Papa and His Girls

Papa and She-She watched all 5 kids so we could celebrate Brook's birthday (thank you Dad and Shari)! At the end of the night, Papa was in Heaven as he was snuggled with his two granddaughters on the couch. Bankers was out like a light and Piper was content as could be since she as being cuddled by the fireplace. 

St. Patrick's Day

Now that we have 3 kids, St Patty's Day looked a little differently for us this year. Normally we would probably get a sitter and go out to celebrate. However, I am not ready to leave Piper yet, and honestly, now that we have three kids those days are no longer going to happen for quite some time. So instead of going out, we stayed in and "celebrated" at our house with our family. I wouldn't have it any other way right now :)

Spoiled With Cuddles

Piper is definitely loved, and a tad spoiled already. Between friends and family, Piper is constantly being cuddled or swooned over :) Daddy is already wrapped around her little finger.

I love how "Aunt" Dena always wants to be over here to help out. While we went to eat with Joe's family Friday night, she ASKED to watch Beau and Baine so we could have a relaxing dinner. What friend does that on a Friday night?! I am so blessed to have her :) But honestly, I think she liked watching Moana as much as the boys did with their time together.

Beauty and the Beast Movie Night

Last week, Brook, Banx, Beau, Piper and I went to see Beauty and the Beast. While Beau quickly became tired and little irritable, the girls absolutely loved the movie. It was so fun to get out of the house and have a date night with my family.

Fun With Babysitters

While I was at the spa with my mom and sister, Beau and Baine had Aubrey babysit. It was a great day for them to spend time with her since we haven't seen her in so long. They were able to be outside all day by playing at the park, feeding the ducks, and playing on the trampoline.

During spring break, Kaylee and Abby (our other babysitters) wanted to come over to meet Piper and play with the boys for the day. These girls are so amazing to our boys and we just adore them as much as they adore our kids! :)

Cheeser Baine

Baine Joseph, your personality is growing more and more every day. I love how spunky and happy you are. You are talking so much now, and it still makes me tear up. I didn't know how long it would take to finally hear you talk and now that we can, it is the best sound in the world :) This top picture describes you perfectly right now. You LOVE to wear your bathrobe all of the time, and you are always asking to eat cereal. 

When you are not going a mile a minute, you are such a hard sleeper and you snore just like your daddy! You are so loud it wakes mommy up :) Once in awhile you like to sneak into mommy and daddy's bed and while I used to not let this happen, I now cherish it because I realize someday you won't want to snuggle with us in bed anymore. I want these snuggles for as long as I can have them!

I always tease that you are my favorite Baine (don't worry Beau and Piper, you are my favorites too). But Baine, you have needed my direct attention for so long now while we worked on your hearing and speech therapy that I have developed a special attachment to you. I love that I see you growing in your development and cognitive skills. You have worked so hard and it makes me so proud of you to see the progress you have made. If you can make such great progress as a 1-2 year old, I can't even imagine what you will do as an adult. You can definitely do anything you put your mind to!
