Alexis

Some days I look at the babies and think GOODNESS how you’ve grown!  I thought it would be fun to look back over at the pictures from when they were born to now.  I’m starting with Alexis, and will try to do a different baby each day this week.

Alexis is the baby of the family.  She crawls circles around the others, and steals all the toys just because she can.  She is sensitive, cuddly, and giggly.  Her smile and laugh can end whatever bad mood has fallen on you.  She now weighs 18lbs 5oz.  She has 4 teeth, and endless energy.  She holds her bottle, but can often be found throwing it to the side to get to whatever toy she has spied.  She doesn’t sit still long so trying to cuddle with her is a chore when she wants to be doing other things.  She will come stand by you and hug you.  She laughs at her brothers and sister when they’re playing, and will stand at the gate and peek over at the tv or whoever is sitting/standing near by.  She loves to jump and sway, and is very cautious about sitting down from standing.  She will stand on whatever or whoever is in the way of where she wants to stand, and forget going around she crawls over babies like they’re speed bumps.  She is a beautiful blessing, and I am so proud to be her momma.

That was then…

So many times we get busy and forget how far we’ve come.  Someone spits up and it’s like whoa that’s disgusting.  We’ve forgotten what it is to live with the vomit forever being spewed.  Someone poops and it’s “aww man you stink…” we’ve forgotten how it is to be pooped ON.

They’re all sitting, and while it’s harder to get everyone to stay still and not crawl off it’s a blessing they are able to frustrate us in this way.  They keep us on our toes *especially Alexis*, we’re always busy, but we’re not on monitors and we’re not counting every single ml they drink.  This is a good place to be.  Thankful and blessed.

 

We tried our baby pool out today.  The dogs have a big baby pool they’ve never touched, and the babies have this small baby pool.  I’m thinking it’s a good thing the dogs haven’t played in the other pool because it will be used by the end of the summer.

The water in the last two pictures is cloudy from the sunscreen you can clearly see on Maxwell.  HA!

Happy 4th of July!

We didn’t take the babies out to the fireworks because it just seemed like a bad idea.  So we celebrated the 4th at home.  :)  Hope yours was as relaxing as ours was…or actually more relaxing.  HA!
