Just another day in paradise...


What can I do with this?
Teagan's a big fan of Jenn Suhr

She's seen her in the Olympics

Ready.

Set.


Go.



Teagan makes it over the bar and wins the gold in the 2032 Olympics

We're going on a trip, in our little rocket ship...

Freedom!

Rianne? Teagan?

I'm all alone.

Slides are a little crowded...

Over the bridge...

Let's go to the swings...





Mmmm...HyVee Blueberry Muffin.

Mommy, try some muffin...
Gotta lick your fingers!
 
Teagan, look, I'm going to change my own diaper!

Mom! Rianne's trying to change her own diaper!

Greatest Show on Earth

You see three cute girls...
I see...noooo, not yet....noooo



The girls are 18 months already.  They seem to have grown so much the past few months.  Right now they really like to put shoes on; it’s usually just one shoe or two different shoes.  They love to read books and we are getting better at reading books before they go to bed so hopefully when we stop the bottles, we will still have a routine and it won’t be too difficult.  The girls are interacting with each other a lot more.  They will sit and play by themselves for a bit which is wonderful.  We can sometimes get a few things done now.




Teagan is starting to say a few words.   She can say yes, go, nana, night night, kensie (kenzie).  Brielle and Rianne still jabber a bunch and if Rianne is really excited she will scream in the midst of her jabber.  Teagan loves to get up on our kitchen chairs them climb on the table.  From time to time her sisters join in.  I haven’t been able to find anything to put on the chairs to keep her off them. 



The girls are pretty good eaters.  They LOVE any fruit.  They do pretty well eating veggies, but are not the best meat eaters.  Brielle loves bread and is the least picky of the three.  They girls love to snack.  Right now their favorites are yogurt bites, puffs, teddy grahams, graham crackers, and funfetti cookies when Mickenzie makes them. 




The girls have their 18 month check up in a few weeks so we will have their stats then.  Brielle is still itsy bitsy (wears 12-month clothes) and the other girls are getting taller and now wear 18-month clothes.  We were able to stop Brielle’s Prevacid and she is doing fine.  She is down to two doctors now! Brielle went back to the eye doctor and her condition is stable so we go back in six months for another check.





They say kids at a very young age understand what they will be when they grow up...here's Rianne and Teagan...
And Max and Caroline...

Brielle's on the slide, but you can tell she's really...
Just asking for a horse she "promises" she'll take care of.


Well, you got an audience. What are you going to do next?

What? My ears were chilly.

Now you see the Yogurt bites. I wave my magic wand and  ...

Poof! They're gone...

Brielle's first ponytail!

Who needs a dollhouse?

Teagan's Poopy in the Bathtub



It's been a while since I've seen Caddyshack.

Now, that's a snickers bar.

And that's Bill Murray, but I did dress similarly before cleaning up Teagan's present.
Teagan doing her behind the back inspection after the clean-up.

 No, we are not those parents who would take a picture, but Teagan didn't realize that when you "see a man about a horse" you go somewhere else to poop. This wasn't her first time, but it was daddy's first time cleaning up the tub.

This is totally random, but I went to the Ankeny YMCA and I can't believe no one else noticed that the snowplow decided to put all of the snow on the two handicapped spots...but the parking spaces next to it them were cleared?

Teagan tried to fly. It didn't work out for her.

Brielle showing Mindy how she disappears.

Teagan does not want to disappear.

Brielle going up to the top of the slide...

Brielle always waits for an audience.

And now she slides.

Now, here's Rianne, and this is actually intentional. It will be nice when we take her to a pool, but right now, well, it's not working out so well for her.



Maya comes for a visit.

I think everyone is wondering why Brielle is eating a plastic banana.
