Another new video

We all know how much Avery loves her dumptruck. Yesterday we put Aaron in the bed of it and Avery pushed him all over the living room! She pushed Adam around later, which was so funny too! Here is the video of her pushing Aaron.

New Videos and Pictures!












I finally got new videos!


Aaron Spinning Like a Top: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9O9sbN1EYUQ


My nephew Tyler bought the kids a dump truck for their birthday. Avery LOVES it! She climbs up in it and just sits there! Occasionally her brothers will actually push her around---or we will, of course! Then, she gets mad when she can't get out. So, she either falls out or cries until we get her.





























The babies are eating with us at the dining room table now. Here is a picture of them in their highchairs at the table. Also, a picture of them having afternoon snack.

Avery Walking Video

I posted this on YouTube. Silly me--I recorded it with the camera sideways! I will do a new video tonight, but I know many of you are wanting to see her in action. Sorry you have to tilt your head!

The boys are taking a few steps too. I will try to get video of all of them!

Riding the Truck, New Shoes, and Corn on the Cob

Every day is a new adventure in our house! The babies are having so much fun, and so are we! We are constantly amazed at how much they are learning and how much they know already.



One of their birthday gifts from my best friend Denise was a "flute." It actually looks like the round instrument that you blow into to find the right pitch for singing. Adam can actually blow into it and make noise! He is so proud! (Denise also got them a drum and tamborine. We have our own little band! Each baby loves playing the instruments).



Avery is a natural at climbing on things. Taylor (our new nanny) got them a rocking horse for their birthday. Avery will actually hold on to the handle and throw her leg over to get on his back. Just like you would riding a real horse! She also does the same thing with a Tonka truck. Here is a picture of she and Aaron riding together.















Aaron is a FLIRT!! We went to a restaurant on Sunday, and every time this cute waitress walked by, he would smile and follow her with his head. So much so that he actually turned himself around in the high chair! Today at WalMart he also smiled really big at every girl that said "Hi" to him. He is such a character!

Here is a picture of the babies with their first walking shoes. The babies can walk around furniture and when holding on to fingers, but they each have only taken a few steps independently. I know it won't be long....Wow!















And finally, tonight at dinner I was eating corn on the cob. Avery and Aaron could do it too! They actually bit into the ear and pulled off corn kernels. It was so funny! Adam just looked at me like I was nuts for putting that thing up to his mouth!

Birthday Party Pictures

We've been so busy! It was a whirlwind getting ready for the birthday party, and then a week-long clean up session afterwards! The kids enjoyed their party so much! They got lots of clothes, which they needed since they are growing so fast, and a few toys that they just love.




Each baby had their own b-day cake. Of course Avery destroyed hers, but the boys were a little more timid.





















We went last week for their one-year checkup. The boys both weighed right at 20 lbs and were 30 in long. Avery weighed 18.3 and was 28 inches long. She is really small compared to them.

Also, last week Shelley B. came from Commanche with her triplets and 4 year-old daughter. Here is a picture of the 7 of us!
