Three Under Three

Having three kids under three has definitely been an adjustment for all of us. Obviously it's not what we were expecting when we decided to have another baby, but we are loving it and doing our best to get back to "normal."

For us, that means doing fun things even when it means bring three babies! It's definitely harder, but it's (usually) better than sitting home!

Even though we wish we were in a house already, we really appreciate having a pool in our complex!

Most of the time we are the only ones there, so we have the whole pool to ourselves.

We got some floaties so the babies could swim too. Turns out it's hard to hold two babies and play with Will at the same time, so the floaties are great.

Charlie fell asleep in the stroller on the way to the pool, and Henry didn't particularly enjoy his first time swimming in the pool. 

And then he got tired... poor sad baby!

Don't worry, he fell asleep. 

Having three kids also means time for a mom haircut! 

I chopped off eleven inches. Just enough to donate. Woot woot!

The twins are doing great. We kept them in the same crib in our room for a while, which made things really nice for me when they woke up to eat in the night.

More kids also means less sleep. One morning I had finally gotten the babies down for a nap, so Will and I went into his room to read some books. Next thing I know I'm waking up in Will's bed and found him asleep in his tent. What a good boy!

The twins like to hold hands every time the nurse (when they're not smacking each other in the face that is). So dang cute!

This picture is from the boys' 4-month birthday. They both were in the 50-75%. Charlie (left) weighed in at 14 lbs 13 oz and Henry was 15 lbs 9 oz. Such good growth from my tiny babes!

Will has had a hard time dealing with the lack of attention. He always wants to be in the middle of everything! He's learning to love his brothers though.

I sure love all my boys!

Crawfish and Snails

May/Early June is crawfish season around here, and we were lucky enough to go to a couple of crawfish boils this year. The best one was put on by Adam's work.

We started our day with a little trip to the beach in the morning, then headed over to the park. The company had tons of food ready for us and lots of activities set up for the kids.

We saw this blow-up thing on our way in and I thought that it was a slide, so I took Will over to go down it. Turns out it was a little zipline!

I had Will watch someone first to make sure he really wanted to do it and he said he did, so I took him up. 

He got a little nervous once we got to the top and said he was too scared to go down, but I told him it was too late and he had to go anyway!

He loved it! At least, he said it was fun, but he was too scared to go again lol.

They also had free snow cones and cotton candy, so we had to make sure to get some of those too!

It was Will's first time eating cotton candy and he loved it! (of course)

And five minutes later we were in the car and Will was passed out... poor guy.

Somehow the babies slept through the whole thing, even with live music and some crazy wind.  They were excited to stretch out when we got home though!

Texas summers are also full of rainy days. The joys of living in the south I guess.

One night Will was going nuts so I took him outside to play with his ball, but it was too wet so we decided to find snails and frogs instead!

Will was very concerned about the snails being alone, so he made me collect all of them (we found about five) and put them all together in front of our apartment.

He really liked finding them, but holding them made him a little nervous. And here's some cute pictures of the kids.

Scooting around! Henry started moving off the blanket pretty early!
