The girls are so fun. I know I say that every time, but it's true! I love their unique personalities from one another and how they all interact. I feel so privileged to be their Momma and watch them explore the world and learn.


This month you have really started giving kisses on command and we absolutely LOVE it. You give kisses to everyone and love to kiss Emily a thousand times a day on her head. Madelynn, you give the sloppiest wet kisses and then you clap and say "good girl" after it. So funny!

You are all babbling like crazy! You never stop! I love it so much! You all are definitely developing your own language with each other.


I know I say this a lot, but I absolutely love watching your relationships develop with each other. It's so priceless! Such a wonderful gift to have each other forever and I hope you each value, respect and know just how lucky you are to have one another.

Right now you are all LOVINGLY OBSESSED with books! You all sit together in the corner and flip through books and babble to one another for such a long time. It's the cutest thing.

Claire still is the best at coloring. She loves it and is so cute with all her colors. Madelynn is okay and sometimes wants to eat the crayons, but Natalee is terrible at not coloring and biting/chewing on the crayons constantly. We are working on that.

You all love to climb and will climb everything!


You all love to clap and wave!


You love to sit on anyone's lap!


You love to swing and would for hours upon hours! You still have major melt-downs even after an hour of swinging at the park


You all love to run around in circles and chase each other! That's pretty much what you do all day long!


Loving Barney still too!

You all love to be outside and we spend a lot of time outdoors at the park, going on walks, in the pool, ect.


You love to "help" Mommy....if I say, "can you get me a book to read" you will go get it and bring it to me or if I say, "go get me your shoes" you will. Even when I say, "find your ball," you will! Ah-Mazing!


You all understand so well when you want to. When I say, "it's lunch time" you run to the kitchen and wait for me to open the gate, or when I say, "let's go take a bath," you wait at the other gate...love my little duckies!


You love to pretend to talk on the phone with anything that resembles a phone.


You are pros at eating with spoons!


You all never want to sit still!


We still are fighting with the biting issues! No fun! You guys can bite each other so hard, you bleed some days! Breaks Mommy's heart!

You all love tu-tus right now. Everyday since I brought them home after Nana bought them, you bring them to me and want me to put them on you. Love!

{ Foods }


You guys pretty much eat everything expect meat. I don't get it! We are huge meat eaters and I thought for sure you all would be too! I know it takes time and I have seen improvements, so I should complain too much!  You do like pork and chicken, but steaks and red meats we are working on. 


This month you are loving spaghetti and pizza! Anything that I put in a bowl, is a pretty sure guess that you will eat! So funny! 


You eat every fruit and veggie known to man, fresh, frozen, dried...you love it all. We eat a LOT of that!


You love popsicles!


You all love bread, cheese, chicken nuggets and every snack food!


This month I am going to try peanut butter and jelly in every way possible to get you all to like it! So far no luck in the past!

Mommy and Daddy love you all SO much! You are each the light of our lives! I can't believe this is our last month in the teens! Ah!
