While we were driving Ellie was singing all sorts of Christmas songs so I caught Jingle Bells on video with my phone. Then Kate needed to sing for me as well, but she chose to sing the ABCs. I love that LMNOP to Kate is "I'm a little pea" :) The third video is just the girls playing doctor together. They love to play house, school, doctor, grocery store, etc.<br />

My fun, silly, sweet, girlies are 3 years old! I cannot believe how they have transformed into little people all of a sudden. The things they say crack me up. Kate and Ellie have finally accepted that they are twins and will be together a lot, so they may as well get along. In the last 6 months they have really started to play and pretend together so much more. I love seeing their friendship grow, and most of the time when you ask them they will say they are eachothers' best friend. One time that I wish they would play together less is nap and bedtime. Ellie and Kate are still in their cribs and never try to climb out, so we are in no hurry to switch to big girl beds. While they are in their room together they spends hours playing, talking, singing, and tossing their babies and stuffed animals back and forth. Tonight I was watching them on the monitor and they were playing picnic and trying to spread a blanket across their two beds to make a table. They didn't settle down and get quiet until 10:45! I am so glad that they are becoming so close, but they still could not be more different. Here is a little bit about each of my twins.<br />

<u>Ellie</u><br />
Is almost 2 inches and 2 pounds bigger that Kate right now and wear a half size bigger in shoes. She is my quiet, serious, polite little girl. She loves puzzles, books, helping mommy, and Max and Ruby. Ellie is so smart, she can spell her name and knows all 26 letters and most of the sounds they make. She has memorized at least 10 of her favorite books and can 'read' them to us word for word. She loves her white (now a dingy greyish) bunny. His name is Bun and he goes pretty much everywhere and sleeps with her. In the past few weeks she has started telling me she want to be a Daddy when she grows up. But she says she will be a beautiful Daddy who is a girl. She also refers to herself as Bun's daddy. I realize it is a little odd, but she LOVES Todd so much, that is makes since to me.<br />

<br />
<u>Kate</u><br />
Is my spunky, loud, sweet, spirited little girl. She loves to test all rules and see what she can get away with. She is FULL of questions and is always asking why? Why that man wearing a hat? Why are Layla's eyes brown? Why does the mail man have a pony tail? Why is that truck green? Why, why, why!? Can you tell it makes me a little crazy sometimes? :) She is also quite chatty and will ask anyone what their name is. Kate LOVES babies. She has about 40 baby dolls ranging from 2 inches tall to two feet tall. When she wants to be, she is very sweet and nurturing. She will kiss your boo-boos to make them better or cover you with a blankie if you don't feel well. Kate still likes to be held and snuggled a lot and needs several blankies while sitting on the couch or in bed. She loves her little brother and generally plays so sweetly with him. She will show him how to do things, read books to him, offer her hand to help him climb up on the couch. <br />

We had a great time! We haven't used a stroller in a while, but we thought it would be a good idea to bring the Bob. They had the opposite reaction to what they used to. Everyone wanted to ride! We had to take turns and I think Jack did most of the walking while his two big sisters just sat back and let Dad push them :) <br />

I love Tiny Prints and used them for my babies' birth announcements and holiday cards in the past, so I was thrilled about this offer.<br />
It is getting to be holiday season again and I have started the hunt for the perfect christmas card to send out this year and found myself back at the <a href="http://www.tinyprints.com/holidays/cards-invitations.htm" target="_blank">Tiny Prints</a> website. They have so many beautiful options, I am going to have a hard time narrowing it down. I love the tri-folds because you can use a bunch of pictures, but I also like the ornament cards because far away family members can hang it on their tree :) Here are a few that I like, but you have to go look for yourself. There are tons to choose from!!<br />

<br />
My little Jack is growing up! Everyday he surprises me with his silly little personality. He has become a little more mischievious recently, but is still the sweetest boy I know. Through out the day he randomly comes over to hug me or snuggle up in my lap, he says 'I love you' when I put him in bed or when Todd leaves for work, he is just a sweetheart! Jack is also starting to get a lot better and speaking in sentences and phrases. Just tonight he told me, "No, I don't like milk" because he wanted me to put juice in his cup :) In the last few months Ellie, Kate, and Jack have all started playing together more and more. I never thought this day would come, for the longest time they just seemed to prefer doing their own things, and struggled with sharing and being kind to one another. I am super excited to watch as they grow, learn, and play together. They were playing doctor yesterday for at least 20 minutes. Each of them would take a turn being the patient while the other two checked their ears, heart, and eyes. Todd was home too and we just smiled to eachother as we watched them. Some of Jack's favorite things these days are coloring, dogs, unfortunately his paci, his blankie and dog lovey, grapes, strawberries, yogurt covered raisins, cookies, being outside, singing, swinging, and super why.<br />

Jack is a bit of a ham when we are out places and the doctor's office is no exception. He greet everyone, always smiling and saying hi! When Dr. Burns was checking him out he just calmly sat on my lap and let her check everything out. Never fussed once, Dr. Burns actually said it was the easiest 18 month check up she had done in years. Then it was time for the shots. He got two in one leg and one in the other and cried quite a bit :( But when the nurse who gave him the shots was leaving the room he sucked up his tears enough to say bye bye to her and blow her a kiss! Is that forgiveness or what?! <br />
Here are Jack's 18 Month Stats:<br />
Hieght: 33in (75%)<br />

This is kind of a big birthday and Todd and I talked about taking a trip to celebrate, but I was just not ready to go on a trip and leave the kids. I go back and forth between feeling 25 and 45. Somedays I am tried, feel frumpy, and notice wrinkles forming on my face while other times (mostly when I am kid-free) I think of myself as that cute mid-twenties kindergatern teacher who was always up for a happy hour. I guess this is what it feels like to be 30?<br />
<br />
So in my actual birthday some of my sweet friends had a Mommy's birthday party playdate for me. Todd took the girls to the dollar store and had them pick out a gift for me and they wrapped it. We went over to Corrie's house and she had set up a whole little party for me! The kids decorated party hats and cupcakes, we sang and blew out candles, and then we opened all of my fun and fancy gifts :) It was so fun and the girls really loved that mommy had a birthday party. Amanda took some great pictures and I am so glad I have them to remember this day.<br />

We also had an adult celebration. Todd planned a dinner and invited our friends. We had a great time eating, drinking, and chatting. He aslo a booked a hotel for the night while his parents stayed with Ellie, Kate and Jack. It was glorious to sleep in until 10am!! All in all it was a great birthday and I felt very loved :)<br />

It was their first day of school! Ellie and Kate attended last year on Tuesdays and this year all three kids are going on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I had been talking a lot about going back to school and the girls would give me mixed responses. Sometimes they would seem excited about it and other times not so much. Ellie asked me one day if I could "grow smaller, into a little girl, and come to school with her". It was so sweet that it made me wish I could :) Jack is a whole different story though. I have never left him anywhere before and he is my sweet little mommy's boy, so I knew it would be difficult. He has recently started to clasp his arms around my neck and squeeze me, pushing his cheek against mine. While this is the best feeling in the whole world, I knew prying him off of me would be gut wrenching. :(<br />
Here are the pictures from their first day:<br />

Kate and Ellie's teachers said that they did great. Kate cried a little and needed her blankie and her baby, but they both participated in class. And when I ask them about their day, they both had positive responses. Jack's teacher said he was happy and social.... as long as he was being held. There are 3 teachers in Jack's class and apparently he bonded to the main teacher and fussed most of the day unless she was holding him. When I picked him up at the end of the day, he squeezed me tighter than ever before and practically climbed up my legs into my arms, saying mommy over and over again. He was literally, physically attached to me until bedtime Tuesday night. We have a serious Mama's boy on our hands!<br />

After school Tuesday was another big first for the girls. Ellie and Kate's first dance class! I think I was more excited than they were. I was in dance and ballet from the the age of 3 until middle school and loved it. I am so excited to share this experience with them. They looked like such big girls all dressed up in their 'ballerina costumes' as they call them :) It was pretty much as I expected. Ellie cried unless I was in the room and Kate danced around like she owned the place! When they first went into to start class, Kate walked right in and said, "we need some music!" By the end of the class both of them were participating in some way, so I think it was a success!<br />

Kate:<br />
~When Jack first started getting good at walking, one day Kate exclaimed, "Look, Jack is walking! He's so proud of us!" Meaning that we are so proud of him :)<br />
~Kate asked me what color her baby was and I told her she is peach. She now reffers to this baby as "Peaches"<br />
~Everytime I ask Kate not to do something naughty her reply is " Yes, I DO want to make a mess" or "Yes, I DO want to jump on the couch" Like I don't understand that she really wants to do whatever it is.<br />

Ellie:<br />
~She spilled some milk on her stuffed monkey and said "Oh, dear. Now monkey is ruined." She sounded like a sad little old lady. She has since used "Oh, dear" when accidents happen, cracks me up!<br />
~Todd was trying to get the kids to coming inside one evening and he told them to hurry so the mosquitos wouldn't bite them. Now Ellie warns everyone who goes into our backyard that they should hurry back inside so the 'beetos' won't get you.<br />
~I had the house door to the garage open while I was getting the kids out of their carseats and Ellie tells me, "close the door, you are letting the cold air out". Think she got that one from my watt-watching husband :)<br />

Jack:<br />
While my little man may have been slow to walk, he certainly is ahead of the game when it comes to talking. He has so many new words that I am not even going to begin to try to list them. Lets just say the boy talks a lot! He can point to and name everyone in our family including the dogs, but he can't get Kate. He calls both of the girls Ellie. If I say where is Kate? He knows who she is and will point or walk over to her but still calls her Ellie. This is funny to me because it seems like Kate is easier to say than Ellie. He also loves to sing. He doesn't get the words right but he sings several songs that other people can recognize and he does the motions. Some of his favorites are ring around the rosey, the wheels on the bus, ABCs, and the itsy bitsy spider. He has also started to say poo poo and tap his hiney when he has a poo poo diaper. Maybe he will be easier to potty train with all the exposer he has gotten from his sisters? Jack is also into to finding noses recently. He will point to his, poke the dogs', point to baby dolls', etc and shout 'nose'! We are trying to work on other facial features, but he really likes noses :)<br />

Both of the girls still say 'hold you' when they want Todd or I to hold them. And they call their swim suits their swimming costumes. They have also been having some rather ridiculous disagreements. In the past 3 days they have argued to the point of screaming about who in our family has blond hair or brown hair, who is the oldest and youngest, and who is big and who is little. I am not sure why they get so fired up about these things, but the teenage years are likely to be rough around here :/<br />

Jack did really well on the plane and was quite the social butterfly. The flight was not full and we had the whole row to ourselves. He had so much fun waving and smiling at people and luckily the teenage boys sitting behind us didn't mind playing peek a boo with Jack and giving him high fives. <br />

While we were at Grammie and Papa's house we spent lots of time playing outside, swinging, going on walks, and just hanging out. Most days, during Jack's nap, my mom and I would sneak out and go shopping. It was nice to spend some child-free girl time with my mom :) It was pretty relaxing for Mommy to get a taste of what it would be like to have just one baby. My parents were nice enough to get Jack when he woke up every morning around 8, so I could sleep in. This was amazing! Jack is still kind of a Mommy's boy and a bit clingy, but all in all it was a great trip and I am really glad we got to go. Unfortunately the trip home was not a smooth as the way there. Our flight was delayed from 10:40am to 5:20pm. They put everyone from our flight on a stand-by list to try and get us out sooner. I was the last one put on a 3:10pm flight and Jack and I was sandwiched into a middle seat on a full flight 10 minutes before take off, but we made it. and he was still pretty pleasant considering he has 4 molars coming in, no nap, and spent the day in an airport. Also, a big thank you to Todd's parents as well for helping Daddy out with the girls while I was gone :)</div>Tori & Toddhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17824282310684661003noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3921812754432972577.post-61410414848927250362012-06-02T08:27:00.001-07:002012-06-02T08:27:48.415-07:00On the MoveLook who decided to give walking a try!!!<br />

Ellie was ready and has been doing great. She has had a couple of accidents here and there and is struggling a little with going poo poo in the potty, but over all I am really impressed with how well she is doing. No treats or bribery needed, she has just been running to go pee pee all by herself. Kate has not taken to it so well. We have tried a few times, but she mostly just says no and asks for her diaper. I am not going to push her just yet. I am going to give her some more time and hopefully she will come around.<br />

<br /></div>
Our lovable little guy is 15 months old. I took him in for his check up yesterday and Dr. Burns was pleased with his growth and development and commented on how smart and chatty he is :) Jack still isn't walking, but she watched him climb on and off the bench, cruise around, and walk holding mommy's hand. She said him not walking is a choice and when he chooses to, he will walk. If she isn't concrened, then I am not either. It is probably part my fault becuase he loves to snuggle me, so I do hold him a lot. So here are is stats:<br />
Weight : 21 lb 6oz (18%)<br />
Height: 32 in (70%)<br />

Likes:<br />
-eating everyone's food. As soon as he sees someone with food, he hustles over and begs. "Bite, bite, bite"<br />
-being outside<br />
-strawberries, bananas, blueberries, apples, grilled chicken, black beans, peas, all crackers and cookies, milk, drinkable yogurt<br />
-using a fork. Jack can now use a fork to eat his strawberries and chicken, but he gets frustrated trying to stab beans or peas, but won't use a spoon.<br />
-his sisters. Although they are sometimes not too pleased with his idea playing.<br />
-being held/snuggled by mommy<br />
-kisses. Jack just started making kissey noises and actually leaning in to give kisses. It is the best!<br />
-his blankie that grammie made for him<br />
-climbing the stairs and couch and trying to climb in the dishwasher<br />
-playing ball. Rolling and throwing with daddy.<br />
-dogs, ours and everyone else's :)<br />
-singing. He 'sings' to the tune of the abc's a lot. It is pretty cute!<br />
-ring around the rosie. He recently started to crawl in a circle around me while 'singing' and then he will stop, sit, and throw his arms in the air and say 'down!' It took me a few moments to realize he was playing ring around the rosie! I can never catch it on camera, but I am still trying!<br />
<br />
Wearing mostly 12 month or 9-12 month clothes and sometimes 12-18 month tops. He wears size 3 diapers. He has 7 teeth, with two top molars and one more bottom tooth on the way. He sleeps for about 11 hours at night and takes a 2 hour nap in the afternoon.<br />
He has become very chatty and seems to pick up new words everyday. Here are most of the words he says, but I am sure I will forget a few.<br />
-mama, dada, dog, ball, bite, hi, bye-bye, ni-night, nana (banana), gabba, that? (what is that?), down, go, moo (for cow), neigh (for horse and most other animals), quack, car, uh-oh, and he recently started saying "oh, no!"<br />
<br />
Dislikes:<br />
-having his hair washed, face cleaned, nose wiped<br />
-when Kate or Ellie steal something from him<br />
-diaper changes!<br />
-I don't think he likes shoes, he is always taking them off. But maybe it is just fun to play with velcro?<br />
-when I tell him no<br />

Now that the girls are getting better about staying close to me in public, we have been able to do more fun things. There was a time not so long ago when I thought we would never have pleasant outings. I would have to push the girls in the double stroller because I couldn't trust them to stay close and I would wear Jack in the bjorn. Let me tell you, it was quite the work out and I got all kinds of looks and comments from people. But it is looking more and more promising each time we go out (as long as it is not too close to a meal time or nap of course!). So here is the run down of our recent adventures. The day after we visited the Addison Fire Station (previous post) we went to the Dallas Zoo with Todd's parents. Kate and Ellie had a blast and I think this was the first time that Jack actually paid attention to the fact that there were neat animals everywhere. He was pointing at everything and shouting "that?", which is how he asks "what is that?". This was also the first time we rode the monrail and carousel. We thought it would be the best time to try because we had extra adults to help. The monrail was not a huge hit, but the carousel certainly was! <br />

On next field trip was Ellie and Kate's first trip to the movies! The girls have been really into Peppa Pig for quite some time and we were excited to find out that it was showing at Studio Movie Grill. Jack stayed at home and Todd and I took Ellie and Kate on a movie date. Kate's favorite part was the preview for a pirate movie and twirling in the big chair, but Ellie couldn't tear her eyes off the screen. She sat still and quiet for the entire hour and watched every moment, even though they were just episodes that we had already seen several times at home. All in all it went better than expected and I am glad we had the opportunity to go.<br />

Another recent trip was to the Dallas Children's Museum. It was really neat and there were a bunch of fun interactive things for the kids to do. Unfortunately there was a poorly behaved, rowdy bunch of elementary school field trip students there. They were the worst I have ever seen and were actually bullying the girls and the other toddler friends that were with us. It was sad, but we tried to make the best of it and hope to go back at a less busy time.<br />

We also went to the Grapevine Aquarium with our friends Isabelle, Connor, Luke and Audrey and back to the Dallas Zoo with Grammie, Aunt Catherine and baby cousin Ava, but I didn't get any pictures from those outings. Sometimes managing the kids and all of our stuff keeps me too busy to take pictures! Ellie, Kate, and Jack also go on weekly trips to Gymboree and Target, but these are much more casual field trips ;)<br />

our friends Landon, McKenna, and Alison. We went the Addison station
and all the fire fighters were so friendly and nice. They actually
seemed excited to be showing a group of toddlers around. Several of
them joined us for the tour and posed for pictures and goofed around
with the kids. It was a great experience and we have already decided
that we should come back next year when the kids will understand a
little more about fire safety and what the fire fighters truly do. <br />

This may seem like a strange post, but nursing my babies has been such a wonderful experience for me and I am kind of sad. It is just another thing reminding me that our sweet boy is leaving the baby stage. I nursed the girls for about a year (Kate stopped at 11 months and Ellie just after 12 months) and Jack until he was 13 1/2 months. With Jack I kept thinking how he would ever wean, but eventually it was just for nap and bedtime, and then just for bedtime, then every other night, and then that was it. I still rock him for nap and at bedtime because I love that time with him so much. So I apologize if this post was to much information, but I wanted to document the end of this time. I have been pregnant and/or breast feeding since Febuary of 2009! I guess it is time to give my body a break. I'll end with a few pictures of Jack snuggled up with me right after I had nursed him when he was two weeks old.<br />

Every year for about 10 years he has been on and helped build a float for the Greenville parade. This is the first year that he has not followed the tradition, but he did manage to make it to a St. Patrick's day party with some friends during nap time today:) We celebrated by wearing some cute green shirts to gymboree this morning and then having a chick fil a picnic when we got home. This is the only picture I managed to get this morning.<br />

He was having a great time playing in the mirror, getting weighed, and waving at everyone. And then the actual check-up part started and he wanted nothing to do with it. Having to be still so she could listen to his heart, check his ears, count his teeth, etc made him really angry! I think this was the most mad I have ever seen him get. I did not expect him to react like that at all. After all that you can imagine how being pinned down for the shots went. They needed an extra nurse! <br />

*I am not sure if the nurse read the chart wrong or what, but I do not think 25% is right for the height. I tried to look at some charts online, they were all a little different, but none of them put that height at anything under the 50%. So who knows.<br />

On February 24 Jack turned one! It has been a busy, crazy, wonderful year. This little boy has brought so much joy, love and happiness to our lives. He is still a sweet, easy going little guy although now he has something to say when things don't go his way. If one of the girls takes something he is playing with or if you eat in front of him without sharing he will shout, not cry or fuss really, but shout like he is saying "hey you!" On Jack's birthday we decided to make our first family trip to get frozen yogurt. I thought it would be something low-key that I knew all 3 kids would love. I was right. Todd's parents were in town so they came with us to help out since Todd is little help with his gimp knee :) <br />

A little bit about our boy at 12 months:<br />
<br />
-He loves the Layla and Day-Z (our dogs) and can't stay away from them. He is always touching them, pulling ears and tails, and trying to climb on them. They are not crazy about this, so they don't spend much time in the same room as us during the day.<br />
-He loves Mommy! This of course makes my heart melt. Ellie and Kate at this age were all about Daddy, so it is nice for me this time around. He loves to snuggle with me and be held. He will crawl all the way across the room saying "mama, mama, mama" until he gets to my lap :)<br />
-He is very verbal and says mama, dada, bite, baby, hi, bye, uh-oh, thank you and is working on Layla and Day-Z.<br />
-He is a pretty good eater, much better than the girls were at 1. He wants whatever anyone else is eating. So when he is sitting at the table with the girls he eats the same things. Some of his favorites are strawberries, peas, chicken, grilled cheese, quesidillas, mac and cheese, spaghetti, turkey, grapes, banana, cinnamon bread, goldfish and life cereal.<br />
-He has been stealing sips of cow milk from the girls' cups for months and likes it. I started giving him his own cup of milk but he rarely finishes it.<br />
-Jack is still nursing 3 times a day. Morning, nap, and bedtime. I think it is more for comfort and snuggle time when he is tired than for nutrition at this point.<br />
-He is sleeping from about 9:30pm to 8:30 am most nights, but still wakes up once 1 or 2 times a week.<br />
-He is very mobile and all over the place. He can pull up and cruise around and crawls pretty fast. The gate to the stairs was left open when I was taking the girls up for bath and I found out that he is also quite good and climbing the stairs!<br />
-Jack LOVES to be outside. When the weather warmed up we started going outside to play a couple times a day and he cannot get enough of it. Now he will crawl to the bay window, back door, or front door and yell to be let out. It will be so nice when he can walk and I don't have to worry as much about him eating things :)<br />
-Loves trying to get in the dishwasher, getting into drawers and cabinets, and climbing up the stairs if the gate ever gets left open<br />
-Jack is wear size 3 diapers and is wearing mostly 12 months clothes (some 9 month pants if they are really long)<br />
-He has 6 teeth, 4 on top and 2 on the bottom<br />

I am sure there are things I am forgetting about, but this is our handsome baby boy in a nutshell. We love, love, love you baby Jack. (Although now that you are one we are going to work on not calling you 'baby' Jack anymore :) )Tori & Toddhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17824282310684661003noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3921812754432972577.post-49446579696071114782012-02-26T15:36:00.000-08:002012-02-26T15:36:25.597-08:00Sad Baby JackJack had his first real illness over the holiday season. It was so sad. Right before Thanksgiving Jack had been a little crabby and not his happy smiley self. He had his first two bottom teeth and two top teeth all coming in at the same time, so I thought his mouth was just making him uncomfortable. Kate had a cold so I took the kids to the pediatrican and while we were there I mentioned that Jack had been a little fussy. Well sure enough he had an ear infection. I felt terrible, I had no idea. So he had to take an antibiotic for the first time. This made me a little nervous because Ellie has never had to take one and the one time we tried with Kate she broke out in hives and we found out she was allergic. Luckily Jack did not have a reaction and we thought it cleared up. We were wrong. 2 to 3 weeks later he had double ear infections and roseola at the same time. This was one sad baby! He was so pathetic. He wouldn't eat at all and only nursed for almost 3 weeks. He woke up 3 to 4 times every night and took several short naps through out the day. He just wanted to be held and cuddled all day, which I would have been happy to do if I didn't have two other kids to care for. It took 4 trips to the doctor and 3 different medicines before we got everything cleared up and our sweet baby was back to himself. Lets hope we can steer clear of ear infections from now on!<br />

Todd, Jack and I got to come to their class and see a little bit of what they do in school. It was fun to see the girls in a different environment. Kate did really well and sang the songs and danced and did the motions. Ellie was a little more shy with so many adults in the room. She just sat in Daddy's lap and watched. <br />

They put green frosting on a triangle shaped brownie and then decorated it like a Christmas tree. Kate didn't really care about decorating and just wanted to eat all the yummy things. Ellie, on the other hand, decorated hers very carefully and then requested a bag to save it in. She would probably still be carrying it around today if I let her. I was so glad that Todd was able to leave work for a bit to come. Kate and Ellie were thrilled that Mommy and Daddy and Baby Jack all came to school :) Here are some pictures of the fun we had!<br />

It was quite the road trip. We left Dallas around 11 am and arrived at my parents house shortly before 8pm. It was one LONG day. There were lots of snacks, toys, games, DVDs, crying, and stops along the way. But once we arrived everyone settled down and went to bed by 10. It was the girls first time to sleep in pack n plays, and we were a little worried about how they would react and if they would try to climb out, but they did just fine. Over all the trip was great! We had so much fun with Grammie and Papa and their little dog Bella. The girls were fascinated with such a small dog and gave her more attention than I think she wanted. While we were in town we went to one of my favorite Mexican restaurants, did some shopping, visited family and just hung out. My mom and I also went to see the newest Twlight movie, which was a treat because I don't often get to the movies.<br />

My aunts, cousin and grandmother came over and we had a nice afternoon. Unfortunately the yummy meal conflicted with nap time, so the girls missed out on some of the fun. But it was nice to see everyone. My Aunt had not met the kids yet because she had been living in Italy and my Grandma had not seen the girls since they were babies.<br />

I cannot believe I am already starting to think about his first birthday. He is the sweetest, happiest, baby I know. I just love him to pieces!!! So on Thanksgiving day Jack turned 9 months old. Here are his stats:<br />
<br />
Weight: 17lb 12oz (15%)<br />
Height: 29in (50%)<br />
Head: 17 3/4 (30%)<br />

So he is a little on the skinny side. Partly becuase he eats very little baby food/table food and partly because he is scooting all around and loves jumping in the jumperoo and partly just because we make long and lean babies :)<br />
<br />
What Jack's Up to<br />
-scooting around on his belly. He gets on all fours a lot, but hasn't mastered the actual crawl yet.<br />
-nurses 6 times a day and still wakes up once a night for a feeding<br />
-takes one short cat nap in the morning and a two hour nap in the afternoon<br />
-starting to get better about eating. eats about 2-4 ounces of purees a day<br />
-still loves watching his sisters and smiles and laughs at them all day<br />
-says mama and dada<br />
-not into sippy/staw cups unless they are Ellie or Kate's<br />
-loves splashing in the bath<br />
-is finally getting some teeth. The top two started coming first and now two on the bottom as well.<br />
-had his first sick visit to the doctor. Double ear infections :(<br />
-like to 'sway' side to side. He does this in the jumperoo and when people are holding him.<br />
<br />
Here is a picture of his first two teeth.<br />

We took the kids to the arboretum to see the pumpkin village and petting zoo and then in the evening we went to a halloween carnival. The girls loved getting dressed up in their costumes, I am not sure how much Jack liked his, but he sure looked cute! Here are some pictures from our morning at the arboretum.<br />

Ellie and Kate also had their faces painted for the first time. Kate was ok with it and pretty excited about how it turned out. She got sparkley pink and purple butterfly wings. Ellie was a little hesitant. First she allowed him to paint a tiny heart on mommy hand, then her hand, and finally a few hearts on her cheek.<br />
