BEAUTIFUL STELLA

STELLA PAULINE (YOUNGEST) Stella is so sweet and has the softest eyes. Like the others, she has many things that we love about her, especially her very LOUD and POWERFUL vocals. She is for sure going to be an opera singer. When you get her going, oh man, the whole neighborhood must wake up. We think Stella looks the most like Declan and sometimes, at four in the morning, when we are all half asleep, we get them mixed up.........until we change their diapers of course. :) She weighed just a little more than Reese at her 3 month checkup and I think she probably still does. She sleeps great and at one point, had no problem sleeping through the night. Lately, that isn't so much the case, but we are working on it. Here are some pictures of the beautiful, kind, sweet, soft STELLA!

BIG BOY

DECLAN ALBERT (MIDDLE CHILD)

For those out there that still do not know how to pronounce his name, it sounds like "DECK-LIN" ....NOT, DE-Clane. :) I know many still have some trouble with that one.

To show you how much this boy has gone from a little peanut to a BIG BOY, I have two pictures below, one from when he was 2 weeks old and the other one is from when he was 3 months old.

This little guy is turning into a man before our eyes. He loves to eat(if you couldn't have guessed that). He is usually the only one that still can't sleep more than four hours at night, without needing to be fed. That is fine, because he's needs to grow up big and strong, because he's got a lot of women in his life that he needs to protect and look out for.

Declan was the first one to smile and giggle, then Stella and then Reese followed. Now we can't get him to stop smiling. He is a very happy boy!..........and a VERY STRONG boy. I wouldn't be shocked if he starts crawling and walking first as well. He can easily push himself up and is almost able to roll himself over. Ali and I are both convinced that he is going to be such an active boy because he is constantly kicking and moving his legs and arms. We can just picture him now running all over the house and us trying to catch him. He will keep us in shape, that is for sure.

Other than that, he is a very healthy, strong, growing boy and it is so nice to discover the differences between raising a boy compared to a girl. Both are wonderful and very different in their own way and we are loving every minute of it.

Tomorrow............Stella!!

MANY FACES OF REESE MARGARET

REESE MARGARET (oldest of the group)

Reese is a funny character. As you can see from the photos below, she loves sticking her tongue out in many pictures. She has also been the first one to master the act of sucking her thumb. She does it on demand now.

She seems to have the best eye contact out of the group and can give you many different facial expressions, from goofy to very, VERY serious. She is the smallest out of the three and at her 3 month checkup, she weighed in at 9.4 lbs. She probably is around 10 and a half now.

Other than all that, she is doing well, sleeping very well and keeps us on our toes everyday. What a joy she is for us.

Tomorrow...........DECLAN!
