Cousins, cousins, cousins

I love to catch my kids asleep... so peaceful and sweet! My little baby Kate is already getting SO big! She is in the 93% for height and 95% for weight. She is VERY strong and very coordinated. Our pediatrician says to be on the look out for walking within the next few months... she suggested that Kate may just skip crawling and begin walking (which I did at 8 1/2 months). We'll see what happens. She is a very sweet and smiley little girl and we just love having her in our family! It has been especially fun to watch Kate and Jackson interact so much lately. They sure love each other! I love to listen to them giggle back and forth, doing silly things to make each other laugh. Life doesn't get any better than this... I LOVE being a MOM!!

We wanted to get pictures with the kids all together, but it's always a little (actually a lot) chaotic. It wasn't until almost 4pm that they were all awake and dressed at the same time, which meant the sun was right in their eyes. Maddie and Jackson were wiggly (as usual) and trying to do things to make the other one laugh. The little girls were not extremely thrilled that the sun was in their eyes... Kate was freezing about the time we finally got to just she and Jackson--it was only about 45 degrees outside, BURR!! It's fun to have them all together though, even if the pictures don't look professionally done.
