Easter pictures

Claire, Connor and BIG sister Laney had some Easter pictures taken. I have a feeling getting a good picture of all 3 of them will be quite a challenge the next few years!
Sisters
Claire-my first sewing experience. I made her pillowcase dress to match a handmade one I bought Laney on Etsy.
Connor-Such a little man in his necktie!
Laney girl. Can't believe she is growing up so fast. We just registered her for 1 day a week preschool for next year! She also informs me she wants to do dance instead of gymnastics.

Babies update

The twins are getting big!! At their 2 month appointment Claire weighed 11pounds 2ounces. Connor was 10pounds 15ounces. They were both 22.5 inches long. They got to sit in their bumbos for the first time. I can't believe how quickly they are growing! Connor is SO strong. He can lift himself up with his forearms.
Here is Claire smiling at Daddy.
Not too bad!
Connor wasn't feeling the cuddle picture! Pretty typical of his behavior. He has been so very colicky. We found he was milk soy protein intolerant so he has to be on special formula and is starting to feel better. When he isn't crying he loves to talk and smile.

Claire is her usual laid back self.


Trike time!

Laney has loved the nice weather days when she gets to play outside. Gogo worked with her on her trike. She now peddles all over and had a crash racing Jeff.
This is how Gogo calms two fussy babies. Thank goodness for all her help!
Daddy daughter time. I'm sure Claire will be in on fixing Daddy's hair and putting lipgloss on him very soon!

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!!

Claire is a little camera shy?
Little ConMan. He looks like an old man in his too big pants!
With Abbey and Maddey. Alex didn't come over. It would have been a great picture with all the cousins!

The Twins are 1 MONTH OLD!!

Where has the last month gone?? Connor and Claire are one month old! WOW! They had their check up and Connor weighed 7 pounds 15 ounces. He was 21 inches long and in the 25%tile. Claire weighed 7 pounds 13 ounces and was 20.5 inches long and in the 25%tile too. This explains the fact they are eating us out of the house already! I thought I had until they were teenagers. Laney had her 3 year check up too. Yes, 3 kids at the doctor's...we survived! Laney was in the 90th%tile as she always has been! I'm sure the twins are working on catching up with her!
So big!
Miss Claire is laid back and silly!
Connor, so far, is Mr. High Maintenance. He likes to be held, lay on his tummy and keep his Mom and Dad from getting sleep at night.
Connor playing under his play mat.
Big Sister Laney feeding her brother. She really likes to help out and luckily has not been jealous of the twins. She's been a little emotional and needy but absolutely LOVES her brother and sister! We are so blessed!

First Dentist Visit!!!

Laney had her first visit to the dentist this week. Here she is with her glasses on ready to be cleaned and counted!I was SO proud of Laney. She sat so nice, opened her mouth nice and wide and wasn't scared one bit. Maybe she takes after Mom and LOVES getting her teeth cleaned! That would be much easier to deal with that a kicking, screaming kid who doesn't like the dentist.
Big clean smile! All done!

As always she is excited to get home and cuddle with her brother and sister!

Some more of th beautiful pictures that my friend, Mandy Hall, took. She is a very talented photographer. I'm lucky we've been friends since elementary school and that she is always willing to take some shots of my kids!I put this one in again....I just love how Connor is holding onto the little pea pod. So cute.
