The Holidays Are Here

Still no new teeth for either babe but they're chewing and drooling on everything in site! Poppy's got a sort of frog hop/crawl going on and Eve is up on all fours and rocking still but more movement with rolling around. It's great cause they can entertain themselves a lot longer by themselves now. We just have to watch out for whatever Esme and Chan might've left on the floor. Yikes!

Eve started a little "na-na-na-na" talking but nothing of the sort for Poppy yet. She has the habit of patting you on the arm or back when you pick her up like she's reassuring you or something. It's really cute. Chan has been having a lot of fun entertaining his sisters himself too. He just runs around and dances and goes a little crazy in front of them and they laugh which fuels him.

All four kids caught a nasty cold a few weeks ago and they all ended up on antibiotics for ear infections at the same time. I figured, we might as well kill all the germs at one time and get it over with! They all tolerated the meds well and hopefully we're on the mend now. Allen and I are hoping we can get back to sleeping through the night or a little closer to it :) We can dream right? Haha, that is when we actually get sleep. Poppy wakes up at least twice a night and Eve is just once but she was sleeping through before they got sick.

Esme and Chan are super excited for the holidays. Our Elf On The Shelf - Doodle, came back and they can't stop talking about him. The big kids also decorated the whole tree for us but mommy had to make some adjustments afterwards to even it out. Oh and we even got our Christmas pictures done. It was a pretty challenging task to get all 4 kids to smile at one time! Thank goodness daddy is so goofy ;)
