the cutest piece of mail ever....


Everyone should receive their invites this week. I mailed them on Monday. I love how they turned out!! We are getting so excited for their birthday. I think I have everything planned and all the decorations bought. We've been practicing eating Cool Whip so hopefully they will understand that their cupcakes are great! 

What they are doing:
Madi is walking with us holding her hands. She walked all the way from the living room to our bathroom the other night. She crawls everywhere now and will follow me. She is holding her bottle herself but not all the time. She really wants to feed herself. When you make her mad she hits two times. If you make her really mad, she hits 4 times. She crinkles her nose and blows air out loudly when she is coming to get you or just being silly. 
Gracie is talking so much these days. She can roll over and move around with her leg braces on. She will pack her mouth full of food she does not like and will not swallow. Once you realized what she has done, she starts crying and spits it all over you. She starts screaming when she is hungry and won't stop until she has had at least 4 bites. She responds when you say her name. 
Brody talks all the time. He makes noises as if he is driving a car or a boat.... which ever :)  He loves to eat and will eat just about anything. He is now the easiest to feed. He rolls around on the floor like it is no body's business. His hair is so long... it actually goes over the collar of his shirt and is so thick. It completes his natural surfer swagger. He is so ticklish and his laugh is so contagious. He does defend himself sometime from his sisters but for the most part he will let them do whatever to him. He can do much more than he likes you to believe. He can sit and stand but will scream the entire time. He is starting to put his hands up when he wants to be picked up. 

We are progressing right along. I'm sure there are babies that are doing more or less than they are but we are very proud and happy at where they are. They have really closed the gap on a lot of things in a very short amount of time.
