Gabriela

I love watching Gabriela grow. Lately, she is really interested in spelling and reading. She ask me about 10 times a day how to spell a word! She is very impressed with cursive handwriting. I explained to her that she needs to master print first. However, she is very impatient and can't wait for cursive!

It is so fun to see her interact with the babies. They love her and light up when they see her. They get song performances daily. The last couple nights she has put together puppet shows for them! Gabriela is such a big help. I am so proud of her and love being her Mom!

Halloween

A few months ago Gabriela said she wanted to be a hot dog for Halloween. Not sure where she got the idea. I didn't taker her seriously and figured she would change her mind. Boy was I wrong! She also came up with costumes for the babies. It turned out cute,  and I am excited to see what she has in mind next year!

Busy little babies

My life has changed! The babies are moving and getting into everything. Xander started crawling first. A few days later Addison joined him. This week Xander started pulling up on furniture. They are literally all over the place!

Xander loves balls! There could be the smallest ball underneath a chair. He will find it and do everything possible to get it.

Xander learned how to climb up the step first. Poor Addison would try and try. A few days ago she learned how. I was not that excited for her! 

They love taking baths. Tonight my Dad was here and helped me give them baths. Anytime someone is visiting I take advantage of the extra hands!

Snake

Monday morning I woke up to a snake in my bathroom. It was so scary! I had to kill it, because I did not want it lost in my house. I grabbed a shoe and a spray bottle of bleach. Not sure the bleach helped, but that is what I do when I kill spiders! It took a while for it to die. Hoping I never have to experience that again.

The Zoo

We went to The Zoo over fall break. I was a little nervous to take the babies. They did great. Gabriela got tired and was begging to get in the stroller! I think she cried more than they did. The highlight of the trip was feeding the giraffes. 

Cuddle time

The babies love playing with Gabriela. My favorite is when all three are in my bed! Addison's eyes light up when Gabriela holds or cuddles with her. 

Xander

Xander is getting his first tooth!!
