Maile-Alexis-Rebecca

Over the past 8 months since Natalie has been born, these three girls have somewhat been neglected on my blog. Every other post is about the new thing Natalie is doing and I realized I don't want to forget what is going on with my big girls so here is a little end of the year (school year) recap. Maile- My big girl. Even though she is only 14 months older than her twin sisters she is much more mature at this point in time. She knows that helping Mommy is a much better idea than going against me and she is my eyes when I am not around. I can count on her to let me know when something is going down. Maile is doing well in school, she is finally getting a little more independent, she has even started walking into the school yard on her own...huge step for her! This year has been really good for her, she has lots of friends who like her even if she hasn't said a word to them all year. She is my super shy girl for sure. Maile loves getting kisses and can eat ice cream by the bucket, preferably chocolate. Maile still sleeps with her doggy and is happy that we moved her bed in with her sisters. Maile is such a sweet girl and I am so proud of her all the time!Alexis- I will always consider Alexis my most passionate child. When she feels an emotion it is never half way. If she is happy she is sweet, kind, helpful, funny and smart. If she is mad, she is knock down drag out mad. She will yell, scream, hit things, sass and be very defiant. No matter what though, we love our Lexi. I can no longer outsmart this girl, nothing gets past my Lexi. She is so ready for school next year we can both hardly wait, I am pretty sure if we get some time away from each other we will enjoy each other's company much more :) Right now Lexi loves to sing and dance, is always hungry and loves to be pretty. She will smile at herself in the mirror and always wants to see her photo after I take it. Love me some Lexi.Rebecca- My talker. She is talking all the time, half the time she is repeating herself because she never listens to my answer or can't hear the answer...that is something we need to look into for sure. Rebecca is my silly girl, my flighty girl, my picky eater, my itty bitty skinny girl and my sleeper girl. Rebecca loves to accessorize and then use extra hand movements to shake all the bling around. She loves to sing, has no censer yet (was practically yelling about the little person we saw at the store the other day), will kick her feet like a baby if she is upset, will be so cute if she is in a good mood and is a pretty good kid for always being sick. She too is ready for school too, she is a pleaser and loves all the teachers and parents at the school already. Becca Boo you are a cutie!

Fun Friday

Yesterday we went to the park to help celebrate a friends birthday and Natalie finally got to hang out with her little buddies. It was so cute seeing all of these little babies together and rather difficult to get them to all look up at once...just want to pinch all that cute baby chub!!Later that afternoon we got to go to Maile's school for the CrAzY CiRcUs. It was pretty fun, we saw all our friends and got to play lots of games. I love watching my kids during these kind of events, they get so excited and their different personalities really come out. Overall we had a busy and very fun day!

Tubes

Natalie got tubes put in her ear yesterday to help alleviate her chronic ear infections. The procedure was pretty short she was in and out in just a few minutes. My Aunt Susan is an RN at the Surgery Center and was able to be our nurse for the morning and that was awesome. Nothing like a little VIP treatment :) Not to mention I got to hang out with her and chat, that's always fun too. Over all Natalie is back to her normal self already, which is a good sign that everything went well. Hopefully now she will get some relief!

8 Months

At 8 months old little Miss Natalie is still a busy little baby. She crawls, climbs, stands and gets into everything. She has been sampaling new food, she loves crunchy stuff and loves when we sneak her some sweet stuff.
Natalie is still not sleeping through the night and still thinks our bed belongs to her but I am hoping that now that she got her tubes in she will be more comfortable.
Natalie is also becoming more social, she like other people besides Mommy and I guess I can share her :) Love that baby girl sooo much!
