Happy Easter!
M&M enjoyed their first public easter egg hunt.
Their first Easter bunny visit.
Performed an egg-periment, baby chicks hatching out of eggs soaked in water
Then they spent the morning taking care of their babies.

Carrie 4 months old and more!
Wow!
I cannot believe how fast time flies when it's not your first child. Four months. Crazy. The other day, Jenna was asking if C is getting teeth because of all the gnawing and drooling. I haven't even thought to check out her gums. Yep - two bottom teeth trying to poke through. With M&M I was peeking almost every day to check on the progress of teeth. Guess it's true what they say....third child's baby book is usually empty.
Anyway, here's the updates.

Carrie is 4 months old. She has started grabbing onto rings and toys and can grab her pacifier and put it back in her mouth (if it's facing the right way). She also can, unfortunately for her, pull it out of her mouth even when she wants it in.
Michael got his first barbershop haircut. He is talking up a storm and is a total ham. He truly enjoys interacting and making people laugh. He is playing make believe and is very good at independent play. He shows concern and compassion for others without being prompted. He now has the room all to himself (girls share a room) with a toddler bed and does really well with that. His terrible two's have started but are not that bad. He has stopped doing certain things himself (wiping his nose, picking up his dropped spoon) and wants us to do them for him. He is also doing wonderfully with potty training.
Malia is still in a crib, but now shares a room with Carrie. She can climb out of her crib, but she doesn't. She hasn't learned yet how to climb in her crib, which means Carrie is safe for now. :) She has really got the hang of potty training, and prefers the little one to the regular one. She just recovered from a terrible bout of stomach flu. The poor girl threw up 6 times in 12 hours. Malia enjoys nurturing Carrie and has named her baby doll "Baby Carrie". It's really heartwarming to see reflections of our parenting through their actions.
I am loving life right now. J and I are doing wonderfully. We've been able to go out twice without the kids since C was born. We have also started one on one time with each kiddo.

Baptism
I am getting so busy with kids, baby, work, and eating and sleeping. Ha!
Here are some pictures from Carrie's baptism. I will update on other events, eventually.
