26 weeks: Lots of play

Our kids love to play all day long. I love that they learn so much through their play. We definitely have fun around here!

Miles seems to be about to get some more teeth in. I think the other two kids had more in by now. But his two little bottom teeth sure are cute. He's such a happy guy, and getting him down for naps in his crib has been really easy lately. I can tell when he's getting tired, and he goes right to sleep with a paci, then I lay him down and he rolls over to his side and goes to sleep.

 Me and my boys!

 We walked over to the school to watch Ruby do her Jog-a-thon. She did 4 laps, a whole mile! It was pretty cute.

 Miles's intro to the Lego world.

 Building a crane truck.

 Ruby learned the game "Garbage" at school and came home and taught it to me. We've been playing a lot! She has always loved games, and really loves cards.

 "Mom, do you like sea food?"

 He laughs at everything.

 My hair is getting really long!

 Typical play. Miles likes to be in the middle of it all.

 My three sillies.

 Twinsies! She loves when we are alike.

 He loves vacuuming and always wants to do it when I'm done.

We walked to the park to enjoy the nice weather. We also saw Ruby out at recess and gave her a hug. 

 He rolls over at the end of his nap a lot now.

 He's starting to sit up pretty well! He definitely still falls over though.

 Reid had fun playing with his friend William.

 The kids helped me make apple crisp (mostly Ruby) with Pippin apples we got from the Portland Nursery, and it turned out so delicious.

 This is often what our mornings look like. We have some early risers (mostly Reid).

 Hauling his stuffed animals.

 Then Ruby made this for a tote and they put all of the animals in it to scan them. These are all buttons. They're so creative.

 Bath time! We've also been giving them showers, which is just really convenient. I get in the shower and Andy throws the kids in one at a time. :)

 Evening play time.

 We went to Magnolia park for an evening picnic on Sunday evening. It was cold!

 The leaves are so pretty.

 Miles had his first swing ride and loved it!

 Ruby is so good at pumping now all on her own.

 Reid wanted to try on the sunglasses at Winco. And he always looks for the "polishers" (the sweeping machine things).

 Helping with the laundry.

 Naked baby time!

 They sure are cute. Ruby and Miles really look alike in this picture.

 Snuggling with Daddy while he finishes up work.

 She also made up her own card game!

 Since Miles is almost 6 months, we tried giving him a little roasted butternut squash. He didn't really get any in his mouth. We're doing baby led weaning this time, so no purees, he's just supposed to feed himself. Way easier!

Evening living room dancing time. It's getting dark way earlier, and I'm thankful for a bigger house and longer hallway for them to run around!
