Less Than 3 Weeks

In less than 3 weeks, we'll be in our new house and have a new baby girl! There is even a possibility of closing on both houses at the end of this week, but that's iffy since it's only a 4 day week. Just in case though, we've been busily packing the last of the boxes and sending them over to storage while Luke is visiting my parents at the lake. It feels so easy having one child here when you're used to having 2. I guess soon we'll say that having two feels like cake compared to having 3.

I've been seeing newborn babies everywhere we go which is getting me more excited to meet our little girl! We've narrowed the name pool, but we may do what we did with Gabe and make the final decision after meeting her.

Luke started preschool last week and did a wonderful job! He quickly started making friends and they had a birthday celebration on Thursday which is all he's been talking about. Luke is fiercely independent and wanted to go to school by himself on Tuesday, but it was orientation day so mommy had to go with him. He definitely doesn't have separation issues.

Gabe's intellectual growth this past month has been amazing. It always surprises me how quickly their language skills develop. He's gone from a few words and lots of pointing at the beginning of summer to more words than I've been able to keep track of. His newest development is pointing to and naming objects in books or asking what it is if he doesn't know the name. He also finally has two teeth on the bottom that are actually poking through enough to see. It seems as though he's starting to get a few more as well.
