Our two are two!!

We have made it another year with these 2 sweeties and it's amazing to see their feisty little personalities come out more and more each day.
And the words- I swear just this weekend they started talking waaaaaaaayyyyy more.  It's almost so clear sometimes I think it's Luke saying something, then I have to do a double take and it's one of the sisters!!
We just had their 2 year appointment on Monday April 11th - and they are good and right on track!  They were not having the weighing or the shots.  Poor girls!  lots of screaming and tears going on.  But it was a great appointment (despite that) because they are right on track and learning more each day.

Riley Adaline:                                                          Vivian Rose
Weight:  26.2 lbs       42%                                        26.6 lbs              48%
Length:  33.5 inches  28%                                        34 inches           52%
BMI:  16.41               50%                                        16.17                 43%

Mama, baby, where's Luke?  daddy truck, shhh...what's that?   Oh!   So cute to see them exploring the world around them and trying to figure out things.  As of now, Vivian is the daddy's girl.  She will say daddy daddy daddy until he acknowledges her.  Riley is the helpful big sister who will give her things to comfort others.  But at the same time, she's a little emotional and when she doesn't get her way or if you say no to her, she will either go in to the corner or lay down right then and there, suck her thumb and tune you out.  

We had a friends & family party at Wright's Gymnastics place and those kids ran and jumped all around.  Everyone slept well that night.  

Me two!  Me too!


Mmm...cupcakes after tears.

                                                                            Riley!

                                                                          Vivian!

So exciting these last 2 years have been and can't wait to see the future of these girls! Love them more and more each day.     So pretty.  Pretty special, pretty smart, pretty sweet, pretty heart. xoxoxo

Luke is 4!!

Learning and growing each day!!

Luke had his 4 year check up on 02/12/2016
Weight:  36 lbs 12.8 oz  57%
Height:   41 inches         64%
BMI:  15.39                   41%

He grew 3 1/2 inches last year - right on schedule.  And gained 5 lbs.  How funny!!

Dr. Moore said he was a very sweet and smart boy. He was very talkative at the appointment and telling her about his monster truck birthday and that he got hungry, hungry hippos.    We need to get him some swim lessons and a helmet for spring when we start riding a bike.  And we need to get him to branch out and eat some more food.  Some days, he's a bottomless pit, other days hardly eats anything.  He actually had a start / end of a sinus infection, so got him some amoxicillin.  Had no idea! 

The "I love more than anything in the whole wide world"  at random times is great!! The I only want mommy to snuggle is sweet, but also taking a toll.  It's hard to get things done and I don't want him to sleep with me forever, but for now, me sleeping in bed with him until he falls asleep is fine.  I usually then wake up after awhile and go to my bed. But he is the sweetest.  He sleeps with his puppy dog, train blanket, and orange pillow.  And still pull-ups.  Hoping to break out of those sooner rather than later.

He really loves his sisters, though sometimes likes to tease them by taking things from them.  But his little voice of 'sister, will you snuggle with me?' is so darn sweet.  And they LOVE big brother.  Usually when I pick up the girls, Vivian's first thing is "Where's Luke?' and then we get to the van and she's like 'Luke!  There he is!"

We pray for Luke (and sisters) to grow big, strong, happy, and healthy.  And always be humble and kind.
