Just because they have cute outfits and they aren't feeling well

I put the kids in some new shirts my parents sent. So I was taking photos all morning. I got a few really cute ones, so I decided to post them.  It was a good thing I took photos first thing because both the boys required shirt changes after lunch.  The boys are both sick with head colds. They have yucky noses and are making quite the mess.  Walt has also developed a slight cough and Gordon has been running a fever for the last few days. Depending on how everyone is when they wake up tomorrow, I may call and see if our new doctor can fit them in.  Boo. 

I've also been dealing with a lot of overnight wake-ups.  For the last week to 10 days, I've been going into their room almost every night to soothe Gordon who wakes screaming. He calms right down when I go in, but still... Then since he's been sick, he's been waking and having a harder time falling asleep. And when Gordon doesn't wake up, poor Walt will have trouble breathing or will cough himself awake.  Overall, it has made for one sleep-deprived Mama.  Plus, I jammed my toe and it is bruise, making it painful to walk. I'm trying to stay off it as much as possible, but that isn't much with 3 toddlers running around.

Adele is now walking everywhere. She rarely crawls. And the boys are pure walking pros.  Verbally, Walt still isn't saying any words, but he now consistently signs "again", "please", "cracker" and "dog."  Adele says a LOT of words. One of the cutest new ones is "Elmo" who she loves more & more every day.  And the most useful word is "help." We are dealing with a lot less frustrated screaming from her now that she's learned to say "help."  Gordon is obsessed with "b" words. He says "Ball," "Bowl," "Bubble," "Bath," and "Banana."  I think he also says "Bubba" a lot, which is what I often call the boys.

These two being silly. They play together a lot. It is such a hoot.

The boys climbed onto the couch on their own.

Adele was standing next to the couch when I took the photo of the boys, so I asked her if she wanted up. She held up her arms, so I was able to take these funny photos.

I love how they are looking at me like I'm the crazy one.

Notice how Gordon and Adele are looking at Walt as he tries to hand me the ring. Love it!
