Well aunt Suzy left today and it's just our little family of five now. It's a house full of runny noses but despite the sicknesses we had a great time tonight. Adam woke up at 5 pm but he was in such a sweet mood. He played and played with David and they even ran around the playroom holding hands. Then Adam and David started taking turns tickling and wrestling each other. They were rolling around the floor and laughing up a storm. After playtime we all went upstairs to put David to bed and read him books. Then Adam helped me give rebekah a bath. Rebekah is swaddled and sleeping soundly so Adam and I made popcorn and are having a calliou tv show marathon. These kiddie may wear me out at times but I couldn't imagine life without them. They are worth every tantrum, every poopy diaper and every sleepless night. We are so blessed! Mommy

I'm hanging out with Mommy and Aunt Suzy right now watching a chic flick.  I like having girl time.  Aunt Suzy brought me two cute outfits and baby fairy wings!  I'm such a spoiled girl.  Mommy picked out outfits for me for the week.  I am all dolled up these days.  Mommy is happy that I'm finally getting some meat on my bones so that I can fit into some of my outfits.  Mommy would be happier though if I could last more than 2-3 hours between night feedings, but I have a tiny tummy and I read that eating many small meals a day is better than just a few big ones :-p 

I"ve been having a great time at home and am adding pink wherever I can. 

Lots of love,

Rebekah

Hello everyone -

It's been a long time since I've written.  Things have been pretty busy around the house lately.  I like the fact that mommy has been home a lot now and that we get all sorts of visits from aunts, uncles and grandparents.  Grandma and Aunt Suzy took David and I to the Children's museum the other day.  I had a great time running around and playing at all of the exhibits.  I've been pretty attached to mommy these days.  I love the fact that she is home every day now.  I also have been enjoying this nice weather and going on long walks and feeding the ducks.  I don't have to sit in a stroller anymore so that is fun as well.  I pretty much ignore Baby Rebekah.  Mommy brought one of those things home before and I know she will be growing up and taking my toys soon enough so I'll just let her rest for now.  I'll let her know the houserules in a few more months. 

Love,

Adam 

Uh-oh!  Grandma Karius left on an airplane this morning.  She's been my morning buddy for 2 weeks this month.  I loved waking up and pointing at her and saying Uh-Oh every morning. She gets my sense of humor.  I've been having fun taking care of my little sister Rebekah this month.  I like to pet her head and tickle her toes.  But, I especially love rolling around in her toys.  Aunt Suzy is here now and is my replacement morning buddy.  I'll put her to the test and see how she does. 

I've started speech therapy and am starting to use my words a lot more these days.  Yesterday I pointed at mommy's shelf and said "duh.  duh."  She has two ducks on her shelf.  I also like to say "go, more, bar, and baby."

My latest trick is that every time my parents give me a bath with Adam I poop in the tub.  It's pretty funny.  I poop and Adam points and says, "Poop!  Poop!"  Mommy and Daddy don't find it very funny though.  Oh well!

Love,

David

P.S. "Uh-oh"

I am baptized! Sorry I haven't had to blog since my arrival but it's been crazy out in the real world. Today was supposed to be my arrival date but I've already been around now for 2.5 weeks. Mommy and I are getting into a routine and the boys just ignore me. So it's really win win. Well I'd write more but mommy is telling me to go to bed. You'll hear from me soon! Rebekah
