Wow - pretty bad that it's been almost two full months since I updated the blog. It's been an insane work month for me and our social calendar is starting to fill up as the weather gets warmer. Pictures will follow but here are the updates on the entire family.
Erin is amazing. Simply amazing. She's writing words, is an incredible big sister and is such a good friend. She's been a wonderful help with Cole and her sisters. She's taken a shine to a gymnastics class that she takes at school so we've signed her up for Little Gym again. I was a bit worried at first because it took her some time to warm up to LG the first time she went at 2 years old. This new class is not a parent participation class and she walked right in and didn't look back. She loves the balance beam and the mats and is warming up to the uneven bars. Ask her nicely and she'll do a back roll for you any time.
Sarah is hilarious. We always say she's our most deliberate child. She thinks about anything at length before doing it and figures out the best way to do it. That includes misbehaving! She's great at telling herself stories, helping us clean up and helping us plan the menu (it's a steady dose of "I WANT CHICKEN!" She's great at giving looks that express a thousand meanings. She and Sloane have been going to Little Gym as well in a parent participation class and to our amazement she's been a daredevil!
Sloane is our sensitive girl who has a future as a comedian along with her sister. She's turned into a major love bug - she loves to cuddle and will play catch with us, loves to parade around her babies and actually has a favorite baby doll now. In Sloane-speak the doll's name is baby zoozaaa. It started our as baby Jesus and we convinced her that probably wasn't an entirely appropriate name for a baby that she dragged around half naked and left in the car each day.
Cole is our little man. We took him for his 6 month well baby and advised the pediatrician that he's not rolling over. When I fessed up to the fact that we never put him down, she determined that was probably the cause. Since he never gets the opportunity to play on his playmat, he never has learned to roll. We're trying to give him some time. And in the doctor's very professional opinion - he has beautiful eyes :)
Matt and I have both been good. We finally gave in and got a cleaning service. Matt claimed he's never seen me walk in the door as happy as the day the cleaning service started. What can I say, I love the smell of clean house.
Pictures to follow soon!
