Monkey See, Monkey Do

"Hmm...I saw Logan climbing this, wonder if I can..."





"Yep...I, too, now know how to climb the OUTSIDE of the playpen!"

Yummy Dresser

This past weekend we gave Aunt JuJu a bucket of toys. As I was wrapping it all up the babies (who have millions of toys of their own) watched every move that I made and seemed sad to see the toys go. I had duplicates of some at home that I was saving for another gift but I decided to open them up and give them to our babies. Each one got a new toy. They played with them for about 10 seconds and then were back playing with the plastic hangers, and Lathan with the knobs on the dresser! Gotta love em!

More Multitasking

Bathtime is about the only time that all three sit
still long enough to brush their teeth!

New Tricks at Lunch Time...

Galleria & Cheesecake Factory

Today I packed up the little ones and took them to the Galleria. We did a little shopping and then met up with Maw Maw and Grandpa for dinner at The Cheesecake Factory. This is one of Patrick and my favorite restaurants, in fact tonight Patrick was just suggesting that we not teach the babies to "use their inside voices", but rather to use their "Cheesecake voices". (Lauren has a tendency to squeal rather loudly when she is happy which is interesting when we are out to eat!)

Here are some of the pics from today:

Lathan, Logan & Lauren

Isn't MawMaw sweet...she shared her Banana Cheesecake with Lathan!

We parked in our favorite spot at Neiman's but we hadn't parked there since we had the babies. We had no idea there wasn't a ramp for the stroller!

Daddy pushing the stroller down the stairs!!!

Now I'm off to pack our bags for a weekend trip to Stephenville...yeehaw!

Lathan

I just realized that I made a post about Lauren and one about Logan but that Lathan hasn't gotten his little synopsis. And since I just posted about his new "fits" I feel that I should also let you know that although Lathan has somewhat of a temper, he is also, by far, the most cuddly, gentle and tenderhearted of the trio.

Lathan sleeps next to me at night, and loves to be spooned. He'll grab my hand to rub his face and at the same time will rub my cheek. He's just so sweet! During the day his pacifier gets stolen probably every 10 seconds but he rarely ever takes anything from anyone else (even if it was his to begin with). And if he does end up taking something (ex. a toy) and the other baby cries, he quickly gives it back and moves on.

He is SUPER smart, VERY vocal and ADORES his Aunt Pammie. He LOVES his paci, says "Momma" all the time and has the sweetest giggle. He is the largest of the three weighing in almost 4 pounds heavier than Lauren (the smallest). We LOVE our Lathan!!!





Here's Lathan Making Silly Faces In The Bathtub (I tried to censor out some of his "little general" but I ended up censoring the whole clip...oh well, at least I covered too much instead of not enough!)

Spiderman

I believe Separation Anxiety is in full force at our house.

Right now we're in a phase where both Lauren and Lathan want to be held 24 hours a day. The real catch is that if I put either one down to do anything else (feed, change, bath) or heaven forbid walk out of their sight, they literally scream. I think that Lauren may just be copying Lathan because if I look at her during the scream she cracks up laughing. Lathan on the other hand is completely serious and has started to pitch fits, arching his back and stomping his feet if he doesn't get his way. Then there's Logan, who pretty much just sits back and watches Lathan and Lauren make fools of themselves! For the most part, he is very much the most easy going of the three, only his new thing is to climb, which really keeps us on our toes.

Here he is climbing the OUTSIDE of the playpen. (He's got lots of other Spiderman moves, they just usually happen too quickly for me to (safely) grab the camera!)

He's just so cool!

Loggie Bear

How appropriate...Loggie Bear pants!!!

Sweet Boys

(As I worked hard to recover the family room toy box, the boys worked hard at UNCOVERING it...and they look so innocent!!!)

St. Patrick's Day

Since the babies all got sick (Logan, who had stayed healthy this whole week, woke up with a fever this morning), we never got a chance to take our St. Patrick's Day picture and mail out our greeting cards. We went ahead and dressed them up in their green outfits for a quick picture. It'll have to do until next holiday!!!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Lathan, Lauren & Logan (who you can tell doesn't feel his best)

Welcome Home Logan!!!

Yesterday, the stomach bug that had attacked poor Lauren & Lathan got me, too. We had a rough day taking turns being sick. Logan on the other hand, was his normal happy self and since we wanted to keep him that way (nice and healthy) and give him a break from his extra boring roommates, we shipped him off to stay the night with Aunt Pammie.

He must have had fun, he came home this afternoon smiling from ear to ear with new toys from Target (and I'm told there was ice cream involved!).

It seems like everyone is feeling much better today and we plan on keeping it that way!

We missed Logan TERRIBLY...it just wasn't the same last night without him. Welcome home little Loggie!!!



***And thank you to Aunt Pammie and Granny for helping us out last night. Aunt Pammie gave up a night of her Spring Break to take care of Logan and Granny came over to help us with the other two, the dishes and the laundry...VERY NICE!!!***

Lathan slept pretty well last night (Tuesday), but Lauren was up a lot running a fever and throwing up.

Here she is watching Extra and catching up on her celebrity gossip at 1:45am (she had some serious bedhead!).









Logan is one tough cookie and hasn't slowed down one bit and the other two had a pretty good day (once they finally woke up at about 3pm!)

Thank goodness Grammie has been on Spring Break all week and has been able to come over each day and help hold and comfort babies...what would we do without her!?!?!

And as a special treat tonight, Patrick and I went to the rodeo with tickets to see Rascal Flatts (my FAVORITE!). Instead, Rascal Flatts had to cancel and Joe Nichols, Jack Ingram and Clay Walker filled in. The concert was terrible but it was VERY nice to go out, just grownups. Grammie once again helped us out and watched the babies. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU Grammie - you're the best!!!

Invasion

A stomach bug has invaded our house and is after our little ones. :(

So far, its gotten Lathan & Lauren. Logan has been spared so far, but considering we found Lathan's paci in his mouth and he stole Lauren's spoon last night, I think its only a matter of time.

Here Lathan sips his Bubble Gum Pedialyte with a cool wash rag on his forehead to help his fever, poor guy.

Yee Haw!

What a great weekend! On Saturday, Patrick and I had a booth at the Mom's Of Multiples Buy/Sell and were able to clear out lots of the baby stuff that we no longer need. I had a really hard time letting go of some of the smaller infant clothes but we now have more room and we made some extra $$$.

Later that afternoon, we got our little ones dressed and ready for the RODEO!!!

We made a stop at Papasitto's for a late lunch...

Lathan (His new favorite - flour tortillas, Logan's new favorite - CHARRO BEANS!!!)



Captain Kurt and Aunt Natalie joined us for lunch and then we all piled (literally) into our Explorer and we were on our way!




Logan & Aunt Natalie




This was the babies first concert (Martina McBride)

Logan, Lauren & Lathan




Logan & Captain Kurt, Lauren & Daddy, Lathan & Aunt Natalie



The music was actually very loud so we spent most of the time watching (and listening) through the glass doors.

Lauren & Daddy Watching the Finale Fireworks



Once the concert was over, we met Aunt Pammie and Jason outside at the Carnival.

Logan & Jason, Lathan & Aunt Pammie



No rides for the babies this year but they did enjoy a carmel apple!



We had so much fun and we want to thank Mr. Rick for making it all possible!!!


On Sunday we went to Granny and Grandpa's for dinner. We sat outside by the pool and enjoyed the nice weather.

The boys would have jumped into the water if we would have let them. Instead, since the water was a little chilly, Daddy held on to them and let them splash!

Lauren (She preferred to stay dry!)



When the sun went down it started getting cool, so we moved the party inside and enjoyed a little television.

Now we're home, the babies and Daddy are all asleep and I'm off to join them!
