sickies

I'm sick, Adia has a cough and the twins haven't been acting like themselves either. Daddy's sick too. We just can't seem to get healthy. Hopefully we can kick this soon, but with a lack of sleep, I don't see that happening anytime soon.

DiDi, Adia, the twins and I made a Costco trip on Saturday. Adia loves to check out their toys and hopefully find some gluten free samples. Leia fell asleep and Mira checked everything out.


I bought Adia some gluten free hamburger buns so when we went to Red Robin with Gramma, she got to try one out. She was super excited, but then didn't end up eating much. She did play the scoop game afterward and got some new vampire teeth.




After a rough day with the girls, Adia and I made brownies. She only hangs around to dump in ingredients and eat the batter. I don't blame her, the batter is the best part.


We finally got some more rain and Adia was eager to puddle jump. We had perfect timing because it wasn't raining when we went outside, but there were plenty of puddles. She had a blast, soaking her pants up passed her knees and getting mud all over her shirt and hands. She collected some leaves (which are now bring pressed in a book for a later craft project) and made a boat out of bark.












Adia's been having sleeping issues lately. She'll start off the night in her bed (on occasion), but between 10 and 11, I hear, "Mommy?" There she is, kneeling on her bed, waiting for me. I pick her up and she whispers, "I sleep in your bed mommy." So that's where I set her. She immediately falls back to sleep and usually stays asleep all night. What's been killing me though is her 6am wake ups. It's way too early for her and much too early for me too.

3 months

We took the girls to get portraits taken yesterday and they turned out really well, until Mira decided she was tired and had enough. She started crying and the second Daddy picked her up, she was out. Leia fell asleep in the car, but Adia was a live wire. I wish we could have gotten a better picture of all three together.














The twins turned 3 months today. I can't believe how quickly time is flying. Mira is now 12 lbs 11oz and Leia is 11 lbs 14oz. Mira's already the same weight Adia was at 4 months, but she's definitely shorter. I have a feeling that Leia's still longer than Adia at the same age. I took their pictures with Adia today, even though she wasn't very cooperative.












I gave them some floor time today, including tummy time for both. They both enjoyed it for a long time. I'm amazed at how Leia can get her head off the ground and nearly roll over. She's going to crawl early, I'm sure. Mira was content with just laying on her tummy and eating her hand.






The more pictures I take of Mira, the more I think she looks like Adia. It's the stunning blue eyes and chubby cheeks. Her hair's also getting lighter and reddish.

Adia had some fun with the camera this afternoon too. I'm definitely buying her a kid's digital camera for Christmas.



here's one of the pics she took:

Tonight I had all three girls on my own for bedtime. That was insane. I gave the twins baths, hoping it would calm them down enough to let them sleep, but Mira and Leia wouldn't lay in the pack n play without screaming. I eventually put Leia in the swing and brought Mira with me to read to Adia. That didn't work. Adia ended up falling asleep with her head in my lap on the couch and Mira fell asleep eating. Now everyone's asleep, but I doubt it will last.

Ack!

So many pictures since I last posted. The girls haven't been giving me much time to type and I hate typing one handed.

Adia and I are still gluten free baking. We've made pumpkin muffins and chocolate pink M&M cookies lately. Gramma made Adia a matching apron too so now we both have cow print aprons! Adia loves to match so we had fun with that.




The twins have definitely started to really notice Adia lately. When they see her, you can watch as their faces completely light up. It's the cutest thing. Adia gets so excited too.




Adia's still playing with those binoculars too.


We did some shopping too. I had some things to return to Old Navy and DiDi came with us. Adia had fun with all the sunglasses and the mannequins.




Leia's recently discovered her thumb too. She can easily self soothe herself.


You gotta love baby smiles. I love how interactive they're getting.










I pulled out the bebe pod recently and bought a bumbo today. I can definitely say that the bumbo is the better of the two. I think the girls like it better too.













I wear one twin or the other in the Kozy most of the time so Adia wanted to ride in it too. She's getting close to the weight limit, but surprisingly, it's still not difficult to wear her on the front. She thought it was fun, but then started complaining that it's too tight. She does that every time.


Adia had a fun weekend with DiDi. She spent the night with her on Friday and then hung out with her most of Saturday and Sunday. We went to Toys R Us on Saturday and Adia has fun playing the the Thomas train set. DiDi read her stories before bed and not only did Adia enjoy it, but so did Leia. Afia ended up falling asleep mid-book. She slept in her bed until 5am, which was awesome. I just wish she'd go back to using the potty. She's completely lost interest in that.
