Andrew Anecdotes ~ Happy 5th Birthday!

WOW! I can;t believe my baby is 5!!!!! Where has the time gone. It seems like just yesterday he was born and I was holding this beautiful little baby in my arms. Sniff, sniff. He has just really started to grow up this past year. He is starting to write so much better and loves to add things up. He has grown a ton too. He has grown 4.25 inches and gained 13 lbs in a YEAR! Holy Cow!

He is still the same silly kid. The new thing he like to say is "I'm serious". He is the best big brother too. He really likes that jobs and loves and takes care of the twins. I just love to watch it. He has also started playing tee ball. He has done so well! He even got the first game ball of the year. I just love my little guy. We also went to register him for kindergarten a couple of weeks back and he has already made a new friend. He and this little girl were just talking away. I am still on the fence as weather to be happy or sad about Kinder. On the one hand we are both ready for it, and it will be nice to be down to 2 kids at home. Yet, once he goes then he will officially be a big boy and not my baby anymore. I will miss spending time with him and I will miss my helper.

He had a great birthday party too. This year we did it at Pump It Up and he loved it. He asked for a Blizzard cake from DQ this year so after the main party we had another little party at home with that cake and we opened presents. One of his favorite gifts was a Wii game where you shoot dinosaurs. There is a picture below that will give you an idea as to how much he loves it.

Stats:
Weight: 52 lbs 3 oz - 95% which is up from 73%
Height: 45.5 inches - 91% which is up from 71%

Twin Tales ~ 9 Months

I am sooooo late is posting this! But, it was a good thing since both babies have done a lot of new things in the last couple of weeks. Timothy started Army crawling at the beginning of the month and Bernadette just started to crawl for real in the last few days. She can also sit up all on her own. They have also started eating table food for lunch and dinner. They can both drink from a straw. I just can't believe how much that are doing. It was also their first Easter, but I will post those pictures late. Now, I will have to say it was really hard getting them to stay still to take these pictures!!!!

Stats:
Bernadette
Weight: 15 lbs 9 oz - 4%
Height: 25.5 inches - 3%
She went down in her percentiles so we are having to up her calories. Which isn't as easy as it sounds. She eats a lot. We are trying to supplement with formula but, she won't drink from a bottle, or sippy cup... Not that she can't, she won't. She is getting better at drinking water from them and really likes drinking from a straw.

Timothy
Weight: 17 lbs 9 oz - 7%
Height: 27.5 inches - 22%
He is still maintaining for the most part and will probably get really fat now since we give him a bottle when we try and give Bernadette one. He drinks his all gone. It doesn't matter what we give him he will drink it.
