Ali is 5 Months

Where did this last month go? It seems to be flying by. Ali definitely has her look now. I still think she looks like me, but she is definitely an Andrew.

Ta-da here I am!

Did you get that last shot mom?

Mooahhh!

We start them young, Ali loves playing with Jeff's iPad, just like all the boys do, this kept her entertained for a good 20 minutes, she just kept pushing things on the screen.

Ali is a tall girl! She is our only baby with rolls and I LOVE IT! She is still jabbering all the time and almost sitting up, she rolls everywhere, has graduated from her bassinet and is not so much a momma's girl (the crying it out so she can put herself to sleep at nap time helped a lot for her and me, I can actually get a few things done around here now). I love having a girl!

Zander is 2!

Two years ago we got this gift!

Here he is at the hospital.


Zander is at such a fun age right now. He is talking, trying to keep up with his brothers and always making me laugh. This kid is so dang cute! Some of his funny antics right now are that whenever I ask if the boys want to do something he will raise his hand and say "I do, I do, I do" (I will post video of that as soon as I get around to taking it :) He loves to play with balls, throw them and kick them (mostly at his brothers and this kid has really good aim and coordination). When he doesn't want something he does a shoulder shrug to one side and sometimes says "Donwanit". We know the shrug so he just does the shrug most of the time. He has been my most difficult infant but Zane still takes the cake for most stubborn!

For his Birthday we took him to Chuck E. Cheese's. They got to play games.

Eat cake
(He is my little monkey that climbs on everything and always has bruises on his face from falls, so I had to make him a monkey cake)

And play with new toys.

We love Zander!
(Notice the bruise on his cheek? He was jumping on the couch and landed face/cheek first on the train table)

Catch up

I have a lot of catching up to do! Here is some of the highlights of the last month.

Here are the boys having fun walking and throwing rocks at the beach.


And just being silly!


We had a Halloween party for church, the boys got a ton of candy!

Ali and I were ladybugs
On a rainy Saturday we headed up to the Aquarium at Lego Land

This was a cool octopus

Zander enjoyed the ride and seeing all the fish.

Silly boys again!
