Honk Honk

Gracie has this new game that she likes to play. She honks her nose and then laughs. It is quite funny. She also likes to honk your nose and then will laugh hysterically, which of course makes us laugh.




The First Attempt at Climbing Mt. Crib


Well, we thought Jaxen would be the first to try and climb out of his crib. But it was Joshua. We didn't get him up from his nap soon enough. Even with the mattress lowered almost all the way, he climbed out just enough to get over the side, then fell the rest of the way. It scared me to death to hear the thud when he hit the floor. When I went in he was screaming, but not crying and then smiled when we saw him. I checked for bumps and bruises but luckily there were none. Needless to say, I made Ryan lower the crib as low as it would go, so hopefully he can't climb out again. (I'm not ready for him to switch to a toddler bed.)

Snuggle Puppy, I love you!







Gracie and Dafunny have struck up a love-love relationship. They love to sit by each other. When Gracie gets a little rough with her Dafunny will let her know, then she will scoot into her and cuddle up again. It is the cutest thing.

Kiss Me I'm Cute!




Here is Rachel at exactly 2 months old, and as her shirt says "Kiss me I'm cute." She has been a very good baby. She loves her bouncy seat and will sit in it and sleep in it for hours. It has been so nice.

All About Rachel



Rachel had her two month check up today. She weighed in at 10 lbs 12 oz and is 22 inches long. Her head circumference was only in the 50th percentile though, so it is not quite as big as the others (Gracie's is always off the charts). She had to have three shots plus one oral vaccine, which she was not very happy about. She is now cooing, smiling and only wants to be held when her eyes are open. Luckily she sleeps 6-10 hrs per night so we are almost getting a full nights sleep. Unfortunately, when she doesn't wake up at night one of the other four does. Why I don't know, but I suspect that will happen for atleast 5-18 more years. Well we wish you all well. Enjoy the new postings.

Rachel's Blessing Day



Rachel's blessing was very nice. We had family and friends over for dinner on Saturday (Zach's family, Mariah's family, Andrew's family and the Smedleys), and then had her big day on Sunday. She was very cute and was a very good baby. The other kids enjoyed having their cousins and friends around to play with.

Sleepy Heads!

We had to wake the triplets up from a nap to head out on the town, and this is what we found. Aren't they cute?
