Zeke

Zeke is 5 months old! He is such a big boy! At his 4 month check-up, he weighed in at 19.2 lbs! 99th percentile! I love it! He has 2 older sisters he needs to protect, so he has got to be big! He loves his momma! He is really attached to me, it is pretty sweet (yet challenging at times as well!). He loves to laugh at his sisters, they make him laugh a lot, it is really cute! He has just started reaching out towards people if he wants them to pick him up. He enjoys the exersaucer, but only for about 10 minutes at a time. He screams like a crazy man when he is tired, or if I am not holding him, other than that, he is a pretty content little guy. If he could just be held all the time, I don't know that that boy would ever cry! He is not much of a talker, his sisters would talk and coo like crazy when they were babies, but he is pretty quiet! His Pop noticed that he doesn't blink very much, kind of weird, but it is true! He LOVES to be outside and especially loves to go on walks outside in the stroller. I have tried to start him on baby foods, but he is not very interested. He gets pretty upset when I try to feed them to him. He still hates the car, the crazy man screaming comes in when we are in the car (that should be fun on our road trip to CO next week!). He has one tooth on the bottom and one more coming in! He LOVES water, bath, swimming, drinking, loves it! He is such a sweet little baby, I love him!

Aydia

Aydia is 3 years old! She is goofy! She loves to laugh and make people laugh! She has recently started "making fun" of people...she doesn't know she is doing it, she is just trying to make people laugh! She is very sensitive. She does not like to be in trouble. She is very cautious. She likes to sit on the edge of the pool and gets very nervous if you take her out in the pool...she wants to be brave though. She likes, movies, doing flip overs (summer saults), play dough, painting, drawing, painting her nails, chapstick, picking out her own clothes (she does not like putting them on though and they NEVER match! (I love that!)), and baking with mom! She also likes, talking to Zeke and playing with him, playing outside, splashing in puddles, wearing 2 different shoes, and gum! She is sweet and such a little goofball, I love her!

Here is a picture of me when I was little, and a picture of Aydia!

Riley

Riley is 4 years old! She loves to climb on things, anything...literally, anything and everything. She is very sensitive. She does not like people to be upset with her, or to make people upset. She is a sweetheart. She says she is never going to get married and that she is going to live with us forever. She loves weddings, gum, chocolate, dessert, movies, everything girly (especially dresses and shoes), chapstick, painted nails, and ponytails. Yet, she also loves, dirt, sand, rolly polly's (she even gathered a bunch of them and put them in a little tupperware and had a little rolly polly farm), lizards, and washing the car. She is very helpful. She likes to help with dishes, laundry, and of course, Zeke! She is silly! She makes up her own jokes! She remembers her dreams. She is very, very smart. She loves to swim, she is a little fish. She just started jumping in off the side...she is my adventurous child. I love her!

Pictures Galore!

Wow, I haven't blogged in quite a while! This post is full of pictures and random happenings of the last month of our lives! I think I am due for a personal post for each child, so I will try to get to all 3 of those this week...TRY being the key word here!

Zeke having some rice cereal...didn't like it too much!
