Lately...

We are so ready for nice weather so we can be outside on a regular basis. The boys are both doing well and growing up like crazy.

It has been so fun to see Kellen's personalitly developing. He and his brother are so different. He is much sillier and also more rebellious. We counted yesterday and he says about 70 words or so. He knows almost all of his body parts and is getting really good at making puzzles. He knows some of his shapes too. No matter what Payton is doing he wants to be a part of it. If he doesn't see him he yells "Payton, are you?" He is a great sleeper taking a 2 hour nap every afternoon and sleeping at night from 6pm-almost 8am. He makes up for it with tons of energy in the day :)

Payton is almost three...I can't believe it. He has been looking forward to his birthday for a long time. He has been practicing his letters. He knows most of them and now is trying to write them. He talks nonstop, which is probably why his brother already knows so many words :) He is quite a big help to me, most of the time. Here he is practicing his letters like they do in "real" school.

Here he is showing how he copied the H I made...and in case you are wondering H is for Hagemeier....the last name of his best friend Olivia.

Don't let Payton's look fool you... this whole pullup head thing was his idea :)

We still make him sleep in a pullup even though he has been dry at night for the past few months. I am not quite ready to make that jump yet. Maybe after Lydi is born. This pullup head thing has become an almost nightly ritual.

Painting is one of the favorite things to do especially when the weather is bad. Kellen has the hang of it now, but for a while he would put on the paint and then dip in the water. It drove Payton crazy, so its a good thing he figured it out :)

Cheesing out for the camera as usual!

Little sister is growing well still. I will try to post a picture of my tummy soon, its about the same as it was with the boys at 27 weeks. We can see her move now which is fun and Payton likes feeling her move.

We are excited to have found out that the boys (and Lydi) are getting a boy cousin! It will be fun to see all of the cute clothes that the boys have outgrown getting reworn :) I can't wait for summer!
