Noisy Kid

First I have to get this off my chest - THE NEW BLOGGER STINKS BIG TIME!!!!! It took me at least 5 times longer to do this post than previous ones I have done. New is NOT ALWAYS BETTER!! and in this case is much worse! I have to go with Ron on that one. Just another way for the 12th and 13th richest people in the world to monopolize more $$ into their hands

OK sorry about that.

Here's Olivia relaxin' in her basket

















Sophie likes her's too!















Evie doesn't seem too sure

















Now for the noisy kid part. See if you can figure out who or what is going on here. Sorry about no real video but it was dark






And this one is just for fun. They seem to be getting more "giggly" (when we keep them doped up on Tylenol so their mouths aren't sore)

1/2 a Year!!

The girls reached 1/2 year on Tuesday. They are doing so good! Well, they are kinda being turds lately with sore mouths and not sleeping when mom thinks they should, during the day, but as a whole they are on track.



At the Dr on Monday for 6 mo. check up and shots. Only 3 shots this time but it was still quite loud. It was right during nap time and ran into feeding so they were tired, hungry and sore!



Here's the gang in their "Valentine's Day" outfits.













Olivia @ 24-1/2", 15lb, 11 oz.














Evie, the bruiser of the bunch, @ 25-1/4", 17lb, 7 oz. With a head that is in the 90th percentile. I don't know how she holds it up! I guess it is because she doesn't seem to have a neck.














And Sohpie, the tiny one, @ 25", 15lb 1 oz.















And, for Ron. A gun. I almost bought one of these for them, on Monday, but I couldn't bring myself to pay $100 for a piece of junk just because it was pink.

More Escapades

Last week Thursday all the grandkids were at Mom and Dad P's house for a birthday party. We somehow managed to get a picture with all six looking at once. From the left, Ella, Evie, Olivia, Rylee, Sophie and Carter. Rylee was born the day before Stacey went into the hospital for bedrest.



Evie found another new way to sleep. Not only does she like to press her face against the crib bumper but now she likes to stick her arm under it as well. More danger??



Olivia found some new stuff to get into. Saturday I was in another room when I heard some "clanking". When I got over there she was playing with that candle. By the time I got the camera out she was on to the books. I think she is going to be the busy one.

Just having fun

Olivia has seemed to learn that she can get places by rolling over and over.



Here she has found her sister Evie's "smoke medicine" machine. She started pulling out the hoses and playing with them. You'll have to ask Chelle where the term "smoke medicine" came from but I'll give you a hint. It has something to do with a "rarely clothed" boy.



We've noticed that the girls are seeming to recognize each other and will interact a bit. Here's a video of Evie and Sophie with some prompting by mom.





They are really starting to like baths too. We can't wait 'til we can just put them in the big tub all together and leave them be.

"Date Night"

Once again we were out of formula and a bunch of other things so we had a "typical" date night. Some nice people come over and watch the girls and we go out to dinner and shopping. This past Friday Gary, the tool man, and Julie Theule watced the girls. They had twins about 22 years ago so they are pros at this sort of thing.



They arrived right at "snack time" so we left them to feed the girls some cereal and a small bottle. They love the cereal. Especially when we mix it with some fruit baby food. They are eating some sort of vegetable with their lunch now too. Lately it has been sweet peas. They look and smell rotten but they seem to like them!

So we went to Sam's club and bought another carton of formula - six huge cans of store brand formula that last us a little over 4 days each. We ended up hitting 4 stores Friday including getting groceries.

We can't complain too much though because the two weekends prior we actually went out with friends. Thanks to all those who help out by watching our girls!

For Ron, my first ever run at Footstock which, to my great luck, happened to be against, then reigning champ, Chris Van Zeeland
