Okay, I think it is time for an update. Let's start with Molly, because let's face it, she is the fasted changing person in our family right now. Little babies grow up so fast. She is doing really great. She is so happy all the time. She reminds me a lot of Keely was when she was a baby. Not only by her looks but how social she is. Molly has been laughing at people at church, and will smile at anyone who looks at her. She first started to laugh when she was 6 weeks old, and my sister Kelli calls her a tickle me elmo. She weighs 15 pounds and is 25 inches tall. She rolls over from her tummy to her back, just started sitting up, but really likes to be on her stomach to play. She absolutely loves her sisters, and will watch them play all day long. She had clogged duct in her eye, which finally cleared up around 4 months (thank heavens), and she is sleeping 10 hours at night! Wahoo for Molly!
When my mom comes to town, she takes all the babies for her self! I wish she lived closer. :(
Shawn playing pirates with the girls. He's such a tease with them.
Chillin on the couch with dad. It doesn't happen very much with those two. So whenever Shawn has Molly, I try to snap a picture. He probably thinks "Not again..."
Lydia has brought us so much laughter and trying of patience at the same time lately. She is so silly. She went through an episode of peeing on the carpet like 3 times a day. I think it was for attention. And other times she will say the funniest things and be so sweet. She can be very mischeivious too though. She just gets into stuff that clearly she knows she shouldn't be doing. Like the other day, she got into Molly's formula and rice cereal and mixed them both together in a bowl! At what point in her head did she think that that was okay? Just stuff like that she gets into. She is our little singer. She sings so many songs and knows them word for word. She is busy moving from one thing to the next and still changes her clothes all day long. She basically lives in a dress, leotard, ballerina outfit, and if I hadn't hidden the swimsuits that would be her first choice. She is still as smily as ever, her teeth and all. I have been rocking her to sleep lately for her nap times, because she just won't sit still long enough to fall asleep, even though she is so tired. But it has been so nice to sit and cuddle with her in the rocking chair. She is getting so big, I am afraid she won't do that anymore soon.
Here is her one of her regular outfits. A leotard and Keely's boots.
I found Lydia one day reading a book to Molly.
Keely is growing too fast. She is so ready for school to start. She just can't wait for summer to get over with, so she can start Kindergarten. She really is so bored at home, and ALWAYS has to have something to do, which is exhausting at times. She got a bike for her birthday, and she learned how to ride it without training wheels in January. She has made some neighborhood friends that will ride with her up and down the street. She picked it up pretty fast, but her legs that first week was a sight to be seen with all of her bruises from falling. But when she would fall, she would get right back up and try again, and literally say to herself "I just need to practice" I am glad she never gives up on things that are hard.
She trys hard to be nice to Lydia, but they are such different personalities that they butt heads a lot, and they fight quite a bit throughout the day, but it's times like these pictures that I know they love each other.
I had to put this picture on here. We were having a picnic in the backyard one Sunday evening and Shawn kept throwing that ball at Keely, and I got a good action shot. I love the look on her face.
For St. Patricks day our friends the Haslers had a green party. It was a lot of fun. We went to the park and had a green lunch, and played games. Keely was really into St. Patricks day this year, and she was all green. At the end of the party, they did a pie throwing. Well Shawn put a pie in Keely's face. She took it really well, but was super embarrassed and didn't know how to act. She had a lot of fun though.
A couple of weeks ago, my mom and dad went to Roosevelt Lake for my mom's spring break to fish. I thought I would take the girls to visit and spend the day with them on the boat. Ginger came with us, and we had a good day. The girls got to fish on their big pontoon boat, and we soaked up the sun. No fish were caught, but they thought fishing was fun anyway. I personally just enjoy sitting on the boat.
And I don't get a lot of pictures taken of me, so here is me after a work out or something. Still trying to fit into my pre prego jeans. Ugg after having Molly I still have 10 lbs to go! What is wrong with me? It's just frustrating, but I will get there. I think I am doing good with these three girls. Some days are easier than others.
Isn't this picture so cute? Haha just kidding. I put this picture on here, because I had to take a picture of Shawn for his gardening class for school, and also to say that he is graduating on May 3rd! Wahoo for Shawn. I don't know if he can believe that it is only 2 weeks away. I am way excited. He is working hard and we really appreciate and love him.
Ta Ta for now...
