We think....

our babies look alike.

Headshots

It was a long day with these 3 but I took a few cute pictures of them. I need to print them out to look at when they are driving me crazy so I can remember how sweet and cute they can be. This kid loves apples.

I love those brown eyes.

She won't smile looking straight at the camera, she is looking at me while Brandon took the picture. She is looking off to the left though which is progress....physical therapy is already helping. They are a handful, but we love 'em. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.

Apple Eating

This is Kyle's apple. He refuses to rotate it while he eats, just holds one side and eats, sometimes through the middle if we don't stop him. He ate off the bottom part of this one and a few seeds.

Budding Artist

These might be a little hard to see, but these are Evan's latest drawings. We checked out a drawing book from the library that does the step by step pictures on how to draw. So far we have a witch

Frankenstein (with a practice of lowercase g)

and Dracula
I'm no expert but I think they look pretty good for only being 5.

Halloween Costumes

At last, the pictures you've all been waiting for.Grace was not such a happy ladybug. She perked right up when we got the tights off of her. I guess she prefers to just let it all hang out with no control top.

The boys with the pumpkins. From left to right...Gracie's "o" face, the jolly roger, a "mommy" as Evan would say, and some little creature lying in bed being freaked out by an eye in the window.

Not a great picture of Evan, but check out Kyle's ever so happy face in the background.

Our little skeleton pirates.

If only she would've made her face to match.

Pumpkin Patch

Last week we took advantage of one of the nice days and headed out to the pumpkin patch. We were scheduled to go with Evan's preschool later in the week, but decided a family trip would be fun too. There were lots of pumpkins to choose from which had the boys thoroughly confused. They both wanted to find a clean one, but to no avail.

Eventually they found a few that weren't too dirty and decided we could take them home.

We took the pumpkins to the car then decided to pose for a few pictures and finally.....

We took all 3 kids through the 6 acre corn maze. We were told it could take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour and a half, and they said if we got lost we could call them on a cell phone and they would rescue us. With that vote of confidence and a map we headed out (mostly because I have always wanted to do a corn maze).

Lucky for them I was amazing with the map and lucky for us the kids were troopers. Grace didn't cry, Kyle didn't demand to be carried til he fell 6 or 7 times (which took a while), and Evan walked the whole way. It took us about 45 minutes and I loved it.

One last stop for an attempt at a group photo and we were on our way home. Getting pictures of all 3 kids looking decent is tough, but we did all right.

2 Months

Grace is now two months and had her well baby checkup today. She is 24.75 inches, which is just a 1/4 inch shorter than Evan at this age and a full inch taller than Kyle was. She weighed in at 13lbs 2.4 oz (Evan 13lbs 15.9oz, Kyle 13lbs 9.2), so she measures up pretty well with her brothers. She is off the charts for height and 95th percentile for weight and head circumference. Way to go Grace!

Grace doesn't have the dexterity to pull the sunglasses off and she tolerated wearing them for a few photos. SO CUTE! Thanks for the glasses Jamie...sad that they already fit so well.In other news, Grace will be starting physical therapy to treat torticollis, which makes her head crooked due to a shortening of the neck muscles on one side. Gratefully, we've already been doing our own little exercises and seen some marked improvement so the treatment should be minimal.

Evan and Kyle also went for seasonal flu shots today and were totally tough guys. Not one tear shed on either count. After Evan came out with his lollipop, Kyle demanded, "I need a shot too!" Kyle doesn't want to miss out on ANYTHING that Evan is getting.
