The kids just keep growing. I mean seriously why won't they stop! Captain E is eight now. It's great to be eight. Kid cracks me up. As soon as he knows you are taking a picture those eyes snap shut. It is almost impossible to get a picture of this kid when he knows you are trying. Easter, mother's day, back to school pics. These are so hard. Kid kills me. I tried growling and bribing. No joy. Instead enjoy this silly look with the eyes closed. Look at those skinny long legs and arms. This kid cracks me up.
Then we've got Gigi. Finally five an moving on to school. She loves the bus. She loves the social aspects of school, having a whole new group of friends. She loves snacks, reading, the library, art, and PE. There is one thing she hates about Kindergarten, nap time! Everyday she comes home and tells me they had to have rest time again. "I haven't taken a nap in years mom," she tells me. Yes I know sweetie, yes I know.
Little miss peach. Oh boy. Three has always been the hardest age for me. The kids go from being these cute little mama loving babies to being these independent, opinionated little people. Every day becomes an exercise in hostage negotiation. Peach has been no exception but she also is adorable. This particular day she wore her pajama top all day under her backwards shirt. That's just how we roll her. She also recently got this little pixie cut. In general I'm anti bangs on my babies because as the hair thickens up they just keep getting thicker but Peaches hair is so thin and crazy :) She loves it!
Then we have little miss cheetah who I have renamed Petitie Sweetie, aka sweet pea. She is adorable and pretty much the most trouble I've ever seen in such a small package! In three days she will be ten months old....or 71/2 months adjusted. She is just a tiny little thing, 16lbs but she rules the roost in this house. Smart little whip of a girl. She can get the lids off markers. I often find her crawling around chewing on the tabs of the door stops. She will unplug my phone and suck on the chord. Ok maybe she just has an oral fixation. She is one of the happiest little people I've ever seen. We adore her.

Rachel's really worried about rest time, too. But she hasn't quite started school yet (her first full day is Thursday).
ReplyDeleteAll four of yours are super cute! And I can't believe they're this big, either.
I love Capt. E's eyes and the chalk in Cheeta's mouth. :)
