(I've actually attempted to update this a couple times before, but Blogger drives me nuts! The photos weren't uploading right, and it's hard to find time to get back and try again. Sorry!)
Quinn and Everett are now 4 montha old. I'm going to get better about updating this, so for now, I'm just posting the 3 month pictures and next week I'll post the 4 month pictures. Plus, Quinn needs a reshoot :) She wasn't a happy camper when we did yesterday's photoshoot, so I'm going to let her try again!
I can hardly believe they are already 4 months old! They are really starting to interact with us, and we love it. Bennett loves to get right up in their faces (as you can imagine!) and make them smile and laugh. He still has a clenched up look on his face anytime he touches them. It's like he wants to squeeze their guts out. ha! But he's never rough with them. He has adjusted to being a big brother really well!
And Bennett amazes us every day. We think his vocabulary and conversational skills are pretty amazing. We've heard it from the Parents as Teachers teacher and many others. We love watching Bennett and Laiken play pretend with their toys because the conversations the two of them have are hilarious. I could listen to them all day.
Bennett has also become quite the swimmer. I'll try to post a video (if Blogger cooperates) next time. He no longer uses wings and can swim under water on his own. He can swim pretty far without taking a breath. We are working on the part where he needs to pick his head up for a breath. And he can even turn himself around and go back to the stairs. I'm so impressed! The first 2 months of the summer, he wouldn't even put his face in the water or jump off the side (which was odd because he would do that last summer). Then, in just a matter of days, he went from doing a few jumps off the side, to wanting me to take him around the pool w/o his wings, to totally swimming on his own. He just had his ear tubes removed this week, so swimming time is over for the summer. I'm bummed, but we can take him to the Community Center to swim until next summer. We don't want him to forget his skills!
In other big news, I started a job teaching at the Jr High in Kearney. I love it! I'm teaching with the teacher who inspired me to pick English as my subject to teach. This might be her last year, so I'm excited I got there before she left. Another big reason why I made the move was because there is a daycare in the building, so the kids can come with me and be there with me all day! I love it! I can check on them during any breaks I have if I need to. On the days they don't come with me, my mom watches them at our house. It is working great so far!
Enjoy the pictures below and check back soon! I'll try my best to do better.
