THREE YEARS OLD!

This past Sunday, December 1st...my baby turned THREE!

 

Can you believe it?  I cant!

 

I cried a few times.  Once as I was putting him to bed on his last night as a two year old, then when he got on his big boy bike he got for his bday and finally when my Time Hop app popped up and I saw the pics from the past 3 years and a few fb post that I honestly feel I just posted days ago!

 

I am not sure how time can move so quickly.  Each day he wakes up and does something or says something that just reassures me that he is in fact becoming a big boy!

 

Parker at three...

 

• You are absolutely hilarious!  You are always being goofy and doing what you can to put a smiles on others face
• You are so tender hearted and can get your feelings hurt easily.  You are so caring of others feelings and get upset when you see others upset or hurting
• You are so stubborn!!  You know what you want and how you want it.  Whether that be with food, clothes or how we play with your toys...its your way!  It drives me insane at times but I love that you know what you want!
• You became a big brother and you are the best big brother in the world.  I was so scared about how having your sisters would affect you.  One is a big change, but two is HUGE!  You just rolled with it and love them so much!  There are times where I can tell you get aggravated but you have been such a champ!
• You LOVE trains, planes, trucks and dinosaurs.
• Your favorite things to do are going to the park, riding your scooter, playing outside, doing puzzles and going to school
• You are still the pickiest eater.  We have added a few things to your menu over the past year but not many.  Hoping when your sisters start to eat you decide it may be a good time for you too!
• You are potty trained.  We decided to give it a try after your sisters came and you nailed it!  3 days and you were good to go in your big boy undies!!  So proud...I feared potty training!
• You are starting to ask to dress yourself.  The outfits you put together can be pretty interesting!

 

We love you so much sweet boy and are so proud of the big boy you are becoming!  We love watching you learn and grow everyday and we love that you keep smiles on our faces even in the times where you drive us crazy!!!

 



 

It's hard being three!!!

 

 

 

5 months...almost a week late!

Our sweet little angels turned 5 months old the day before Thanksgiving!!

That means in one short month they will be half way to a year.

 

They were right when they said it goes by so much faster the second time around and I really believe that having twins makes it go by even faster!!

 

Feeling like a major mom fail for this late post but our Thanksgiving was so busy, with me hosting 21 family member and housing 12 of them not including my 5...it was a wee bit cray cray to say the least! 

 

The girls are doing more and more each day!  They are so much fun and it is getting to a point where Parker is having so much fun watching them now too!  He loves when they laugh and babble on and on!  He talks baby to them (copying me) and is so sweet.  It melts my heart!

 

Here is what our little ladies have been up to:

 

Reese:

• constantly rolling over and scooting around on her belly and back
• loves being on her tummy and playing with everything on her mat.  she loves grabbing at everything
• she is teething.  no pearly whites in site just yet but constantly chewing on her hands/fingers, drooling up a storm and has bouts of fussy ness recently that I believe to be due to teeth.  We were gifted amber necklaces from my cousin and are trying them out to see how they help
• babbling up a storm
• laughing all the time.  my cousins husband had her belly laughing this past week to the point where tears were coming from her eyes.  I had never seen anything like it.  (will try to post video)
• wearing 0-3 month and still a few newborn items
• just moved to size two diapers
• she is now going to physical therapy once every other week for the torticollis.  We had seen great improvement but today at therapy she was very tight so we are continuing to work hard!
• loves being in the jumperoo
• celebrated her first Thanksgiving
• had rice cereal for the first time.  really didn't seem to mind it.

 

Morgan:

 

 

 

• Miss Morgan rolls over when she feels like it.  I think she realized rolling over meant she would result in her doing more than her normal time of tummy time so she avoids it.  She still is not a fan of that! 
• She scoots everywhere on her back.  Lay her on the mat, leave the room and I come back and her feet are where her head was!
• she is teething.  no pearly whites in site just yet but constantly chewing on her hands/fingers, drooling up a storm and has bouts of fussy ness recently that I believe to be due to teeth.  We were gifted amber necklaces from my cousin and are trying them out to see how they help
• babbling up a storm
• she is always all smiles and has the sweetest quiet little laugh!  She thinks her daddy is the funniest guy ever!  He always gets the best giggles out of her!
• wearing 0-3 month and still a few newborn items
• just moved to size two diapers
• loves being in the jumperoo
• celebrated her first Thanksgiving
• had rice cereal for the first time.  did great with it!  I cannot believe we will be starting baby foods soon...time to get my recipes out!!

 

Now hopefully today I can get those 5 months pics taken!!!
