feeding the duckies

We haven’t blogged in a while, mainly because we’re chasing three very active kids.

Nathan

Nathan is about 7 1/2 months old and is on the move. He went from barely being able to sit by himself to crawling and pulling himself up to standing in what seemed to be a blink of an eye. He just may be our earliest walker yet (and we thought Annalise was early when she took her first step on her 9 month birthday.). He wants to walk so badly! His favorite pastime nowadays is standing in front of one of us and letting go, seeing how long he can stay standing by himself.

Sean

Sean is 2 1/2 years old and is such a joy. He is quite the talker and sometimes we even understand him! He loves his baby brother and is always talking to and playing with him. He also loves his big sister Annalise and will do everything she does. He is just about as tall as her (less than an inch separates them) and we are constantly asked if they are twins. He’s a great snuggler too (that’s Mommy’s favorite part).

Annalise the Ballerina

Annalise is now 3 1/2 years old and is quite the princess — though if you actually call her “princess” she’ll deny it: “I’m not a princess, I’m Annalise”. She insists on picking out her own outfits, and if Mommy tries to help she will definitely point out if something doesn’t match. She also wants to wear all pink, all the time. Now, if only she’d let Mommy put pretty things in her hair! (Although she’s getting better with that too.) She can’t wait to start pre-school in the fall and already has picked out her “Disney Fairies” backpack (which is just about as big as she is!).

Annalise and Sean are taking a dance class over the summer (well, more of a “jump and play around while there is music in the background” class). Annalise loves her ballerina outfit and shoes! They both look so cute dancing around.

Fred and Ginger, eat your hearts out!
