11 months old!

11 months old… It is so crazy to think that in less than 4 weeks we will be the parents of 3 – 1 year olds! This past month has definitely been an exciting one for us. We officially have 3 babies that can pull themselves into standing positions, and both the boys are pro’s at putting themselves into a sitting position. All 3 are also on the move non-stop. Kita is learning that he is running out of hiding spots! Maddy still hasn’t quite conquered the whole up your knees crawling, but she just pulls herself along, occasionally getting up on one knee. I am beginning to think she has excellent upper body strength. We are taking bets on who is going to be the first one to walk between the boys. Our original guess was Dylan, as he has always been the first one to do everything, but we are starting to lean towards Mason, as he seems much, much more sure of himself and has started practicing standing up without holding onto anything. Dylan loves nothing more than to walk behind any toy that has wheels on it, but we think that he is a little too wild and just wants to go, go, go.  

Both the boys also had their 1^st haircut. Our friend Katee came over and worked hard to do it! They were so interested in what she was doing and would not hold still for a second. It was amazing that she was able to get it straight.

We also had our family fall pics done, again by our friend Katee. We are so blessed to have such a multi-talented friend! They turned out beautiful, again, getting 3 babies to look at the camera was definitely a lot of work.

This last week Shawn and I celebrated our 4 year wedding anniversary, and what an amazing 4 years it has been! We got a chance to get away for a night, mom’s first night away from the kids! It was hard to leave them, but we knew they were in great hands with Aunt Nancy. We can not thank her enough for helping us out. It was fun to go to dinner and have time for just us.

We have a very busy month ahead of us; 1^st birthday parties for friends, a trip to the pumpkin patch, celebrating their first Halloween and planning their first birthday party. I have a feeling that from here on out, we will be nothing but busy, as if we hadn’t been already!

Happy Fall!
