Almost on the Move!

My house is on the move!
(not crawling yet but definitely moving)
Rex and Myla seem to find any way possible to get from here to there and they are only getting faster and more creative! There is rolling, scooting, twisting, going backwards, many ways for getting what they want. Rex has also mastered the art of sitting up from laying down, something that he is very proud of. Every time he does it he gets a HUGE grin on his face. They both desperately want to be on the go! I have a feeling that things are going to get crazy very quickly when they start moving! I'm going to need to be quick on my feet!

Below are a series of pictures that show what happens in my house every day. One of the babies gets a toy and the other one does whatever it takes to get it! The other day Myla managed to get herself on top of Rex. It looked like she pinned him in wrestling. Don't be deceived by her small size or his innocent eyes!

Rex spotted the pinwheelHe is working on getting it!

Check out the sad face on Miss Myla

He got it...

Just another moment at the Rude house!

Quinton continues to like Rex and Myla more and more. He likes to include them and play with them! He passes the ball to them, washes their feet with the spray bottle, gets them toys, has them come into his forts and caves that he builds. He is also quite the encourager. When they are fussy in the car he reminds them that we are "Almost there." The other day when Myla had her sippy cup upside down he looked at her grabbed his cup and said, "Just drink it like this Myla," showed her how to drink from a cup and ended with an "ahhh!" Funny but very helpful big brother!

Quinton provided them with many many balls to play with

Bath time is a whole new experience now. Both Rex and Myla try and stand up during the whole bath. It makes it quite difficult to take long baths anymore but we do our best!

Every day my house is transformed into many different things, a train station, a cave, a fort, a jungle, an ocean (we have a lot of sharks in our house lately), scooter central... there are endless possibilities with Quinn around!

Cave/fort building has become a popular past time around our house lately. Quinn especially loves it when he can invite Rex and Myla into his cave and he loves it when you put a blanket over the top. And it is REALLY cool if mom lets him have his snack inside of his cave! Oh how exciting couch cushions can be!

Big or little, forts are always fun!

Rex and Myla had their nine month check-up today (I was a little late, they are almost 10 months) but they are both TALL with big beautiful heads! Rex is 21 and a half lbs (70% for weight) and 90% for height. Myla is just over 17 lbs (25% for weight) and 90% for height. Both are right on track with their skills and development. It is always wonderful to hear that your children are healthy!

Rex and Myla LOVE real food although I am still forcing the baby food down because it seems to be the healthiest option still!

Quinton loves to help with everything involving Rex and Myla these days. He is now included in helping to feed them... lucky Rex and Myla :)

We went to the zoo last week with 5 other moms. It was a fun morning. Quinton's favorite part was the train, Leighton and feeding the goats!

I put on a headband one morning (a dirty hair day!) and Quinn wanted to join the fun. Despite the sad look in this picture he actually really wanted to wear it! I think he looks good in animal print!

We spent Father's Day at Dan's parents house. Grandpa Tim enjoyed pushing all the little boys.
Cousin Miles is on the left, James and Connor are next (they are the little boys that Tim and Nancy adopted) and then Quinn. The four of them loved playing together!

So thankful that life is continuing to go well. We are all doing great! I think I am going to quickly realize that my house is two year old proof but no longer baby proof. We might be moving things to high ground soon!
