My Three.

Here are some moments recently captured by my iPhone.

#1. Calin LOVES to learn. Lately he's been asking us to sit down with him and help him learn how to read. It's adorable. I love that he is the one pushing us to help him learn instead of the other way around. Here is a cute video of Calin and Jordan. Jordan made up this little story to help Calin sound out the word correctly and learn the vowels. Have I mentioned this kid can count to 100? I hope he never looses his love for learning!!


#2. Capri has been loving all of her Christmas presents. She got these cute cupcake shape sorters to go with her kitchen and I think they have become her new favorite thing. She even sleeps with them. The other day she put together a cupcake party for us. It was so cute! She put all the cupcakes on plates and set the table. Then she told me she needed to get her dress on for the party :)
She is finally letting me put her hair into pigtails. Only the back is long enough so she still gets a headband which makes her happy. She loves her headbands. Lately she's been really into doubling up on headbands and it's adorable! I think she will be much more sylish than her mama. She is always coming up with cute things that I never even thought of. Last time I painted her toes (I wish I had a picture!) she told me she wanted all her toes pink with white "poke-a-nuts" (polkadots) only on the big toe and silver sparkles over the pink on her small toes. It turned out so cute, and it was all her own idea. It's so fun having a girl!
Today is Sunday and our ward just switched to 11:30 (though next week it will change to 10:30 Yay). The kids are so tired when we get home, but by the time they finish eating it's too late for a nap. Today while I blogged I put on Cinderella for Capri (her recent favorite) and for the first time ever she fell asleep on the couch. Isn't she cute all snuggled in her blanket :)

Yesterday Calin went to his friend Boston's birthday party. Capri loves Boston and if she didn't have a cold I probably would have let her tag along with the boys, but instead we had our own ice cream date to coldstone. I have decided I need to have more ice cream dates with this girl! Yum!

#3. Taylor is growing so big so fast! We just love him to pieces! He's so good! Still sleeps all the time, rarely ever complains about anything, loves to cuddle, and smiles a lot. He grew out of nb clothes (the few that ever fit him at all) at 2 weeks. He's also outgrown some of his 0-3mo clothes. This outfit in the photo below is 3-6months and fits perfectly (weird how every brand has such different sizing). Here are some pictures of him smiling that I've snapped over the past couple weeks.

He started smiling at Jordan when he'd come home from school when he was 1 wk old and has been smiling more and more every day. And do you see that cute little dimple on his right cheek :) Adorable.


Here's a video of him smiling. My little helper in this one is Capri

This is Taylor's favorite way to sleep (when he's not swaddled). Knees tucked up, feet crossed, and right hand up by his hear. Always perfectly posed. It's my favorite.

Calin and Capri have been SO good with Taylor. They LOVE him so much! And are very helpful! And not overly helpful. It's been wonderful and I'm enjoying it while it lasts :) I was trying to get a video of Taylor during tummy time, but Capri kept getting in my way, or trying to lift his head for him, and in this one she kept stepping on me. I love it though because she does this "Huh? What?" thing ALL the time.

Wow! Claims reading skills are impressive! Capris piggy tails are adorable and Taylor's smile is the best. What a great bunch you have there!

Claims? Autocorrect for Calin
