Tomorrow Kian turns 4-1/2. Quasi birthdays aren't something that we think about much anymore but for some reason it came to our awareness a week or so ago and we've been counting it down. The first couple years after Kian's birth it seemed like there were always new milestones: every week and every month and every "first" was counted. I blogged it all! But now that the landmarks aren't coming on as thick and fierce as they were its easy to lose track and forget about how much change is still happening. He's growing like a weed and our little chunky monkey looks (and acts) more like a long-armed spider monkey than the chubby little baby gorilla he once was. As slow as the changes come now compared to before it still sneaks up on you: one day you realize they are talking and the next day they are writing sonnets, its crazy.
Okay, once I track down the whereabouts of my camera I will download the few pictures that I have from last weekend. Saturday Kian got to hang in Snoqualmie with the Lutz clan while Daddy nordic skied, then on Sunday we both went up to the Summit to ski and then still made it back down in time for the Superbowl party at the Krebsbach's.
