few months, I feel like the boys make huge leaps ahead in their growth. 

I can handle and survive consistant growing, but those surprising grown-up moments tend to hit me hard. Looking through these pictures, I can see exactly where each growth spurt fell. 

There was one here, between four months and five months:

And here, between 7 and 8 months:

Here, between 11 months and a year:

And then, suddenly, the hugest leap of all, between 16 and 17 months:

And again. Right now. I feel like they're little people to a whole new extent. They don't really look that much taller and older, but they do things that shock me. Like, Micah: eating a hotdog in it's bun. Eating it like a real person! I saw his life flash before my eyes, suddenly he was a second-grader at a baseball game.
Or Grey murmuring under his breath, "Coat, hot." Then unzipping his coat himself and taking it off. I mean... are you a 12 year old or something?

Oh my, how time flies.
