May

They played with shaving cream the other day and loved it!! It was Kate's first time. This picture of her might be one of my favorites. She is so excited!!

 She is wearing what she calls her "princess". It's pj's with Ariel on them. Most nights after we put her to bed she digs it out of her dresser, takes off her pj's and puts this on. She has about a 50% success rate of actually getting it on properly.

Mason and I playing peek a boo.

Trying puffs for the second time.. doing much better and no gagging! 

What. Is. Happening..

April

Mason trying puffs for the first time - gagging like nobody's business... it didn't go well..

 It took him awhile to figure out how to roll over. He laid like this, on his side, for a long time before he actually was able to go all the way over.

 We made palm tree leaves at Easter, so obviously they had to be naked while running around screaming, "Hosanna! Hosanna!"

 Connor is so into sharks! At the zoo we had to go to the shark exhibit twice.

 My big superheroes!!

Mason laughing

Mason is so cute and loves to play with his Daddy! 

Please try to ignore the pink lovie next to my boy - we found it in the baby toys from Kate and he loves it! 

March

Mason is dominating baby food. He loves it and usually eats it as fast as baby humanly possible. 

 First time having carrots. Loves them!

Having a picnic in the living room while our kitchen and dining room was being redone!

Here is the before:

And here is the after! We got new granite countertops, a backsplash, a new sink and handles on the cabinets. I LOVE the fact that we can put Mason's seat on the island and get rid of the high chair!! And he loves to sit next to his brother and sister at the table like a big kid! 

And I also LOVE our new sink!! It is so big and beautiful! 

 First two teeth!!!

 Super heroes!! 

Here is a video of Mason doing his new favorite thing... screaming.. for fun. 

February

I know we aren't quite done with the month yet, but who am I kidding? It's now or never.

We went to the Children's Museum last week.

 I have never seen two kids love a baby more than these! :)

 Happy Valentine's Day!! Yes he needed a hair cut. We got one today!!

 It is finally above freezing so they got to play in the snow yesterday.

 Connor LOVES to play in the snow. (although he might love the fact that he gets hot chocolate when he comes in more..)

 See that little tiny patch of concrete below Kate? That is where she stood for 25 minutes.

 Then she went around the corner and was in actual snow.

 Then she cried and came inside. She said, "I don't like snow!"

 Then they got to go back out when Daddy got home!

January

I took the kids to Disney on Ice a couple weeks ago. It was Princesses and Heroes. Kate is WAY into Princesses and Connor just recently became WAY into Heroes (more like the Spiderman variety of Hero, but a good 'ol Prince was fine for him). 

 Apparently they are both in shock. 

 Kate actually looked like this for the first half of the show. She just stared and did not move or speak or show any emotion. The second half, however, was a different story. She LOVED it the second half. Every time a princess would skate by she would wave to them and say their name. She clapped for about 10 minutes without stopping. Here she is pointing to a princess. 

 Poor third kid hasn't made the blog in a while. Here he is.
