time is going by way too quickly

i can't believe that it's already more than a week into September.
Lincoln is back in school and loves his new class and new teachers. He's in the pre-k class and is learning about math and science and all sorts of stuff. it's crazy that my boy is big enough to come home and tell me about what he learned about science. of course, it's simple stuff- but still. they also have a marble rewards system like we have at home so that's pretty awesome. it's nice that what we're working on at home is carrying over to school.
Lexi will be 8 weeks old in just 2 days. she has gotten so big. i bet she's 10 lbs now. she's quite rolly. she's smiling a lot and has even started laughing some. scott and i really enjoy our quiet time that we get with her after Lincoln goes to sleep. when he's awake, there's so much going on that Lexi can't seem to focus long enough to give us smiles and laughs. she does tolerate her brother well, though, which is nice since he's not always super gentle!
he looooooves her so much. more and more every day. whenever she's awake, he wants her on a blanket on the floor so he can get down to her level and get a few smiles out of her. she loves her brother, too! she always smiles at him.
i get so happy when she reaches new milestones, but then i instantly get sad when i think about the fact that every milestone she reaches means she's getting bigger and simply growing up too fast. WAH! especially since we're not planning on having any more kids- the little things seems sweeter this go 'round. i think i learned with Lincoln that time does indeed fly by entirely too fast so i'm trying to savor every tiny moment. i'm doing that with him, too. it won't be long before he's "too big" to snuggle with me or to kiss me (heaven forbid an older boy kiss his mommy!)
here are the newest pics of my beautiful children... the one of Lexi was taken just last Friday (9/5) and the one of Lincoln is from Tues (9/2)

he is so silly! he would not pose normally.


she is so beautiful in this picture. she looks so much like her brother, but much more feminine. i love that you can see her eyelashes. ...absolutely gorgeous.
