I decided that I don't need a winter coat, not because it's so warm here in Iowa but because any time that I go anywhere with all three kids it is a work out and I usually end up sweating. I love going to friends houses, church, music class but it definitely ends up being a work out. I sure do love getting out and about though. Twice this week we have been ready an hour before we needed to go anywhere which resulted in meeting Dan for breakfast before church and getting to hang out with my friend Anna and her girls before music class. Getting myself and my three beautiful babies out the door has become less of a challenge and more of a routine. Quinton even likes to "help" get Rex and Myla in their seats.
I was trying out our new bathtub crayons!
Rex and Myla continue to melt our hearts and their personalities emerge more every day. They both giggle now and are always full of smiles for everyone. They are both so much stronger, I like that I can hold them on my hip without head support although Myla is still a little small to hold that way. They both love to watch the chaos of Quinton running around, they love listening to Dan and I make up songs so that Quinn can play the guitar, they love being next to each other and they love grabbing any toy in sight. They are becoming more and more fun!
Dan put Myla on top of Rex like this but I'm thinking that this is a sign of whats to come in the future. I think that Myla will pick on her brothers and I think that she will be right in with them while they wrestle and play around. She's going to be a tough one! Rex didn't seem to mind at all that Myla was squishing him!

Myla looked a little stunned at first!
Quinton enjoyed my spaghetti and meat balls for dinner... can you tell?

Quinton has a huge love for books and notices every little detail in them. His words are getting clearer and clearer. It is so fun to teach him new words and to seem him remember them.The twins are enjoying the book as well!
A new indoor activity is shaving cream! I needed to get dinner made so I put some shaving cream on the counter gave Quinn some trucks and it kept him entertains for a while and I got dinner made and the kitchen cleaned up. It is not the cleanest indoor activity but he sure did smell good after!
Myla got her first pair of shoes the other day. Some cute pink boots with a little skiing bunny on them. Quinn had a pair of brown boots like these last year and wore them every day so Rex is in Quinton's old ones and Myla got new pink ones!
Hanging out in the bumbo chairs. Look at these strong babies. Myla still needs some support under her otherwise her head barely makes it over the top of the chair. Bumbos are helpful for older brother watching!
Quinton has started napping and sleeping at night in his big boy bed. But he has also discovered that he can get out of bed. He is almost always really good about laying down for his naps but one day I heard him playing after I layed him down a little while later I went to go check on him and this is where I found him... I could barely open the door!
Quinn putting chapstick on himself!
Two babies in the bath!
Uncle RyRy and Aunt Dana got stranded in Des Moines when they closed 35N. It was fun for us though. Quinn enjoyed the extra playmates and the babies enjoyed the extra arms to hold them. A fun family evening!
Quinton's BFF is Leighton! These two boys play incredible together. They love being around each other and Quinton asks for him multiple times a day. I think they will grow up to be great friends!
Dan celebrated his 26th birthday the end of January. We had a fun date night of Chinese food and Avatar (it was much better than I expected). I am thankful for the incredible husband and daddy that Dan is. Our kids adore him and I adore him... Happy Late Birthday Danny!
