8 Months Old
Audrey and Mason turned 8 months old today. I can't believe that we are definitely closer to one than zero! I love these babies more and more everyday. I know how quickly they grow so I have taken the time to enjoy the small stuff. When P was a baby I spent most of my time anticipating the next step. I have no problem that Audrey is just now starting to sit and isn't even close to crawling. This time last year I was struggling to make it through my last 8 weeks of school and want to quit every single day. Here is a little bit about the babies....
Mason! Oh boy, oh boy! He has two teeth on the bottom. He has been crawling like a champ for a few weeks now. He is wearing 6-9 months clothes still, but I see 12 months in the very near future. We are squeezing him into size 2 diapers, but desperately needs to be in size 3. (Yes, we over bought on diapers) He doesn't eat that great, and gags on most table foods we try. I believe he probably weighs around 18lbs. He still riding in his infant seat and will until he outgrows the maximum limit. Last week, when we were on vacation he starting pulling himself up to a standing position. He is into everything. I have to make sure everything is off the floor because it will be in his mouth otherwise. We also need to block off the DVD player soon. He loves giggling with his sister and watching Parker.
Audrey the princess. She is finally rolling over like a champ. She sits pretty well for long periods of time. She does bare weight on her legs now. She LOVES to eat. She will scream if you don't shovel it in fast enough or feed her brother while she waits. I started doing more table foods for her since she is so impatient. I think she likes it. I haven't noticed any gagging with her. She is weraing 6-9 months also but I think she will be here for a little while longer. She is still wearing size 2 diapers and they fit her nicely. She has the tiniest little feet ever. We bought her some 0-3 months shoes and they are too big. We believe she weighs around 17 lbs. She is defintely taller than her twin brother. She loves both of her brothers more than anything. She smilies so big when her Daddy gets home from work at night. She babbles Da Da Da.

We have teeth and the camera is fixed!
So I have been a terrible, horrible, no good blogger since our life has turned into complete chaos on August 17th, 2010. When I finally started to have time to blog and take pictures again, my camera broke. Then it took me another several weeks to mail the camera back to Canon. It came back fixed and now I am a happy girl. I have been clickin' like crazy. Poor Audrey is scared of the flash which is fine because Mommy tries to use the flash as little as possible.
Both babies have teeth now! Mason popped two bottom teeth a few weeks ago and Audrey has one bottom tooth. Here is a picture of Audrey to prove it.

Bad Blogger is Back with Seven Random Facts!
I have been the most terrible blogger of all time. I think I do have a pretty good excuse though. Raising three little ones so close in age takes up about 110% of my time. I wouldn't change a single part of it! (Well maybe hire a cook, nanny, and personal trainer??) The last time I blogged was November...since then the babies celebrated their first Thanksgiving and their first Christmas. Parker celebrated his second birthday. And we took our first trip to Disney as one big happy family. My blogger friend, Kate, tagged me in her post and asked me to play along. This was just the bait I needed to get back into blogging. So here goes:
1. Chris and I will be taking our first vacation away from all three kids in about a month. We will be going to celebrate the beautiful marriage of our friends Lauren and Todd in the Bahamas.
2. I might have slight obsession with strollers. Right now I have the Baby Jogger City Select, a Valco Twin TriMode with a Joey Seat, a Double Snap and Go, Maclaren Volo, Combi Twin Sport. I feel that strollers are like shoes, you different ones for different situations. You wouldn't go to the beach in a pair of heels, would you??
3. I have attempted to start the Two Peas - 12 Weeks to Better Photography course....oh about 5 times. Something always gets in the way, but I need to stop making excuses and make it through the course once and for all.
4. I would much rather buy my children clothes than myself. I need to get my booty to the gym STAT!! But I would need about 6 more hours in the day.
5. Bragging about my little man makes me happy. Parker is such an amazing little boy. His vocabulary is extraordinary and it makes me smile daily. Today he said, "My Mommy Special." Melts my heart. Last night he asked to watch the "Crunchy" (Country) music Elmo DVD. I would like to start posting the silly things he says so I don't forget.
6. I love my job! Not many people can say they don't mind waking up in the morning and going to work. Being a teacher has many benefits like winter break, spring break, and summer vacation, but those aren't the reasons I go to work everyday. Every day is completely different and entertaining.
7. I miss my husband. *sigh* Everyone tells you that a baby will change your life. Watching him with our kids makes me love him more and more. Seeing Parker's face light up when he gets home is amazing. But there are many days I wish I could just share a quick moment with him without someone crying or needing us for one reason or another. We both do our best do spend a few moments each day and as our little ones grow it gets a little easier. Just another reason I can't wait to be in the Bahamas in April!

3 months old!
Our sweet babies are 3 months old today. I told Daddy this morning that some days it feels like they have been a part of our life forever and other days I feel like we were sitting in Sarasota Memorial Hospital Labor and Delivery yesterday.
Mason loves to smile! He is such a happy little man. Some people say he looks like his big brother and some say he looks like Mommy's family. I guess the jury is still out. He started STTN on November 15, 2010. He is still wearing 0-3 months clothes but he probably could move up soon. He is still wearing size one diapers. Although he must think Mommy likes to do laundry because he leaks through his diaper on most nights. He loves to be held and cuddled. He drinks about 25-28oz. of formula a day.
Audrey is such a sweet baby princess. She never complains when I dress her in pink, put bows on her head, and make her wear dresses. Most people say that Audrey is a Lowe girl. She looks like her Daddy and her biggest brother. She has been STTN since November 14th. She is an extremely relaxed baby and is pretty much happy all the time. She does not like to be on her belly. Her neck isn't quite as strong as her brother's, so Mommy is working on some serious tummy time. She is still wering 0-3 months clothes and doesn't appear to be growing out of them too quickly. She is also wearing size one diapers. She drinks about 25oz a day. We will not have an official weight check until 4 months.

Giggle, giggle!
Audrey giggled for the first time yesterday. I have had the video camera by my side since but of course she won't perform. As soon as I get a video I will add it to this post. There is nothing sweeter in the world than hearing your baby giggle for the very first time.
Could it be true???!!!!!
These babies have been amazing since the start, either that or their big brother gave me such a run for my money that they seem easy in comparision. Audrey has STTN (slept through the night) for 3 nights now and Mason has for 2 night. I have my fingers, toes, and all other bodies parts crossed that this isn't a fluke. It came in perfect time since I have to go back to work in a little over a week. They have been sleeping in their own cribs for a few weeks now, so no more babies in Mommy and Daddy's room. I am sad and thrilled at the same time.
