GROWING UP

I love all of my nieces and nephews equally. They're all apart of me and it's been amazing seeing them all grow up. My niece Bianca started high school this year. Before you know it, she'll be shopping for her prom dress. *tear* My nephew Andrew is so big now that before you know it, he'll have his first real crush on a girl. *double tear* Ashley is so girly that her daddy (my brother) is going to have a real hard time when she starts going out....with boys. *gasp!* And my little Erik lost his very first tooth today. There's something so special about watching them all as newborn babies and seeing them grow with each passing year. Erik is so big now. They all are. And it makes me feel...well, older. Diego would have been 10 months on Sunday. How time flies by. I look forward to seeing them all grow up into amazing adults. How I love them so.

Erik and his first "gap." I hope the tooth fairy pays him a visit tonight! :)

My fave toothy time is when kids have two front teeth out. My little brother was so cute when this happened to him! :)

Aww, sweet post!!! I know, it's crazy how fast they grow up, huh? I can't believe in just a couple of months, Dylan will be a year old! He's been with us for nearly a year. I also just realised that if Diego were here today, he'd be about the same age as Dylan..
