Sloane and Tess - 5 months old

These sweet girls are growing and learning so quickly. If they are napping and eating regularly they are such happy little creatures. 

Sloane and Tess are getting so good at grabbing things. They see something they want and all their focus turns to grabbing it and putting it in their mouth. 

They like to suck on carrots and everything else they can get their mouths on. 

Sloane can go for a while on her tummy. Tess does well till she gets tired and she rests her head on the floor. You can say her name and she pops up like she was doing something she shouldn't. Hahh hahh!

These two are both the same height. Tess is one lb lighter then Sloane. 

They are both wearing size 3 mo and size 1-2 diaper. 

It's tough keeping booties or shoes on them because they are always moving and kicking. 

If I could spend my days holding and kissing these two it would be heaven on earth. Love them so much!!

Sloane and Tess - 4 months old

These smiley giggle monsters are growing so fast. 

They are starting to grab things and bring to mouth. 

They love to be talked to and to make eye contact. 

They are ticklish with is just so so fun!

I love you Sloane!

I love you Tess!

Lacey - 2 and a half

This beautiful girl is just sooo much fun. Lacey has the best sense of humer. She loves to tease mom, dad and Ava.

She is so good at putting her shoes on. Is getting better at taking her shirts off and still needs work at putting shorts or pants on. 

This girl loves textures and smells. She's always picking up things and smelling them.

She was really good at going to nursery without crying, but then we moved and now it's hard with new teachers and new friends.

Lacey is a good eater, messy at times but will try everything and doesn't mind if it's a bit spicy. Even though when there is something she doesn't want to eat she claims it's "too spicy". It's funny because even a banana can be too spicy. 

Lacey is an awesome swimmer. She has no fear which is a little worrisome.

Lacey is obsessed with the Disney movie Frozen and her pumpkin shirt. She enjoys hot showers and would spend most of her day there if we let her. 

Lacey, we love you to the moon and back and then some!

Sloane and Tess - 3 months old

These girls are growing way to fast! They are both getting not so "newborn floppy". Tess is getting better at tummy time but Sloane has really dominated in this area. She can hold her head up so it's perpendicular to the floor. I've never had a baby be able to do that.

Sloane is showing signs of being ticklish, which is soo fun!

Tess loves to make eye contact and flash you a big smile. It seems she smiles with her whole body!

They are bothe getting better at sleeping through the night. They love their pacifiers but neither are good at keeping it in their mouths. Like their sister Lacey I have to strap it in with a burp cloth.

The week before turning three months I was burping them on my chest, one on each side of me, when they made eye contact with each other. They then took turns smiling at each other, first Tess and then Sloane and then Tess again. I felt so blessed that I got to be a part of that special moment they had together. It was so sweet seeing them communicate to each other through smiles. Gives me encouragement that I'm doing a good job.

These sweet girls are a lot of work but I couldn't imagine life without them. They both have sweet spirits and beautiful faces.

It's so fun to be a mother of twins. It is double the smiles, cuddles and poopy diapers (which only seem to happen about once a week now). I feel so blessed to be a mother to Sloane and Tess. 

Sloane and Tess - 2 months old

These two cuties are both smiling and cooing and spreading happiness wherever they go. They don't go too many places these days though;)

They usually eat two times a night and go right back to sleep now which is wonderful for mom. 

Kicking and squirming with the best of them. We just love these two sweeties

Sloane and Tess - 1 month old

These two are a handful!! But it is all with it!  They have both gained two lbs since birth and are nursing and eating great! They both have the Brown/Braithwaite acne that comes at 4 weeks. Thankfully they are dang cute so it's all good.

Ava at 4 and a half

Ava is growing and learning so fast these days. She loves preschool, her friends, Frozen and most days her sister Lacey. Ava and Lacey are now sharing a room. Ava is very excited to meet her new little sisters (she calls them Sweetie and Polly). 

She loves coloring and "reading" books. She is working on pumping her legs on the swing. Ava is working on her letters by practicing writing and sounds. 

She loves swimming. We are going as a family 3 days a week so she is getting a lot of practice in. She's jumping off the side and swimming to mom/dad and diving down and getting toys off the bottom of the pool. 

She is a BIG help to mom who can no longer bend down. So she's always helping with jobs around the house and helping with Lacey.

Ava loves doing her hair, adding barrettes or different accessories. She loves picking out her own clothes (which is sometimes tough for mom). But she has a style that she preferres to display without moms help. 

The world would be so different with out this beautiful and talented girl in it. I love you Ava!
