Update

I am not sure where or what we have been doing but we have been extremely busy here in the Patnode House. I haven't even been taking pictures. SO, here are a few from today and a little update on the kids:

Book time before Bath time (my favorite part of the day)!

Caroline In her favorite place...the wagon. She use to want to be pushed all the time, now all she wants to do is walk and push it.
Sweet, Sweet Caroline

Caroline is a love bug. She is very attached to her mommy but absolutely is in love with her father. Just the mention of Daddy sets her off in a tangent of , "Dada, Dada, Dada, Dada" until she finds him. Her world is complete when her brothers are with her, especially Joe. HOWEVER, she is a girl and is definately showing us that she is going to be a little on the emotional side. She is almost walking without any assistance...she is very cautious and is definatley not a risk taker in the motor department. She says, "Mama," "Dada," "Da (For dog)," "ma" for more, and signs please, help, out and more.

Joseph

Joe versus a fruit/cereal bar...this is what I clean up basically after each meal from him.

Sneaky, fast kid. I tried to get more shots of him crawling in and around the end table but he is so darn FAST!

Joe has been walking non-stop since he started. He likes to take laps around our main floor with toys in his had. He has started have some "lovely" tantrums and goes from 0-60 instantaneously. He loves books and dogs. He can say, "dog," "more," signs please, "dada" and has said "help" once.

JonathanHis pose when you say, "Say Cheese!"

He is just the funniest kids. He is talking in 5-7 word sentences (which the speech therapist in me is LOVING); is really into his independent play which gets interupted by his siblings to often; loves to color and play with playdough and has just started 'reading' books to himself and his brother and sister...very entertaining!
