Pictures!

Things have been a bit hectic around here! Getting used to having three children has been somewhat of a challenge - as you can see by the state of our living room by the end of the day!

The kids are adjusting nicely to each other. I think Hannah and Sarah have had the most difficult time - Sarah mainly with jealousy of Hannah. She is allowing Hannah to give her hugs occasionally now.
She can walk! Well, she can take steps and is doing a pretty good job of it. She would do a bit better if her confidence was a bit higher but we are pretty excited that she is doing so well! She still prefers to hold on to Mommy or Daddy's finger in a death grip and go full force. She has also perfected a little scoot to get her where she wants to go. It is pretty easy - sit on your bottom and use your legs to pull yourself across the floor. I think we are going to skip crawling altogether because she has figured out how to roll in both directions and has even gotten herself to a sitting position a time or two. The heiny-scoot is a quick and easy way to get into trouble. We've had to move the dogs dishes and start closing the doors to keep her safe. We may have to break out the baby gates in a few days.
Our Princess Hannah.

Hannah has become a real little mommy. She has been bringing "Squash" (yes, that is her baby's name!) to the table so she can feed her like Mommy feeds Sarah. We put the baby high chair on a kitchen chair so it is the right height and have "food" for her and everything.


Sarah likes peek-a-boo.




We signed the older two up for swimming lessons starting next month - Hannah isn't too sure she wants to do more than put her mouth in the water and blow bubbles but with Sarah not being afraid of the water we figured it was about time Hannah learned to swim a little more.



Sarah has discovered that she loves ice pops! We have to make sure we don't give it to her if we have to be somewhere afterwards because we end up with a tinted baby. These ice pops must have a lot of color in them because a simple wipe down doesn't cut it - a full bath (or two) gets it off.

I can't believe she skipped the crawling stage... I can't wait to see the kids! I miss them lots!
