Picture Overload

I have been shirking my blog responsibilities lately, so I owe you a picture-heavy post. Believe it or not, the boys were three months old on Saturday, and Mairead is now just about two months shy of turning 2! All three kids are doing great and are growing like weeds. Mairead is a wonderful big sister and the boys are so much fun to watch. Mairead is saying new words and trying new things every day, including working on numbers and letters. So far, she says and recognizes ABCD, and her favorite numbers are 5 and 6. When she is counting things, she starts with 5, 6, and may throw in a 2 here and there. So funny!

These are the boys' three month pictures. There are more in the slideshow to the right. My mom bought those blue hats when they were newborns- they are just now starting to fit! In an effort to remember who is who, I always try to put Jack on the left and Ben on the right when I pose them for pictures.

Jack looks like my brother in this one!


How stinkin' cute are they? I know- I am biased, but c'mon! So cute!

Mairead wearing a bowl as a hat. She also has the TV remote because she knows that if the Red Sox are on, this magic button can turn it into Miss Spider or Blue's Clues. Don't worry- we'll make her a fan soon! She picks up the remote and brings it to us saying, "show, show." Too smart for her own good... too smart for us, really!


Jen and Mike took us to the Strawberry Festival in Windham, NH on Saturday. FYI- Mairead does NOT like shuttlebuses. She had the biggest meltdown I have ever seen her have. She was terrified and cried and screamed the whole way to the festival. It was about 7-8 minutes, but it was the longest 7-8 minutes of those other passengers' lives. I felt so bad for Mairead- she couldn't understand why we were in this small van with these strangers, and she wasn't in her carseat. Luckily, she was in a much better mood when Jen took her to see firetrucks!



These are just a few pictures from our daily activities. I like this one because I am so impressed with how strong they are to hold their heads up like that! And, they have recently started looking and smiling at each other-- they have noticed that there is someone there to play with!


This cool toy belongs to Connor Estee- thanks for letting us borrow it!




Ben loves to talk to the animals that hang down from the toy. OH- and he rolled over this weekend! He did it once and didn't seem that impressed by the whole thing. Jack keeps doing it because he is nosy. Ben is content pretty much wherever and however you put him down. On his belly? Great. On his back? That's good, too. Jack has to see everything and so he rolls more. It's so funny how distinct their personalities are!

Jack, getting ready to roll!

Mairead is playing with the boys- she really loves them. If she gets up from a nap and doesn't see them, she asks, "babies? Babies?" We have to show her where they are and then we get a big smile from her. She loves to check on them!

Hope you enjoy the pictures- thanks for checking in!

I enjoyed the pictures! Will did, too! The boys look like little men now...all chubby cheeked! Mairead is so smart! Soon she'll be updating the blog for you!

Connor says it's his pleasure to let the babies borrow his toy - because then they're not at his house being held by HIS mom (what can I say, he's in a Mommy stage lately and did not like other babies taking up his space on my lap). I've never seen Mairead have a meltdown, so I have to imagine her on the shuttle bus. I'm glad she got over it, though - Fire Trucks ARE cool (my dad made me say that). :)
