Teething, church, and road trips

Whitney is teething and is VERY fussy. I think I got up between 5-10 times last night to tend to her! The girl will not eat much or sleep much - needless to say, the past few days have been a little trying. She is loving her teething rings, I saw her going back and forth chewing on the green then the pink. I think I will go buy some of those teething biscuits. She has also been sneezing and had a little bit of congestion, and I am hoping it doesn't turn into a cold. And tonight Tyler started having a snotty nose... Yay!



Today we made a choo choo train. For some reason, Tyler did not want to sit up! Silly boy!
Hannah's turn in front.
Tyler and Hannah have been best buddies lately. I find them playing and laughing together a lot.
The domino effect. Whitney has a funny smirk on her face.
Sunday, I got brave and took the babies to church by myself, which was utterly exhausting! It will probably be a long time before I do that again. I got everything ready the night before (clothes for them and me, diaper bag packed, stroller in the car) otherwise, I don't think it would ever happen. After getting them all fed, changed and dressed, then loaded up, unloaded and pushed them all in one big stroller which was very heavy, then unloaded in the nursery - I needed a nap. Then, went to pick them up after church, load them in the stroller, fight the wind (and the high heels didn't help) with the heavy stroller, then loaded back in the car - I did get a nap after getting home, getting the kids fed, changed and in bed. Anyway, I dressed them all up and wanted to take their picture because it has been a while since we dressed them up to go to church.

Can you believe the outfits the girls are wearing are the ones they wore for baby dedication in April when they were just 2 1/2 months old.
My chunky little preemie boy!!! A few other updates... Tyler is currently holding his bottle all by himself. He also likes to bang toys together and make as much noise as possible. He is also starting to pull up on his hands and knees and rock back and forth.

Look at my mischievous Hannah! Hannah's updates... She is doing surprisingly well holding her bottle, although sometimes she forgets that she has hands - she holds her bottle with her hands in a fist. She also surprisingly seems to do better holding it on her own than being held as far as reflux is concerned. She has also learned how to go from laying to sitting up and I have confirmed that she does wave from time to time.
I can still manage to make Whitney smile even though she is not feeling well - teething and all.

Looks like me and the kids are going to be taking a trip to Houston to spend some time with Daddy if they don't get super sick. He is going to have a day off and we miss him so we thought we would go spend a few days with him. Who would have thought the babies' first road trip would be to go see Daddy???

Wow - I can't believe you got them all to church by yourself. Well done!!!

Now I just saw those kids and they already look different! Whitney's hair looks more blonde again.

The first time I took all 3 kids to church by myself, I ended up just sitting in the nursing room for service. It was quiet and dark and Caleb fell asleep... So much for going to church!
