Funny story about this picture, you see the corner of a mat that is blue and yellow?? Well about two feet from that is where I put Elizabeth today next to Olivia. I usually put the girls here when they are awake to give them something to look and play with while I get ready. Well I was not even gone 10 minutes and I come back to find Elizabeth under her crib with her legs hanging out! I have no idea how she scooted so far, much less around her sister and the bars from her mat! Good thing I was not gone any longer or I would have panicked when I did not see her. And no Grayson did not help her he was sleeping in his bed. So needless to say we are mobile! No more leaving them somewhere and getting things done.

Olivia was not happy, she is having some digestion issues to say the least

And of course we have to take our monthly big brother picture! Elizabeth is on the right now and Olivia on the left and she is finally smiling!

Holy Cow 3 months old today! I don't know where the time goes. The last week I feel the girls are really starting to wake up and do new things. I thought I would share a few things we have learned about each girl in three months.

First of all we learned no matter what never NEVER never give two infants a suppository at the same time! I will leave the rest to your imagination.

The girls just light up whenever Grayson comes close and talks to them. They just smile at him and even laugh sometimes

I am amazed still at a 2 year olds capacity to love and unselfishness he shows. I really thought he was going to have a hard time sharing his Mommy and Daddy, but he continues to amaze me everyday (not to say we don't have moments, just not many)

The girls favorite things are to play in their swing, bouncer or lay down on their jungle mat and hit at the toys hanging above.

I know I shared in the beginning that we were just waiting for the girls to "wake up" and get hard, but really it has not been. We are so blessed to have 3 children that are mostly laid back and so easy to put down to sleep. Grayson even comes and tells us know when he is ready to take a nap and usually will sleep two to three hours. So all of that makes our life a lot easier! We do have our days, but they seem few and far between.

We don't go back to the doctor for another month, but they have grown so much it seems. It is really hard to believe they were so small when they were born.

How in the heck did Elizabeth get all the way over there? I am starting to realize too that parenting is full of mysteries. Thanks for the pics! Grayson IS an awesome brother! You got some pretty cool kids there.
