As for the twins ... not a whole lot has changed. They are cracking me up or ticking me off, daily. They have reached the "but, why?" age and by the end of the day I really need some ear plugs but they also are really fun to have conversations with! They are very loving with Caroline and love to give her kisses. Sometimes when I ask for a hug or kiss they will calmly let me know that they don't have any hugs left ... but they always seem to have a hug for Caroline.
I was trying to get a good photo of the three but Caroline is pretty wiggly these days! She was trying to escape and the twins thought it was hilarious.
Gotta be charmed by the mutual adoration ...
Mmmmmm .... this grass is super delicious ...
Loving to pick flowers in the yard ... I have to work hard to keep them from picking all the neighbors' flowers!
She looks so little in this photo. She has an appointment in a few weeks so I don't know where she is in the ranks but I can say that she is pretty much wearing 12 month clothes though she is only 8 months old. She is wearing some clothes that the twins have pretty recently grown out of! We are going to Disney in a few months and I am wondering if I can get away with saying they are 2 year old triplets so I can get out of buying tickets for the twins ... ha, ha ... those who know me well know that if I did that I would not be able to sleep for weeks ... too much of a rule follower ...
So proud of herself ... she is still pretty much an army crawler though she pops up on the hands and knees sometimes. She loves to climb over things and under things and she is a CHAMP at pulling up now. This was taken when she first started. The twins did not pull up until they were around 10 months or so and they were really good at it when they started ... really cautious ... Caroline is fearless and she pulls up then just lets go! Then, of course, falls on her face and cries. I wish I could follow her around with a pillow all day but sometimes while I am doing something for the twins she sustains a pretty big bonk and I feel terrible! I guess the second kid will have to learn fast! Just today she was standing up at her play table and it was just me and her and she looked at me ... then down ... then at me ... then down ... and I held out my hand to help her and she didn't take it ... then you could see the "bubble" pop up and in it "I'm just gonna do it" and she plopped down from standing to her side then belly ... just sort-of threw herself down ... and it was like that is just what she meant to do ... so I can see that she is trying to learn how to get down ... which will make my life much easier.
pouting ... and new haircuts ... Hannah's ended up a little shorter than Meredith's. Their hair grows pretty fast so I told her to cut it shorter and it was sooooo short! It took me a while to get used to it ... and now it is growing out some ...
The twins are loving to help us cook! It makes it a lot easier for me to cook these days! I just wait for Caroline to go to bed then pop the twins up on the island and they will sit there and have a snack and watch me for as long as it takes! It is so nice! Seems like just yesterday they would get between me and the counter and push me away from it and cry because they did not want me to cook!
