All about the love

Babies are really starting to share their emotions.  Danny loves to give kisses and delivers them with a big smile, a happy coo sound, and lots of slobber.  Elsie has caught on and not to be left behind has joined in the fun.  She is more of a quick peck vs. Danny's marathon slobberfest.  Sammy is more of a hugger, he will kiss you but much prefers a snuggle.  They are also loving each other a lot more.  When one cries they pat them, touch their hands, and kiss each other.  Of course sometimes they are crying because they've been kicked, had their hair pulled, toy stolen, whacked on the head with aforementioned stolen toy, etc.

We had our first swim lesson last week!  They LOVED it.  Elsie was a little cautious at first, but loosened up by the end of class.  Danny relaxed enough to float on his back.  Sammy kicked his feet, splashed with joy and stuck his face in several times.  I got a few pics, but hopefully I can get a bunch more this week.  I will be a spectator instead of a participant this week since I got my gall bladder out today.  I'm looking forward to some cool pics and a video or two.

Getting ready in the locker room!

Not sure who looks more nervous

Grammy and Danny

you're going to hold me the whole time right Grammy?

The babies are also moving and shaking a lot more.  They definitely understand the word DANCE, and shake and bounce when you say it.  They also dance when you sing or they hear music.  I love watching them learn new things.  They look so excited when they figure something out.

We are getting closer and closer to walking.  Danny has been getting braver about free standing, he does it often for 1-2 seconds.  All 3 are getting really good at cruising, and are moving from object to object more confidently.

Here are some pics!

He looks so much bigger than her

Love this photo!  The boys sitting together <3

Hard to get all 3 together these days, so I'll take it even if some are blurry

They are trying to touch Yoshi who is trying to hide on the couch

Yoshi tries kissing them to death as a deterrent 

Yes that is my knee.  Yes that means all 3 babies are on me.

They are like little zombies attacking me when I am on the floor

Danny can I have the remote?  No.  Daddy and I are watching the Bruins.

Playing with Kileah at the birthday party

He loves clapping.  Notice he is free standing and clapping.  

They love laundry

Sammy

This hair is crazy

My Schroeder from Peanuts.  Lays down to play the piano.

He makes this face a lot.  Especially when he sees his siblings being naughty.

His new swing trick. Part 1, stand and hold swing.

Part 2, lift feet off and swing with swing.

Part 3, live dangerously.

Sammy loves helping with laundry
