Catch Up

Sorry I haven't posted in a few weeks, but not a whole lot has been going on. The girls are getting big. They just turned 4 months old, but they don;t go to the doctor for another week or so, so I don;t know how much they weigh yet...although it seems like a lot carrying them around! :) John is using the potty more and more, but he still refuses to poop in it. He actually kind of freaked out like I was crazy when I suggested it. He has discovered boobies on mommy, and hippos (nipples) on himself, and he hasn't quite learned about where it's okay to discuss them and where it is a little inappropriate...such as the YMCA pool. Oh well, I guess every kid notices these differences at some point. His Parents as Teachers educator came last week for his yearly evaluation, and he scored above his age level in each activity, so that was pretty reassuring. We discussed his recent bout of hitting and pushing with her, and unfortunately her answers of "he's a boy, he's 2 1/2, and he just had 2 babies take over his role in the family" didn't give us much to go on. Hopefully he will calm down a little bit soon. The girls are babbling a lot! At church on Sunday we had to take them out of the service because they were so noisy. Not crying or fussing, just talking away. Rebecca tends to coo more and Natalie makes a strange gurgling sound all the time. They are really starting to notice and interact with each other more. When they wake up, they don;t automatically cry for someone to come get them, they'll just stare at each other and make noises. It's cute. Yesterday we got John's preschool information in the mail. I can't believe he's starting school next month!

Here are some pictures to catch you up. :)
