Random Pictures

The girls still swarm to Brady whenever they can - we really thought the newness and excitement of his presence would wear off with them - but it certainly has not!! They just love their baby brother so much...

--

I had been feeding Brady and the girls wanted me to take their picture and, of course, I obliged! The top picture is Bella with Brady and the other is Brooklyn with Brady.

Family Movie Night

--

We noticed that the local movie theater was showing Monsters vs. Aliens and we decided to take the kids and go one Monday night. We grabbed a quick bite to eat first and then headed to the theater (it is a tiny theater only showing one movie). Besides our family of five, there were only three other people there (which is why we knew it would not be a big deal to take a 4 month old with us). Bella is a movie-buff - she loves them and loves going to the "moomie feater"! Brooklyn is another story - we learned again that she just isn't ready for the movie theater - she and Brannon went back and forth to the bathroom during the majority of the movie! Brady was pretty content through most of the movie - but did get restless towards the end. I thought the movie was a cute movie! It was fun, but I doubt that we'll be doing it again any time soon!

3 Little Monkeys!

--
It was the best one that I got - two out of three looking at the camera isn't too bad, I guess!

Happy Friday!

Meeting the Easter Bunny

--
The Easter Bunny was in Atmore last Saturday. Mi-Mi and I took the kids to "meet" him. Bella ran right to him and hugged him and then had a little chat with him. Brady was fine in the Easter Bunny's arm for a quick picture. Brooklyn would have absolutely nothing to do with him. When he got close to her, she was literally shaking! In order to get a picture of her, the Easter Bunny had to go outside and wave at the cars passing by!

Floor Time

--
Floor time for Brady typically turns into floor time for everyone to see who can smother love Brady the most. On this particular day - Brooklyn was the most loving.

Bella did join on the floor..

The kids and their Pop

Bowling

--
We went bowling this past Saturday!! This was a first for the girls and the first time we've been bowling since we had kids...
--

Brooklyn became disinterested pretty quickly and had more fun climbing the stairs and the rails!
--

Brady was unimpressed and slept for the majority of the time!

Trying to get one with all three....

Missing!

--
I seem to have lost my babies and they've been replaced with:
--
A 3-month old baby boy who is already wearing some 6-9 month clothes!! No longer considered a "newborn" but now is an "infant"!
--
--

A 2-year old little girl - not a baby, not even a toddler - a little girl! A mischievous little girl, at that!

--

--
A 3-year old who is writing and spelling her name and who will start kindergarten in one short "school" year!

A Typical Evening

My friend Lesley posted this POST almost a month ago and I could totally relate to the pictoral of her morning! I thought I'd post a pictoral of my evenings...not every evening - but the below can be found occurring at our house at some point each evening!

I, like Lesley, often do not see the humor in this - but perhaps you will!

The Kids

--
The girls just love Brady and if we lay him down anywhere - they swarm towards him! I had him on the couch and first Bella climbed next to him and then Brooklyn had to join them as well!

The kids

--

The girls continue to be great big sisters to Brady! They have not shown any signs of jealousy or meanness towards him (wish I could say the same about their behavior towards each other sometimes)! They just won't leave him alone - always wanting to love, hug or hold on to their brother! We, of course, do not discourage it at all - if they ask to hold him, they get to hold him! Here are a few pics from recent weeks!
