another month has flown by and all the kids can talk about is their birthday. i'm not sure they really understand that it's three months away. they've also requested that santa bring them birthday crowns for their 5th birthday.
due to their new school schedule, jacks and liv no longer have afternoon naps. while this is nice because bedtime is a breeze each evening, by friday they are totally exhausted! livi has also officially stopped wearing pull-ups at night - woohoo! jacks has been out of them for several months, so now lyla is the only one left with diapers to deal with!
lyla continues to move backwards when on her belly, but we think she's pretty close to crawling. she adores her new roommates and can even fall asleep in the same room with the twins when they are still chatting in bed. she does end up in our bed between 5am and 6am each morning, and will either drift back to sleep or - my favorite - get up on her hands and knees and rock back and forth, which is quite distracting when i'm trying to get a few more minutes of sleep before livi inevitably joins us in bed!
 |
| not much space left on this chair anymore! |
 |
| the pelle trio |
 |
| lyla is such a trooper |
 |
| all by herself for once |
 |
| lyla is on the move |
 |
| she's not the most graceful |
 |
| but she's quite the model! |
 |
| livi and i are off to the airport for a special date |
 |
she was so patient as we waited
to board the plane for burbank |
 |
| seat belts on and ready to go! |
 |
| meanwhile, back at home things got crazy! |
 |
| jacks got to choose which park they went to |
 |
| they met up with a friend and got an ice cream treat |
 |
| the highlight of livi's trip was probably diana's cat |
 |
we may have also stopped for some ice cream
(shocking, i know) |
 |
| we snapped a picture of us at the house i grew up in |
 |
pad thai, an avocado and milk...
dinner of champions! |
 |
| livi was in heaven with candy and cartoons |
 |
| getting ready for bed |
 |
| john likely cracked open a beer after this one passed out |
 |
| these three headed out sunday morning to visit a special friend |
 |
| jacks was thrilled to ride the bus to leanne's new place |
 |
| yogurt smoothie...yes please! |
 |
| beached whale on leanne's couch |
 |
livi had a wonderful start to her morning with cheerios
on diana's couch...with more cartoons |
 |
after some initial anxiety about our girls' trip, liv had a great idea to stay
another night (i wonder if it was the chocolate chip pancakes) |
 |
| saying farewell to nala |
 |
waiting for diana to drive ALL the way home from the
airport because we left livi's backpack (mom fail!) |
 |
we grabbed the backpack with 10 minutes to spare
and ran through the airport (thankfully they don't shut the
plane doors until 5 min before the departure time) |
 |
after the huge scare with a backpack left behind,
livi was reunited with baby and blankie |
 |
| she enjoyed pretzels and daniel tiger |
 |
| she insisted on pulling my bag...she looks so mature! |
 |
this was two minutes after getting in the car...
I guess she had a fun trip! |
 |
| they were so excited to be reunited |
 |
| livi gave jacks his gift (candy) and they sat and ate it together |
 |
| that afternoon we headed to the brady house for a bbq |
 |
| she was content but sleepy |
 |
| she actually fell asleep to really loud 90's hip-hop |
 |
our little angel amidst pure chaos
(aka livi showing odin and nat pictures of her trip with me!) |
 |
| on the 'bus' with all their luggage |
 |
look what the m&m fairy
left under the couch! |
 |
| making himself useful |
 |
| bubble mania |
 |
| perfecting her craft |
 |
| the classic lyla stare |
 |
| bones is obsessed with licking her mouth |
 |
with the help of a lot of tape, livi made
lyla a beautiful cape from burp cloths |
 |
| the queen of the dining table |
 |
| the whole gang in the morning |
 |
| the kids no longer nap during the week, but usually pass out on the weekend |
 |
| checking out gym class! |
 |
we had to hide from the sun at the park
during an SF heat wave |
 |
| these three were enjoying the sun |
 |
| our scooter monsters |
 |
| happy baby |
 |
| the fam |
