I am trying to be better at documenting what the little guys are up to & when, so here's a start.
Taj is at an awesome age. He is 6, in first grade and maturing so fast. He is the best big brother. He loves to kiss & love on Wren & is always more than happy to help Lotus. Unfortunately he has more energy than he knows what to do with & often ends up making Wren cry rather than smile. He loves to read & is pretty amazing at it. And he is quite the thinker, constantly asking questions and saying things we haven't thought of. Like yesterday when looking at Wren he said, "someday she'll be pregnant." What??
Lotus is her own woman for sure. Whether it be refusing to put on her seat belt after dark because she is sure the policemen are asleep, questioning John Sniff's silly name on Pocahontas, perfecting her stink eye, changing her name to Zianna or emphatically using her own made up swear words (not sure how to parent this one). Several weeks ago she started preschool. Perfect. I never felt the need for Taj to go to preschool, so he didn't, but if ever there was a child that needs it, it is Lotus. It has made her a saint & now she is obsessed with learning everything. And it may be too early to say, but I think her mean stage may have come to an end! Holla!
And Wren. Oh Wren. Our little bird. I had forgotten how happy babies can make you just by existing. She is so eager to laugh & smile. Always watching you expectantly waiting for you to look so she can give you a big cheese. And I do believe she too has passed a stage. Thank goodness the grumpiness is fewer & farther between these days. She has found a new love in her hands & adores sucking them raw & staring at them intently. She is a bit of a wild card in the looks department as her light eyes & red hair remain & she is in the 70% for height & 12% for weight! She also has decided sleeping through the night was just something fun to try, but would rather see us every 3 hours instead. Lucky for her she melts all of our hearts & we forget in an instant.

Denae! I miss you guys! I don't know if I've already posted this, but if met my friend Lauren (and her husband Kyle) at the wedding, she didn't know it at the time, but she was pregnant, too. When I saw that Wren has red hair, I was going to mention how Lauren wants a ginger baby so badly that I worked that into their wedding ceremony. Long story short, she had her daughter yesterday and while she might not have red hair, it's for sure light, so Lauren is hopeful, but the best part? Her name is Dahlia Wren! Ok it's random, but there's a connection there! ha. miss you guys!!
