Bath Time Fun!

476

Carolyn loves the bath, and loves to splash all over the place even more.

Alexis has been more unsure of the water recently, but has slowly warmed back up to it.

Maxwell clearly loves the water, and loves grabbing whatever toy he has been playing with and taking it back to the room with him.  We rarely have toys left in the bath after the last one.

Aiden loves to kicking and splash!  He gets more water on the floor and on me than anyone else.  He usually is still trying to kick the water when I pull him out.

Slightly *OK VERY* Overdue Post

So I thought I would write a blog post a day last month to show how far the babies have come.  That is so cute of me.  Since I have changed phones, AND had a hard drive die on me.  So let us pretend like I never said I would show each baby on each day.  It just won’t happen.  I’m too ridiculous for it.  I fall asleep on my computer most of the time!

Carolyn is crawling FORWARD!  YAY!  She is still having issues keeping food in her mouth, but she is doing great on level 3.  She likes playing with sheets, and is still doing awesome at nights now.  Hardly ever cries when you put her to bed, but on some days she will start screaming.

Alexis is standing by herself for short periods of time, and trying to walk a little.  She is also very clingy when it comes to me.  She is doing great with all foods and snacks.  She has started shaking her head no when she decides she is done eating and you put the spoon up to her. HAHA  She was afraid of water for about two weeks recently, but that has since resolved itself.

Maxwell is up on his knees sometimes, and army crawling really well!  He also pulls up on toys, but it sometimes causes him to get a bump on the head.  Max is still a silly monkey, but screams like you are chewing off his leg when he doesn’t get what he wants.  He thinks when you call his name while he is crawling into the no baby zone it is a big game and will start crawling even faster.

Aiden is also crawling forward!  He also will get up on his knees and rock, but crawls mostly when something is in sight that he wants.   He is still not eating level chunky three foods as it causes him to gag and then vomit every where.  We’re still trying him slowly, but at this moment he can only have fruits, squash, and sweet potatoes.  He isn’t complaining.  Aiden finally got the go ahead to visit the Allergist, and we are going to have a reflux study done to see if his cough is caused by that.  He has his splints now too!  So he is keeping his thumb out more than like he has them in the above picture.

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.

And this one was taken today…

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!
