Today marks the day that we have had our sweet beautiful babies for 7 months! Oh the time has flown!!! I feel like it was just yesterday that we were in the hospital waiting to find out if we were going to have the babies or if they would cooperate and stay in for just 48 more hours! Needless to say they decided to make their appearence on July 26, 2012 at 6:56pm, 6:57pm and 6:58pm. They were all born with their eyes wide open just looking at me. Hunter had a fohawk in his hair :) We stayed in the NICU for 9 days and got to know our beautiful babies. Since that amazing day they have grown and tripled in size! Appropriate I think haha! It's hard to believe that the babies used to fit in my tummy.....together!
Gunner is 17lbs, 8oz, and 27inches long. He is my big happy boy. He has the softest and chubbiest cheeks I love to rub my face against his. He is happy and laughing all the time. He is so strong he is standing when you hold him and we expect him to be our first crawler.....he is on the verge. He can sit up by himself for about 10 minutes before he falls over. He is doing the bridge with his butt in the air while on his tip toes funny boy! He loves to play with toys, tonight we caught him rolling and scooting over to Hunter and Maarii and taking their toys. Twice he grabbed Hunter's pacifier out of his mouth, Hunter was like "hey thats mine and it's not for chewing on!" He loves to swing the rattle and other toys and bang it against his leg he thinks it is funny. He loves to sit at the new toy that makes music and press all the buttons he looks like such a big boy doing it. He is our mischevious little monkey! He giggles and laughes so much. He is all over the place, I am worried how much more he will get into once he actually starts crawling there will be no stopping him! His hair has started to grow and it is like his daddy's straight and sticks out all over the place especially after bath time. He looks the most like Josh and is such a busy guy. He is sure that at all meal times I am going to forget to feed him, so he makes sure to let me know that is it eating time!! He wants to hold the bottle and the spoon when he is eating and gets to sit in the wooden high chair because he sits up the best. He laughs and talks all day and has discovered his tongue so he will stick it out and roll it around. Gunner will be our little trouble maker.
Gunner in front in the first picture in the 2nd picture you can see his hands on Hunter's back "here brother let me hold you up or maybe push you down!"
Hunter is15lbs 15oz and 27inches long. He is our very serious mama's boy. Hunter is very attached to his mama, currently he will sleep only with me after about 3 hours in his crib. He wakes up and is VERY loud our little yeller we call him. The instant I pick him up he is sound asleep again on my shoulder, he won't even fall for my trick of putting him in the pack and play next to my bed.... little stinker. Hunter is our little red head his eyes have stayed very bright blue while the other 2 have a little brown in theirs. He has started rolling over and can now move all over the room to get where he wants to go. He is our only baby that really likes his pacifier or as Uncle Nick calls it "the sucker" but I am thankful that he takes it when he is super grumpy. He can now pick the sucker up and put it in his mouth all by himself, such a talented boy! He is sitting up but only with help and still pretty wobbly. The sure way of turning his frown upside down is to hang him upside down! I know weird right.....but he LOVES it! He likes to hang his head upside down off your lap and likes to kick his legs so we have to make sure we hang on to him! He will hang their until all the blood rushes to his face but he never complains......good thing mama pays attention to things like that. He is going to be our dare devil! Hunter doesn't like Gunner or Maarii to touch him he complains if they get to close. But he loves to be with big brother Noah, all the babies do. Hunter is happy as long as he can see me so he spends a lot of time in his chair or now his high chair in the kitchen. He is our best eater of food, he gets impatient when I am giving Gunner and Maarii bites. He likes to talk when he eats but he is picky and doesn't like green beans. Hunter is our little crabby boy.
Maarii is 17lbs and 4oz and 27.75inches long. She is our beautiful sweet girl. She is such a happy camper loves to just go with the flow. She loves all 3 of her brothers and is a daddy's girl. She just lights up when he walks into the room. She was the first to get teeth, she got her 2 front lower teeth in. They are so cute you can see them when she smiles now. She rolls all over the place just like her brothers, she is usually trying to get closer to one of them. When she is excited she lays on her back and kicks her legs and lifts her butt up in the air, all the while growling and laughing. She loves to talk to her brothers and growls at them like she is bossing them around, today Gunner and her were talking to each other from their sitters. Her favorite toy is her soft pink elephant blanket she likes to rub it on her face. She is thinking about crawling and will do the bridge with her head and arms down on her tip toes with her butt up in the air. She also likes to sit up but needs assistance so she doesn't fall over. She is a little shy with strangers and wants to be with us, but she loves to smile at them from a distance. She is a major thumb sucker, her thumb actually has a callous on it from sucking it so much. As long as she isn't in high school sucking her thumb haha! Her new favorite thing to do is lay on her tummy in the family room and look out the window at the puppies. She laughs and talks to them and gets so excited when they look at her through the window.....sounds like Heidi and Hasslehoff have a new best friend in the making! I know I am biased but we call her our prettiest girl in the whole world! Her hair has gotten so long and dark, I am contemplating barretts soon. I just love this girl!
Noah we can't forget the big brother who will be 14 in April! WOW! Noah is an AMAZING big brother!!! He loves the babies so much, he has been so helpful to me by holding and entertaining the babies so I can make dinner or take a shower :) He loves to hold them and they LOVE him too! They get so excited when he walks in the door after school. Noah is super sweet and will go in and get the babies up out of their cribs in the morning when he hears them crying. He can make them laugh he loves to cuddle them at night before bed. He will take them into his room and let them watch tv with him. One special moment was when he told some friends he was playing a game online with that he was holding his 6 month old brother, he tried to act all cool but you could tell how proud he was! He also tells the babies that he loves them when he thinks nobody is looking, sweet boy.
