Is this what a 3rd child has to offer???

Could C BE any happier? Perhaps he could take over the middle of the night feedings? I cannot wait until C, G&G are running around and playing!

Another photo shoot gone wrong

Since the babies were sick, we had to do Easter pictures a week late. We did a little pre-photo shoot and as always.....


Yummmmmm ribbons!



Cheese!


Switch to avoid more ribbon eating.





I give up!

Luke

The dogs love when the babies are eating at the table. I would say about 70% of everything I give the babies ends up in the dogs mouthes. Luke found another benefit of the babies eating at the table, someone to pet him. It may only be a foot and a small foot at that, but it is still attention.

The doc said it is normal for a baby to slow down at this point. Grady is really moving now and burning extra calories. The fix - more butter. Every Kothe loves to hear that. Otherwise the babies are fine and their RSV has completely disappeared. Now if we could just get dad back to 100%.....

Touch

Grady is just plain old scared to touch anything. Of course when we went to get this on video he was a little more laid back about touching the bush in our back yard. We are hoping to show this to his girlfriends someday.

Easter

Mom had some old school seats for the babies at dinner. The babies loved them. Grady's chair actually said babysitter on the back of his seat! I guess it was a good baby sitter except for the times the rusty lap belt broke and he almost feel through the hole. We had some good laughs about the old seats, but they worked!

Zoo

Friday night was a members only night at the zoo. Little did we know all of Columbus is a member. Needless to say it was a zoo at the zoo. The babies did great and even made it an hour past their bedtime.

Grady at the petting zoo. He absolutely loved it, but also was scared to touch anything.




Gwen was there too, but since I had her most of the night she did not get any pictures. Oh well, since we are exclusive members, I am sure there will be a next time.
