The ever coveted shots of the 3 little wild birds all together
Liam is always on the go go go! And isn't always interested in posing for pics with his little sis and bro so whenever I am able to capture all three, it's awesome!!

The babes
Sam and Daisy are 8 months!
Daisy's 2 bottom teeth are poking through, shes a tough little thing, no change in sleeping , no extra fussiness, none of that. the only difference an dmay be a little more drooling and chewing. Daisy has become adventurous the past few weeks, zipping through the house on her tummy,chasing after woodrow and moejoe and liam. The girl is quick! She pushes up on her hands and knees but i think shes realized that since shes already so good at the belly crawl that, whats the point of getting her knees all red and briused up from crawling on them? lol
She and Sam have interacting a lot. I catch them smiling and laughing with/at each other all the time. Yesterday when Jill was here for Liam's therapy session, I peeked in to the sunroom where the twins were and found Daisy on her back, and Sam has crawled completely on top of her. She didnt mind at all! they were talking to each other and holding hands. SO CUTE.
This week Sam has started trying to sit up. He pushing up fomr a hands and knees position and gets on nhis bum, leaning on one arm. Hes able to get back to the hands and knees posino fairly well and so far hes only fallen back a few times but its been on soft surfaces thankfully.
I have also caught him pulling up on to his knees. i wonder if he will ever really get the crawling down , he may just start pulling up then walking instead? who knows. he gets around though not as fast as daisy but he manages to scoot around as he tries crawling, slowly but surely.
The babes have graduated from baby food already if you can believe it. They're hungry! (especially daisy, which is mostly why we moved froward with more substantial foods)
So far we are eating diced up, avocados,tomatoes, potatoes, and bananas. Throw in some peas, some toast with jam cut up really small, and an array of crackers in the mix. Oh, and oatmeal. We're still doing some baby food but we're moving on up with the real food. next up, brown rice and beans! maybe some broccoli cooked super soft. :)
Liam has been doing well with therapy. we are practicing PECS (picture exchange communication system). I say practicing but hes pretty much got it down pat. anytime we introduce a new picture/object, it only takes him a few tries before he knows what to do and what he wants.
We've been playing in his little pool outside alot. I swear hes part fish, he loves the water so much.
Hard to belive, but my little liam, love of my life, will be 3 in about a month. that same week he starts the headstart program in school.crazy! i think it will be a bit of a "transition" for the first month but it will be really good for him and i think he will really like it.
TJ was in town recently and Liam had a fun time playing with him the few times he came over with grandma. It was nice to see Liam interacting well with another kid around his age.
Hes been doing really well on the gfcf diet too. we meet with a pediatrician in September who specializes in this type of diet with kids so we can get some more advice, and guidance as we move forward.
Liam has been showing more interest in the twins, feeding them bits of food when they are in their high chairs and also handing them toys when they are all playing. Both Sam and Daisy LOVE watching Liam play, run, jump, babble, they love big brother!

Sam sits up
we're up....and we're down....and we're up again!
Go Sammy!
Go Sammy!
Samuelito is also pulling up on things, not on his feet just yet but up an don his knees. Found him doing this in his crib so we'll have to put the crib mattress down a notch today. He set out to prove us wrong! haha we all though miss Daisy would be the first with most milestones but so far Sam has gotten his teeth first, rolling from back to tummy and tummy to back, started pushing up on his hands and knees and now siting up and pulling up too. What a little so and so ;)
But, Daisy has the belly crawl aka the seal, down to a science. Shes been mobile for a few months now! Shes FAST too. Will be posting video soon.

4th of July
Jason has been off all week, and its been great to have an extra set of hands around. I have been getting a little bit of extra sleep, a ton of help with the 100 kitchen cleanups a day, and have been spoiled with omelettes for breakfast and yummy delicious dinners , all thanks to Daddy.
I say this a lot, but man, i love a guy who can cook well and enjoys doing it too.
The babies, and Liam have loved having a whole bunch of daddy time. All and all this little stay-cation has been lovely, for us anyway. haha i think for Jason, he may be working more just being here all day everyday than he does at his regular 9-5. No joke.
Dont go back to work Daddy! ;)
For the 4th, we went over to Amys house (Jasons big sis) and spent the day with her and her family (Darryl - the husband, and their 3 girls Tiffany, Kami and Ana), Jasons parents and Rosemary.
Liam LOVES LOVES LOVES his cousins AND both of his aunts so any visit to aunt Amys is always a fun one.
Liam got to play int he sprinklers, and jump on the trampoline and have a ton of playtime with his cousins.
The babies love all of the extra attention too, of course. I totally should have taken more pics but i didn't. Daisy was extra cute wearing a big blue flower on her head, similar to this one:
How cute is that?
Sammy was in his red white and blues , looking dapper and channeling his inner most Einstein hairdo.
We got home faily early and just spent the evening getting babies to bed and drinking a few beers. Jason made his delicious homemade pizza and we watched this really cool documentary on London. Then the fire works started (which we watched on tv. haha) and i prayed that my nieghbors would not go crazy with their own fireworks and poppers and wake the babies up. Thankfully, there were only a few set off and it was on the other side of the house and all childrens stayed alseep.
the things that we think about now as parents! Cars driving by with bass booming, sirens, dogs barking incessantly, daddy in the kitchen and fireworks! All my enemies during naptime and bedtime.
