Everyone is Growing SO fast!!

I have fallen behind again!! Time gets away from me quick with all these Little People in the house. ;) Hudson and Steel just turned 7 months old on March 21st. I still feel like they are such little tiny babies but they are both almost 20 pounders!! They are starting to be more and more aware of each other laughing and squealing at each other. I love that they grab onto each other and hold hands sometimes. They both seem to get a kick out of Jaaten always buzzing around here with her dinosaurs and ponies acting like a Wild Woman. They watch her run back and forth in the greatroom like they are watching a tennis match. ;) I took these pictures after their bath yesterday.





A few of you have asked to see pictures of the kids' rooms. A huge THANK YOU to my parents for helping me get their rooms together. Grammy has gotten really good at making these super cute memory boards. And Papa, well he hangs everything for me and just about anything else he can do when the Wild Child isn't dragging him around. ;)











Jaafe brought home a baby calf that lost his mama. Jaafe has to feed him bottles of milk every morning and evening. Jaaten really likes going outside with Jaafe so she has loved this. I can't say she's loves actually feeding the calf but she's up for anything that lets her wear these rain boots and will get her dirty. ;) Jaaten named the calf Barney!?!









Jaafe made Kettle Corn tonight which Jaaten loved. Jaaten ate popcorn with Papa once so of course she immediately said, "Papa's corn?" HA! She had to have her own bowl while she played on the iPad.

TONS of Pics - Catch Up Post - AGAIN!

Hudson, Steel and Jaaten are all growing so fast now and changing every day. Great time for me to NOT keep new pictures on the blog, huh?!? I must have 30 pictures here! We have made progress in the Kellis House though. Both boys still sleep in mini cribs in our room BUT Hudson sleeps through the night (for about 6 weeks now) and Steel only gets up once (around 2a) and usually goes right back to sleep. Far from where we were.... Jaaten HOWEVER is talking more and more and cute as could be but I swear this is payback to me. What an ornery Little Gal!

This is Hudson after a Dr. appointment. Hudson has been following up with the Pulmonologist just to make sure his lings are good to go. We no longer keep the Apnea monitor on Hudson. I had become somewhat dependent on the monitor so surprisingly it was not hard to give up. ;)

Steel FINALLY started laughing. The twins torture me because even though I am told time after time NOT to compare them to each other as they develop, I DO!! Hudson starting smiling weeks before Steel so I worried myself to near insanity....for nothing!

This was a funny day! This was the first time the boys really looked at each other with intent. You could tell their wheels were turning looking at each other. They were EACH probably thinking "Oh, you are the reason I have to wait all the time. She's always helping YOU first!"

Ha! The first time in the bumbos was funny too. Hudson & Steel looked like 2 old men having a conversation. ;)

We do a lot of feeding babies around here. A lot of times someone is upset but this time went smooth. ;)

Some days Jaaten will absolutely run herself ragged trying to avoid a nap. This was a day Jaaten could BARELY keep her eyes open long enough to eat the pizza I made her for lunch...

She finally gave in...right on the counter!

Jaaten in Gameroom 2.2.12

Papa has a constant shadow when he is here. Jaaten doesn't get far from her Papa and if she does it is not long before we hear, "Papa, where are you? Papa, where are you?" Over and over and over...until he is found. ;) There was no exception when we got the new TV for the gameroom. Jaaten wanted to "help" him the whole time...





Abbey bought the boys these cute Vans...

Abbey dresses these little guys in something besides a sleeper whenever she can! Steel 2.5.12

Jaaten LOVES to take Grammy's glasses anytime they are left sitting around.
