Three Months

Abby turned three months old yesterday. She is the greatest joy to our family. She's started cooing and smiling. She loves her big brothers. She is wearing mostly Newborn clothes, some 0-3 months, but they are still a little big on her. She is in Newborn diapers still. She was around nine or ten pounds when she was weighed on the Wii last night, I think closer to nine, Patrick says she's closer to ten. She is sleeping well at night, she goes at least one six hour stretch without waking to eat. She has started putting herself to sleep for naps, but they tend to be really short! She loves being held and she gets very excited at the sound of her Daddy's voice. She can sit with support really well now and loves to do that and look around. We are seeing some of her personality emerge and it is so exciting to see how God has wired her! Here are some pictures taken yesterday!

Countdown to the Castle

A year ago we were watching a Disney movie and Aiden asked his Daddy if he would take him to see the castle from the Disney logo. Both boys have been asking ever since then to see that castle. We are counting down to our trip to see the castle! We get to spend a week at Disney in June!

Can you tell we are excited???

Springtime Fun

It's Spring! It was in the 70's last week. Our neighbors were wearing sweatshirts, but our boys were running around in a sprinkler!

They got kites for Easter.

This went well until Aiden let go and the kite flew away!

Even Abby enjoyed flying a kite today!

Carrying Abby! It's amazing how much better shape I am in this year than I was last year! I carried all 8 pounds of her for about three of the four miles. Never could have done that last year! So proud of myself!
Photobucket



Even though I am proud of myself, I am even prouder of my boys!!! They both walked the majority of the four miles! Anthony literally ran the first mile and Aiden went three miles before asking for a break!

We did it!!!!

Easter Egg Science

While in Texas Nan and the grandkids embarked on a Quest! They made these beautiful eggs out of sugar.

Photobucket

Everyone, including my beautiful cousin Kristi, got involved in this really cool project!

Aiden's egg had a stuffed bunny inside and bumblebees on top.

Anthony's egg had a stuffed duck and butterflies on top.

Both boys were really proud of their eggs. They were really cool. They attracted ants, sugar ants. This was Not cool with Mom. So, after Easter we did a science experiment!
Photobucket



Anthony kept trying to drink the water. Yuck!
Photobucket



Aiden just kept saying, "look, that's so cool!"

A Quest that was sweet as can be and melted their hearts!
