I may be biased, but our babies are so cute! I found it easier yesterday to update the pictures than to write a blog entry. But as I was going through all the pics, I remembered how fun our past couple of weeks has been... fun but very busy!
The baptisms on Mother's Day went very well... kinda. The boys did great during church and the baptisms were after mass. They started out good, but then Alex started getting a little fussy. I tried to keep him entertained, but he was just so tired. Everyone did well with the water on their heads. Sydney looked a little concerned at first, but came out smiling. Nick jerked his head at the last minute and got it in his face (which didn't make him happy) but the other two just kinda laughed. They all like to take baths, so I wasn't too worried. Unfortunately, the tired/fussy thing became contagious. It was nap time after all. So instead of getting some good family pictures with the boys and their godparents, etc., we packed up and headed over to my mom's house for a potluck. Mom and Dad and Brandon had put up the tent for us to eat under. Of course, Mother Nature wasn't having a happy Mother's Day in Decatur. We got to the house and the tent had blown over (it lasted all night and was fine when they left for church). We moved everything into the garage and everyone (I hope) had a good time. Sydney changed out of her cute dress and put on a new shirt announcing that she is a Big Sister! Angela is due right around Christmas.
Adam's sister, April, and her husband, Jon, came back for the baptism. While they were here, they got to spend some time with the boys. I think it was Jon's first time feeding a baby, but he did very well.
The boys are getting better at moving to wherever they want to go. They're still rolling or scooting, no crawling yet. They are also getting much better at sitting up by themselves. Nick has been able to for a while and sits up for a long time. He prefers this to laying down, although he also likes you to give him his toys so he doesn't have to reach too far. Alex just started this weekend to sit up for longer periods by himself. Logan isn't far behind, but he likes to fall back onto you - he thinks it a game! It's so awesome to hear them laugh! Not just giggle, but gut-busting laughing.
I am happy to report that they are eating much better than in the beginning. I can't say that they have any real favorites. They'll eat anything. They may make a horrible face for the first few bites, but then they just open up and gobble down. Alex still prefers the bottle first (because he can eat it faster - there is no "too fast" for Alex). Logan still prefers food to the bottle. Nick could go either way depending on the day. We have been through all the 1st foods and are about to move onto the next stage. We tried pear juice a week or so ago from sippy cups. Didn't go so well - no one was interested. We'll try again later.
The boys love to be outside - at least for now when it's not too hot. They enjoy going for walks around the neighborhood. They also really like the swings at the park. There is a small park a block away. It will be very nice when they're older. Now they mainly just swing. We can put two in one swing - back to back. I bought a baby swing for our swing set at the Mothers of Multiples garage sale this spring. I finally put it up this weekend. It is a single swing (so we have to take turns), but they really enjoy it. I need to find one that fits two babies and we'll be set! We did find that they have mommy's fair skin. Keep them out too long and their pasty white skin turns a bright red!
Okay... I gotta go and get Adam something for his birthday/father's day. Don't forget to enjoy the new pics :)
