Just thought I'd post some pictures of the kids from the last month or so and give a little update. So let's start w/ the youngest. Here's one of the 1st good smiling pictures of little Tessa.
and here's Tessa the day we got her ears pierced. We love the new earrings! We think she looks so pretty and girly now. She has not been bothered at all by them. The day she got them pierced it seemed quick and easy, she cryed like she does when she gets a shot, but then she calmed down. The lady that pierced her ears said she was the best baby she'd ever seen. She was amazed at how good she did.
I think Tessa might be our first thumbsucker. That girl just constantly wants to suck on something. Even right after she's been fed, and she makes it clear she doesn't want food she wants a pacifier or her hand...and now she has found her thumb. In some ways it's very cute to see her suck on her thumb and go to sleep all on her own. It's nice that she can self soothe, but it other ways we don't like it b/c a pacifier is much easier to get rid of later on than a thumb sucking habit. So we'll see if it continues...
One more thing about Tessa. She has been getting lots of floor time for awhile, and last month she started rolling over. She can roll every which way and she goes all around the floor. There's no use even putting a blanket down anymore (I still do most of the time though) b/c she just rolls right off of it. I'm proud of her b/c I think this might be a little early.
Ok, now you now Adalynn started walking almost 2 months ago now. Well, that first month was pretty rocky. She took her share of spills, and in that first month she had so many scrapes and bruises and bloody lips. I think she had 3 bloody lips in one month! It scared me so bad every time, too. When I'd see her fall and look at her and see blood in her mouth. Eww, not good. I'd worry every time that she had done worse than just a bloody lip. Anyway, here's a picture of her. Poor girl, notice the bruise on her forehead, the scrape on her chin, and her top lip is swollen. There was a little bump on the other side of her face that you can't see, too.
Thankfully now she's recovered. I took this next picture just today. I thought she looked so cute in this little jacket/shirt. I love it! And I have my sister-in-law to thank for it (it's a hand-me-down, I love hand me downs)
Adalynn is at such a fun stage! I think 18mo- 2 is one of my favorite stages! She is so cute and funny. She's saying new words all the time, and she does these funny little things that she knows will make us laugh just to see our reaction. She's a little show off sometimes. But we just love her personality. We love to see her dance and laugh and talk. Sometimes Will speakes her language and they will talk to each other back and forth just making up words and copying e/o. It is so cute.
Will is so funny. This is a picture I've been thinking about posting for awhile. I just had to laugh when he did this!
First of all, he filled his drum, the pumpkin, and a gift bag w/ a bunch of stuff then he grabbed them all plus a roll of duct tape (HAHA) and he held them all while riding his car, oh yeah, and add to that the hat and the party thing in his mouth. Oh where does he get his ideas?! It was so funny to see him carrying every possible thing he could with that thing in his mouth while driving his car.
Doesn't Will look like his Daddy here? I think it's the curly hair. So, Will doesn't normally have curly hair, but lately he's been wanting to wear this Santa hat all around the house, and when he takes it off his hair looks like that. I'm hoping that maybe someday he'll have curly hair like his Daddy. Billy's didn't get curly till he was 13.
Well, that's it for today.
