A Much Needed Update (in progress)

My girls are growing up so quickly. Lily, who turned 4 back in December is full of awesome. She is now reading simple books (stage 1) and is doing K & 1st grade work. A couple of days ago she started tying her shoes all by herself! She's so tall, smart and independent you would never know that she just turned 4 a couple months ago. She had an allergic reaction to her antibiotics again. She is allergic to both penicillin and sulfa. I don't know what we're going to do if she ever gets sick again.

Iris is just as bright, she's just a little bit of crazy. That kid is set on search & destroy. I wish I knew the 'off' switch on her. She's the shortest and fattest of the three right now. She weighs almost as much as Lily but is only a head taller than Rose. She & Rose wear the same size socks!

Rose is almost 7 months already. She's eating solids now (and stealing my food) and has found her voice. She's figured out what kind of sounds (and screams) get her desired effect.
