Spring Fever

It is definitely in the air at our house! The girls....all three of them....are feeling it in a big way! Zoe, who is a never ending source of energy (wish we could package it) is always on the go. She has even swum three times in the cold water (72 degrees). She and Kirby (the little boy I sit) are always outside digging on the stump of a tree that was knocked down by Katrina. They are slowly whittling away at it and Mark is grateful (less work for him)! They get as dirty as Pigpen from Peanuts but they love it!

Hannah, seems to be at the most difficult age right now because she has no patience and plenty of stubbornness. She is also very SET in her ways and finds it hard to see another point of view. She and Zoe tend to argue and fuss a lot of the time yet neither one wants to sleep alone since I moved them in together to make a playroom. I hope that after her third birthday (June) she will mellow a little. She is still my little helper and is very diligent in everything that she does!

Kayci, is slowly coming into her own. She is very laid back like Mark so getting her to accomplish milestones is quite overwhelming for her. She is "crawling" at this point but still has no desire to walk or even try to walk. We are practicing this skill daily and she cries like she's being tortured but is making real progress (she will probably walk at 14 months like Zoe did). She is so funny to watch as she has taken to copying Hannah's rocking style when listening to music. She has also decided to express her discontent when someone upsets her by taking a toy away or bothers her in some way.

All three girls are so different that it is fun for Mark and I to watch and try to pick out who's personality a particular action, expression or comment comes from. Yes, spring is here, and the girls are growing...changing and maturing with each passing day!
