The boys love taking baths, especially now that they have gotten so big that we have to use the infant tub (we were previously able to use the big sink in our master bathroom for all of them)- they LOVE the water and it makes me so excited to introduce the boys to swimming this summer!!
Yesterday was an especially wonderful day- all of the boys were talking and cooing like crazy. Sidney actually woke up from his morning nap long before the other two, so he got some one on one time with both Jason and me. Our little pumpkin chose to spend that time letting us know what was on his mind!!
The boys are definitely discovering their voices now. Instead of an alarm in the mornings, I now usually wake up to the sound of babies cooing to each other in their cribs. Jenson is my little baby bird with his high-pitched squeals and shrieks. You seriously think he's upset sometimes when you hear them until you get a peek at the absolute delight on his face. He apparently likes to amuse himself (and us, and probably any dog within a five mile radius given how high-pitched he can be at times) with how high and loud he can shriek!
Elliott's voice is soft, soft, soft. He is such a gentle spirit and his voice can sound just like velvet. He isn't usually as big a talker as his brothers, but he has no problem getting his point across. His voice usually makes me think of a gentle, babbling stream in the woods- soft, peaceful, soothing. Unfortunately I've had a tough time getting his soft voice on video, but I do have this...
Sidney's voice is low in pitch and he seems to delight in what I can only describe as chanting. This kid loves to talk- he talks to us, he talks to his toys, and he talks to the dogs. Yesterday, we even had a little "meta" moment. I replayed a video to him that showed him cooing into the camera. Would you believe that he started to coo right back to it?!?
Jason and I took the boys and the dogs for a walk yesterday afternoon after their bottles. We bundled them into their triplet stroller- the boys, not the dogs. We haven't used the triplet stroller in a month or so (it's probably going to be used much more once they are able to sit up on their own), and I was shocked to see how much better they fit into it now. Our boys are getting so dang big! They actually stayed awake for most of the long walk around the neighborhood and had a fun time greeting the people we ran into...

My mom and I took the boys to the Folsom Outlet mall for a little shopping trip. It was fun to "pull over" and give the boys their bottles at the end of the trip. Here we are with our two strollers...
Elliott helped me bring the garbage cans up from the curb, but first we had to throw on our sunglasses. This is one good-looking kid!

Morning stories with Daddy
Pre-walk
(Sidney, Elliott, Jenson)
During the walk
Post-walk: only Elliott was able to make it through the entire walk without falling asleep!
Sidney
(Note his "duck fluff" hair! All three boys lost most of the hair they were born with,
and now it's growing back in super quickly and looking just like Sid's)
Elliott
Jenson
(he is loving his Bumbo chair! This kid loves nothing more
than to be seeing the world from a sitting position)
Our newest activity- sitting in our Bumbo chairs on opposite sides of the
activity gym so that our toys are right at eye level. We're getting to be
champs at holding our heads up straight!
Your boys are absolutely adorable! And you look great!
ReplyDeleteI clicked on the video of Jenson squealing and, indeed, the dog woke up from a dead sleep to find out what the heck was calling him! He just may have a future as a dog caller! :-)
