Playdate

Last Friday we made it out of the house for our first playdate. My friend Jill's son Henry is a few months younger than Nathaniel. She had her baby Samuel 4 days before I had Seth and Joel. It was great to get out of the house and see a friend. Nathaniel and Henry got to run around in the backyard and had a blast. I'm excited to have a friend with boys about the same age as mine.

4 Month Pictures

The 4 month stats:

Boys boys were 25.5" long.
Seth was 15 lb. 12 oz. and Joel was 15 lb. 7 oz. Yes, Seth surpassed Joel! It is interesting to see how each one is unique. Seth seems to be pretty laid-back, and Joel really loves to be held. Seth is a very efficient eater; Joel pretty much always dribbles milk and has some around his face. :) Both boys are sleeping pretty well. They go to bed around 8 or 9 and can sleep until 3 or 4 am. Then they eat and go back to sleep for a while longer. Not that it happens every night, but fairly consistently. Which is great! I don't think Nathaniel ever slept like that.

I love this one. They give Nathaniel smiles like this all of the time.

Nathaniel is telling Joel to look at the camera. Precious! Nathaniel is such a big helper in so many ways. He gets stuff ready for their bath, he grabs burp cloths and blankets for us. I couldn't imagine doing it without him. He loves his brothers so much, and I love seeing Nathaniel dote on them.

Visit with Pops

Pops got to come for a visit and meet the boys! All 3 boys loved getting to see Pops, and I think the feeling was mutual.

Nathaniel taking a rare nap. Such a sweet face.

Cute Pictures

Here are a couple of cute pictures. First Nathaniel with the dogs. He loves them so much! He was so pleased they would cuddle with him.

Nathaniel and Seth

These are pictures of Joel - he is wearing a pair of Nathaniel's pjs. I took some of him because I wanted to compare them to Nathaniel. So here is Joel.

These next ones are Nathaniel (below)

Joel (below)

I see a strong resemblance between Nathaniel, Seth and Joel. Nathaniel loves to hear that his little brothers look like him!

My Friends

Here I am with my friends Sonya, Beth and Barb before Beth headed back out of the country. I am so blessed to have these women in my life! It was nice to have a dinner out with friends - I have been to a restaurant just a couple of times since the boys were born.

The Brothers

Will took this picture one night . . . adorable!

Fox hats

I am catching up on some posts from last year, but here is a shot of the little boys in their fox hats. Adorable! Nathaniel and I were taking them for a walk, and as soon as I put these fox hats on them, Seth and Joel began to giggle. Enjoy! (Seth is in the green seat).
