Life continues....and while nothing BIG has happened, a little of everything continues to happen on a regular basis! Here is a little look at some of our little "everyday" adventures!
Willow is starting to show interest in sitting in the bumbo chair for short periods of time! The other two love this and I think are starting to enjoy Willow as she becomes a little more interactive! She has lots of smiles for them both...even Avery when she's talking LOUDLY in her ear and using her as a pillow! Willow's relaxing attitude is a fairly massive blessing in our house these days!
Try and find Xander in this picture!!! The stuffed animal collection has been growing and growing these days and has become a big part of Xander's night time routine as we usually discover after he's finally asleep. I'm sure its close to an hour of Xander playing and organizing these guys in his room after we leave! Our little house was starting to get a little over-run when they were all over the kitchen/living room floor so today we explained to Xander that he had LOTS and other children didn't have any so maybe we could bring some to MCC for other kids to play with. He did great and we cut the number in half at least...he chose mine and Giles' teddy bears from when we were kids, but we'll get over it and he'll make memories with his own stuffed animals.
On warm days the car wash opens and the water hose is a very entertaining part of the day!
Avery could live outside! She was sick for a couple days last week and still wanted to go outside even though she had no energy to play. I finally lay her down on a blanket and it took about ten seconds for her to fall asleep!
We went up to the cottage with Willow and a few other people from MCI and Giles wanted to get a little raking done and also wanted to give me a break from a baby who didn't want to be put down. This was a solution everyone enjoyed....Willow slept, Giles raked and I probably zoned out for a little bit, I can't quite remember!!!
The water was still FREEZING, but everyone still wanted to try out the sand bar! I think we all made it in a little ways...some further than others!
Avery decided to give Xander a sand bath! A water bath was certainly required that night!
Willow spending a rare few moments outside without being held!!! I'm sure she'll get used to the great outdoors soon...so far it hasn't been her favorite place to be unless she's held!
More fun with sand! Looks like we should start feeding these kids!
If I had to choose a favorite....just kidding...couldn't do it, but its tempting sometimes! Its crazy how life would no longer be life without one of these kids in it. It doesn't matter how frustrating or exhausted a day can be if one of them smiles at me or comes over for a kiss it starts to look up again...even if just for a couple minutes...until the next moment comes along!
