We're 5 1/2 Months Old Now!

...and at the rate Mommy is going, we probably won't have 6 month pics for awhile(I'll try though)!!!

Korynnie jumpin' jumpin'!

Rylie, Avery, and Korynne!

Rylie, Avery, and Korynne!

Pop, "How big is Rylie?"

1st Trip to Mimi and Pop's house!

BELOW: The girls watched their first NASCAR race with Pop!

1st trip to Grammy and Papa's! It was Grammy's birthday!

Checking out all the trees and birdies in the backyard!

Rylie in the mirror!

Avery, "Who is that cute lil' baby?"

Sweet lil' Avery! First time in the exersaucer!

Rylie's first time!

Avery relaxin' on the couch all by herself! What a big girl!

Rylie and Korynne rollin' around!

Pop's birthday...August 24th!

Finally got their hand and footprints for their baby books!
Here is Rylie showin' off her masterpiece!

...and Korynne!

...and Avery!

The girls are gettin' so big! I know I say that all the time, but they are!! They are all three rolling over from back to front now! Avery and Korynne do it ALL the time! In fact, we often find them in their cribs trying to sleep on their tummies! They seem to prefer their tummy most of the time! They can lay on their tummies and push all the way up! There is a picture above were you can see this! Rylie can do it too, but she doesn't seem to care for the tummy quite as much! We usually find Rylie on her side when she's sleepin'!

I bet they'll all be crawling pretty soon! My guess is Avery will lead the pack! She is scootin' pretty good now!

We go for their 6 month pics in a few weeks! I'll have to share how that event comes out when afterwards!! I've been a little hesitant to take them to get their pictures taken professionally, but I HAVE to do it one of these days! I'm sure it will be a circus! Wouldn't you like to be a fly on the wall for that session!

We also have a 6 month check-up pretty soon! I'll be sure and share how much they weigh and how the appointment went!

Blessings to you all!

Love,

Sweet X's Three!

Rylie is getting better at holding her head up! This isn't her favorite thing to do, but we're workin' on it!
I think she likes laying with daddy MUCH better!
Kendall's first time to feed Korynnie! I think she's havin' A LOT of fun!
Korynnie lookin' at herself in the mirror! I just love this pic!

I went in the kitchen and came out to find Korynne just like this! She hadn't even made a peep! I couldn't stop laughin!
Darien feeding Avery for the first time! What a pro!
Brayden and Rylie! It sure is nice when the cousins visit! I can sit back and watch!!

Our big girl Avery Grace! Hey, what's goin' on over there?
Daddy obviously likes to play a lot!

I have a big week coming up! Next week I go back to work and leave the girls! I am excited, but also VERY sad! I don't want to leave them at home everyday! I had no idea how hard this was going to be and it hasn't even happened yet...the anticipation is making me crazy though! I know they will be in good hands, but I'm sure going to miss them! Please pray that I am at peace with the whole situation...and maybe I'll be able to get a lil' sleep!

Take care!

Love,

Dana

The Girls 1st Night in THEIR Room!

Last night was the very first night the girls spent in their own room! Bryan and I had been thinking about this for awhile now! They have been sleeping SO well and we thought they were ready (actually we thought WE were ready)!! They did a fabulous job!

We put them down at about 8:30 p.m. and didn't hear a peep until around 6:15 a.m.! I laid down on the floor outside their room for a few minutes and then Avery started fussing! I picked her up and brought her down to our room (where she fell asleep again)! Then, about 6:45ish I brought down Rylie and Korynne came down a few minutes after! They did AWESOME!

Exhibit A: Avery Grace in the morning!

Notice she is pretty much where we put her when she went to bed!

Exhibit B: Rylie Hope in the morning!

She is completely turned around!

Exhibit C: Korynnie in the a.m.!

Just decided to scoot down to the corner where it's nice and cozy like her bassinet!

We are so blessed to have our girls! I thank God daily for these precious lil' gifts! They require a lot of work, but the reward far outweighs it all!!

Much love,

Bry, Dana, Avery, Rylie, and Rynnie

Banana Heads!!

The sticker said, "Place sticker on forehead. Smile."

So, that's what we did!!

CHILLIN'!

Rylie ALWAYS does this so I had to capture it!

When there is a place to prop her leg up...she does!

It's so funny!

Mimi's B-day

We finally got together for Mimi's b-day this weekend! We don't get out much, but are finding that when we do...we have to plan ahead! The night before we have to get the diaper bag ready and the outfits laid out! Then on that day, we have to get the bottles together (we usually carry 6 just in case), feed them x's 3, dress them x's 3, put them all in their carseats, load up, and leave! Oh...I forgot that WE have to get ready sometime in there too! It's quite the process! A lot different than what we were used too! It's fun to get out though! Daddy and Rylie!
Mimi and Rynnie!
Pop and Avery!

*We usually don't have a shortage of "holders" while we are out and about!**
Daddy and Rynnie hangin' by the pool! Rynnie said she wanted to bring her swimsuit next time!
Here is Mimi with all the grandkids! We also have Aunt Tanya with Rylie, Tia Liz is hiding and holding Rynnie, and Daddy has Avery! Avery is wondering what Tia Liz is doing!?!

What a fun day!

Just a quick update!

Just wanted to let you all know that our doctor's appt. went very well! The girls are doing great! Avery Grace weighs 12.6, Rylie Hope 12 lbs. exactly, and Korynnie is 11.6! The gap is closing!!

They had their second round of shots and we managed to get through it without too much emotional damage (to Mommy and Daddy that is)!! Korynnie and Avery were our loudest screamers, but Rylie cried only a little while she was getting her shots and when the were over...she fussed a tiny bit! ...no big crocodile tears like her sisters!

As for the pics on the last entry:
A. Avery Grace
B. Korynne Faith
C. Rylie Hope

Gotta run!!

Almost 4 mo's NOW!

I know...I know...it's been almost a month! I feel like there are so many other things I'm doing that I'm not used to yet....TONS of laundry, making/cleaning bottles, changing diapers, bathing babies (not to mention holding and lovin' on 'em)...etc! It's hard to sit down and go through the millions of pictures I take and capture the one's I think you'll most enjoy!! It might be easier if I take only a FEW pictures, but I don't see me slowing down any time soon!

P.S. Avery Grace is laying under her lil' play gym right behind me...so if this is cut short,

you'll know why!!

Daddy's Birthday...June 24th

Avery Grace...tummy time!

Avery and Rylie in their BUMBO'S!! Don't they look like big girls?!

The girls and their cousins...Abby and Jordan!

Love this one!! Korynnie watchin' T.V. like a big girl!

Tia Liz, Rylie, and Bunny!

The Three Amigas!!

Below is a picture of each of our lil' angels!

Leave your guess as to "who is who" in the comments!

I'll let you know if you're correct later!!!

A. Guess who?

B. Guess who?

C. Guess who?

Avery is "Mommy's Little Sparkler"!!

P.S. She has also moved from her "play gym" to MY LAP!

Rylie is "Daddy's Little Sparkler!"

Rynnie is Independent...yeah right!

My lil' miracles!

The family!!

We go to the doctor on Wednesday for their 4 month check up! They get shots again...so say a lil' prayer for my girls (Mommy & Daddy too!)!! I'll try to get back to ya'll soon after and update you all with their weights! We are always so anxious to find out just how much they've grown!

Take care!

Love,
