More teeth....

So, Seth and Lily now have two teeth each, and Carter still has seven. Therefore, Logan is the only one I let chew on my hand anymore!

The kids are turning into monkeys, I am pretty sure. They are ALL OVER the house. I took the day off yesterday to shampoo the carpets, since they don't spit up as much these days.

The AEA was over working with the kids last week, and she said she was amazed as to how well they are doing. They are totally on the mark for "regular" 9 month old babies, and in some areas, they are ahead of the game! This is a big relief, no doubt.

That's all for now!

Weekend Update

Lily FINALLY cut her first tooth, after like 7 months of teething (or maybe she just cries a lot) last week. And as of my lunch hour today, Seth has his first tooth! It looks like his second won't be long, either. Both are coming from the top, so it does look kinda funny. But next to Carter's 7 teeth, anything will do! :)

Speaking of Carter, he pulls himself up to stand at EVERY opportunity. EVERY one. Logan is really getting around with crawling, too. They are so mobile!

Grandpa La Fleur brought over 4 pumpkins the other day, and we assigned them to each of the babies based on the shape of the pumpkin's likeness to the shape of the baby's head. Uncle Brian had fun helping me. We are not going to carve them, but I am drawing on faces with marker. It worked out alright.

I am off to Spencer this weekend for the high school youth rally, which is going to be a blast. Of course, I will miss my babies dearly!

Have a great weekend!

NICU Reunion

On Saturday, my brother Philip and my mom helped me bring the kids back to Creighton Hospital to attend a NICU reunion. It was great to see the nurses that helped our kids grow and stay healthy! Here is a picture that Philip took before we left his place....it's too bad Carter is blurry, but the way he moves, I don't know how we will ever get any good pictures!! The other picture is their 6 month photo, compliments of Genelli's Studio here in Sioux City. Yes, the kids are ALWAYS in birth order, if I am the one taking the picture!

Steak It!

Carter will be ordering steak soon, as he now has two more teeth! He is up to four now. The others are still gummy, but we know that kids do this stuff at different times.

The kids are doing great...nothing new, except that today they are EIGHT MONTHS OLD! I can't believe it. Man, time flies when you are short of sleep. :)

The kids and I went to my mom's Labor Day weekend for the Hellman Family Reunion. It was great fun. The Hellmans are awesome, and the babies like being the center of attention. My cousin Jodi has a daughter who is about the same age as our kids, and I have already decided that she, Alice, and Lily are going to be best friends. I'll hopefully get to post some of those pictures soon.

Peace out.

Seth is dancing, Lily striking a pose, Logan chewing on his favorite toy, and Carter posing for Gerber.

Carter Crawled!!

Last night, instead of sleeping like he was SUPPOSED to, Carter learned to crawl! He hasn't mastered it yet, but he will soon!!

The kids have been sick all week, and it has not been fun. But they all slept well last night...finally, so maybe we have turned the corner.

We are going to Algona for the weekend for the Hellman Family Reunion. We are excited big time!

It's Pajamma Time!
