September Pictures

P1 and P2 finally earned their Elena and Bumblebee toys. They had to fill up a little bean jar. We would give them beans when they were good listeners, and take them away when they weren't. It took them quite a long time! Every time they got close to the top, one of them would have a meltdown and they would lose a lot of beans.

Enjoying a treat at Bahama Buck's:

Lunch date at Spanky's with mom:

P1 and P2 reading books together. Aren't they so cute when they get along?

P1 is such a good brother (usually). Here he is helping P2 put her shoes on:

We ventured out to the park for the first time with the baby. So of course, P1 just had to find a mudhole and get stuck in it. He lost his shoe in it, and got his bum pretty dirty.

P1 doing Upstart, his online preschool. It is an awesome program and P1 has made a lot of progress towards reading. He enjoys doing it each day, and can do it by himself. He has to do it for 15 minutes, 5 days a week. We try to do it every day after lunch, and P1 is usually good an remembering all by himself.

Dad made a Lego table for the kids to enjoy during conference:

Big Sister

P2 became a giant overnight when P3 was born. Look how big she is!!! She slowly warmed up to P3. At first she just loved him from a distance. It took a few days before she was willing to hold him. But she does love her baby brother!

 

 

 

 

Home Sweet Home

The kids helped make a "Welcome Baby" banner for when we came home from the hospital.

P3 is already quite the character! He pulls a lot of silly faces. He often looks surprised. PE took him out into the garage one time and came back laughing because P3 had this look on his face that said "Help, I'm being abducted!"

 

 

P3 took his binky really well for the first week or two. And then he decided he didn't like it.

 

 

 

While I was scrubbing his head during one of his sponge baths, all the hair on the top of his head fell off. Poor little guy!

My 3 little turtles:

More silly faces:

 

 

At 9 days old I took P3 with me to get my Remicade infusion. I had to stop during my last trimester and my doctor wanted me back on it as soon as the baby was born. I was able to get it at my doctor's office instead of at an infusion center. It ended up being a lot nicer (more private) at the doctor's office. And also cost half as much!
