Ainsley and her Little People putting on a concert! She LOVES her Little People!!!! Aunt Margaret and Ainsley cooking it up in the kitchen! Ainsley is getting less and less cooperative with taking pictures. But I finally got her! HA! Aunt Margaret, It was wonderful to see you! Thanks for all your help with the kids! They all so enjoyed being with you! Especially Ainsley but Brody and Findley told me they did too!! Hope you have a safe trip back. Love you -

Happy Birthday Dad!!!

We celebrated my dad's birthday this past weekend and had a great time getting together! Aunt Margaret was also in town for the party!! Mason working with his legos Who knows what these two are up to???? ;) Findley and Uncle Stephen
Aunt Lisa and Brody - I think this was their second bottle. My babies have never been picky eaters. They will drink their milk in any form or fashion!! Aunt Margaret and Findley Findley and Aunt Lisa This was the crew when we got home. EVERYONE was asleep!!! I couldn't get a good angle for the picture but Ainsley was asleep but still holding Brody's hand and Findley was crashed on the other side. We had a great evening playing!!!

Enjoying the nice weather and testing out her old swing we put out for the boys. Funny faces - entertaining the boys!
A little tummy time. The boys are getting more and more playful everytime they wake up!!! "Look boys just like this, you just hold your head up - you can even use your arms to support you!" A little help from Ainsley!!! Yikes!!! They look so big in these chairs!!! They loved being able to truly sit up without having someones hands all over them! I was suprised at how well they held themselves together!
They loved sitting up on their own - all by themselves - well almost - these chairs are great! Another one of our coping techniques - humor! This had us all rolling - poor boys!!! There is so much more to come!!! Hee hee!! They took their first nap in their big crib after a hard day at play!!! It lasted for 12 minutes! back to the swings they go to sleep a little bit more.

2 month check up

These pictures of the boys in their hats look like they are baby dolls to me!! Their skin so perfect, still, happy - PERFECTION!!! I do like them when they are screaming also ;) Ainsley loves to play "day care" with her brothers. She makes pallets for them with their blankets, pillows and accessories and tends to their every need! Very helpful!!!! I can see it now - in a few years she will have them dressing up with wigs, make up and more to be part of her "plan" while playing!!!! The boys had their 2 month check up today. My mom went with me for back up since they had to have 6 immunizations!!!! One was taken by mouth, then they had one make-up from their one month check-up that they missed b/c Brody was sick and then 4 for their 2 month! YIKES! They did very well though. They always have you read about the side effects and the most common are either fussiness or tiredness. Ainsley seemed to always be extra fussy but these boys......seem to be tired! ALLELUIA!! I had to go to a meeting at Ainsley's school to hear about PRE_K ( Can't believe she will be in Pre-K next year!!!!) and they slept through the whole thing and are still konked out in their car seats!!! I Looked like I had it together!! ;) Well anyway, the boys are gaining good weight and all was good. Brody now weighs 9lbs 3oz and Findley weighs 9lbs! The doctor was happy with this and I am relieved to hear. There is always question when breastfeeding (especially two of them) if they are getting enough and seems that they are. They are also starting to sleep longer at night - on our lucky nights 5 or 6 hours and then another 4 hour stretch! Yahooti!!!
