Smile BIG

The twins went for their second-ever visit to the dentist this week.

Luckily, it was less traumatic than Gwendolyn's first trip was. This time, she actually let the hygienist clean her teeth! For her part, Braelyn's only disgust came when her turn in the chair was done and she realized that she wouldn't be able to finish watching the cartoon that was playing on the ceiling-mounted television. (I know, oh the humanity... What if Woody doesn't make it back home to Andy!?!?!?)

Anyway, here are some recent shots of our three favorite subjects that we wanted to share... Enjoy!!!

 

Smiles at breakfast before we visit the dentist

Gwendolyn holds still for her x-ray

Braelyn gets her teeth cleaned

Gwendolyn opens wide

Braelyn practices proper brushing techniques on the dentist's stuffed alligator

Shea's become B.F.F.s with her teething ring as more pearly whites come in

Unfortunately, Shea has been constantly battling ear infections these past few months... We think tubes could be in her future! =(

Thankfully, Grammie pinch-hit at home last week while Dad was gone  for meetings in Indy!!!

Our Motley Crew

I just realized that I forgot to add this photo yesterday.

We actually had a warm (well, I suppose that's relative when compared to say July) day this week and ventured out for a walk in the neighborhood.

I think we exceeded the maximum capacity of the double stroller but, oh well!!!




Out of our way!!!!

Here we go again!!!

Well then... Time continues to fly by... I'm sure that has nothing to do with the fact that we have three girls under the age of five at home to keep up with, right? (Yep, I'm blaming my tardiness getting a new post up on the kids... After all, isn't that the whole purpose of having a family?!?!?!?!)

The good news about there being so much time between now and our last post is that Mom's been working her iPhone non-stop taking photos of our crew. So, we have a TON of new ones to share with you all.

With that said, I'll get right to it... Please enjoy them as much as we have:

Shea has no idea why we are all laughing at her but she still goes along with it!

A brief moment of peace with the twins at their table doing crafts.

I don't even know where to start here... Firstly, Braelyn's tongue is still lizard like in length... Then there's her natural goofiness... But maybe my favorite part is that Mom voluntarily gave me this photo for the blog. Yep, I married that fine cultured young lady folks!!!

A frequent sight of late... Shea with a clean high chair tray after inhaling her dinner.

During our crazy snow storm, the twins begged to go outside in the sub-zero temps and play in the snow. Much to her credit, Mom compromised and brought the snow inside to them. Even Joker and Shea were curious as to the goings on as the twins played in the kitchen with their piles of snow.

When it's cold inside, Shea decides to merely accessorize so she can stay warm.

This has become a theme we see a lot of at home also... Shea crawling around like crazy.



Give me that phone, Mommy!!!

What does Shea love more than table food... Chewing on the head of this baby doll... Yummy!!!

In a moment of equal parts jealously and craziness, Braelyn climbs into Shea's high chair for breakfast. Sadly, her tiny bum-bum fits just fine.

Yep, that Shea's already got a mouthful of teeth. Better yet, every time this picture comes up on Heather's phone, Shea grabs it and tries to kiss the phone's screen. Who says narcissism isn't alive and well!  ;)
