Just cause they are so darn cute!!!

So, just a post of random pics cause they are so gosh darn cute!!

Here is Lilly looking like a little preppy gal...


And, Reed doing what he does best....talking....




They love each other so much! She is just amazed by him and he makes her smile and giggle all the time.


MawMaw Lisa brought her a baby doll that says the "Now I lay me down to sleep" prayer. Reed keeps taking it and praying with the baby doll. He tells Lilly to pray too...he doesn't quite understand that she doesn't know how to put her hands together to pray. We'll get there...


Giggling at her big brother.



Big HUG!!


More to come this week....need to go to bed!! Night!





Lafayette Children's Museum

So, one Saturday many weeks ago, we took the kiddies to the museum here in Lafayette. Lilly just took it all in...



While, Reed ran around like crazy. So, we took pictures and here is a collection I call "What will Reed be when he grows up?"
Hmm...an abicus...maybe an accountant..."No way mommy, get me away from this thing"


Maybe a news reporter....yea, probably not.


maybe some old military guy....Nope....Mommy will stress.



How about a president? And, maybe those weird beards will come back in stlye?!?!?


Maybe a doctor? An orthopedic?


Well, whatever he and Lilly turn out to be I know they will both make me proud. Love my babies!!




So, let me update everyone....

Well, we got Reed's train table set up and he LOVES it. Here he is in his new conductor hat.



Then, against my wishes, Steven had his eyes done. So, here is an embaressing picture just to get him back for making me worry. No more glasses =(

Reed thought Daddy looked funny too!


Yea, it freaked Lilly out too!




Don't worry....more to come....

She's growing....

Today we had Lilly's 4 month check up with shots. She weighed a whopping 15 pounds (77% in weight). She was 80% in height and 88% in head circumference. She is not quite as big as Reed was at this point but very close. Lilly is right where she needs to be developmentally too. She is cooing and laughing all the time. Of course she is also getting in that stage where she wants you to pay attention to her all the time....and with a very demanding big brother, well, needless to stay she doesn't always get her way!

Reed is getting big too. He was in 90% plus in all his measurements at his 2 year check up last month. He's already wearing size 3T clothes and he has HUGE feet (already wearing a size 9). He talks CONSTANTLY which I hear from my mother in law that Steven was the same way....and the talking never ends. He sings all the time and has Twinkle Twinkle Little Star down packed. He tries his ABC's and is sometimes successful. He knows his colors really well too and is picking up shapes very quickly. And, as you can see, mom thinks Reed is SUPER smart and SUPER cute too!!

Steven had his eye surgery last week and seems to have healed well. His vision in his left eye is great and his right eye is still coming along but getting better every day. He has a long eye drop schedule over the next 3 months but so far so good. He's back into the swing of things with school but only taking the first 1/2 of the semester since he has so much Army training coming up. His plan is to maybe take some classes when he is deployed and finish up when he returns in 2011. We will be so glad when school is over.

Nothing new with me....just working and taking care of these babies. They are tiring but so so so wonderful to have in our lives!! We are so lucky to have beautiful and healthy children.

Sorry no pics on this post....I am on Steven's laptop and can't load pictures on here =( Soon though....stay tuned.
