Update on the Girls

The girls have been VERY busy in the past month.  They went from rolling across the living room to commando crawling all over the place.  Allison does a combination regular crawl and commando crawl.  Allison is also pulling up and standing on everything.  She transfers from one toy/piece of furniture to the other, and she actually walked from one end of the couch to the other to get a toy!  The girls (and Ben too) are so much fun, they play with each other and talk to each other (I'll have to post a video of that later).  They are now starting to get into drawers, playing with doors, etc.  Here are a bunch of pictures from the last few 2-3 weeks.

Ben and Chris were playing trains.....up popped Allison!  She wants to be a part of everything!

Samantha's down dog pose (Yoga for those of you that don't know)

Allison coming up to see mommy on the couch :)

You have to watch where you step these days....turn around and there is a baby at your feet!

The girls watching something cooking in the oven and playing with the pans :)

Allison, again not wanting to miss any of the action!

Allison likes to crawl over things....including her sister!

Easter

I am very behind in blogging, so sorry!  I have lots of fun pictures and stories of what the kiddos have been up too.  Now I just have time for some Easter pictures.  Here are pictures from our Easter preparations and celebration!  Thanks to all our family for coming we had a wonderful day!

Dying Easter eggs.  He kept wanting to "check on them" to see how they were coming along...

Ben on the Easter egg hunt, with a big audience :)

On to basket #2, filled up the first one and still more eggs to find!

Opening all his eggs, there were things like puffs and bows for the babies too!

Rub-a-dub-dub 3 kids in a tub!

We put all three kids in the tub together tonight for the first time!  It made bath night go much faster (we usually do 1 at a time) and they all had so much fun!!

Pictures of my gorgeous ladies!!!

The girls are a movin'!

The girls are moving! Samantha moves backwards, gets up on all 4's and rocks back and forth...but how she really gets to where she wants to go is by rolling! I have heard there are babies that never actually crawl they just roll and Samantha might be one of them! Allison does the commando crawl and pulls/pushes herself wherever she wants to go. Her favorite thing to do is crawl after her big brother Ben :)

Spring is here!

We took the crew to the park yesterday afternoon. Walked over there with our two strollers, look at cool dude Ben eating his goldfish! He loved it and the girls had fun watching him go! Mommy and daddy were just thrilled to be outside getting a little exercise and sun!
