Here's Lucy!

Lucy is such a joy ! She is making life very interesting and I will say that three is very different from two but I wouldn't have it any other way! Here she is in her car seat not crying which is rare - she hates her car seat! She had us pretty trained but now that she is over 3 months old we are turning the tide so to speak. She is now going down on her own in the crib which is a blessing. Though she still ends up in bed with me most of the night.

While Wesley may think that Lucy loves being held by him Lucy really just doesn't know what to think of him at all. Though I know that she is going to grow up to love her brother and sister dearly! Or I pray that is so! Below Lucy is hanging out in one of her favorite positions - the football hold - she is starting to outgrow this!

Bath Time! Lucy doesn't quite know what to think of baths yet - but as long as the warm washcloth gets on her tummy quickly she doesn't mind it so bad.
Lucy's Christmas PJ above were very cute the HO HO across her bum made it even more cute - good thing they don't make these in adult sizes!

Here is Tony in a very familiar position I should do this again showing each one of the kids in this same position!

Wesley Just wants to tell you something!

Wesley loves being a big brother, he discovered that running the vacuum is quite fun, he loves doing everything very quickly he has a great imagination and since discovering Star Wars he has developed a pretty good Light Saber sound effect. Wesley loves everything about Christmas Jesus' birth, the decorations, the lights the music and the whole idea of Santa - this year was the first year he really jumped at seeing Santa - it was really cute. We had a bell much like the one from the movie Polar Express and one day he was ringing it saying "I believe, I believe!" Wesley's is always saying he wants to tell us something - and he loves to refer to himself in the third person. "Wesley wants, would like, can Wesley etc.. Tony keeps bringing up Bob Dole when he does this. Which Wesley just says - DAD! Wesley is growing into such a big boy but he still loves to cuddle and is very affectionate.

Irina the funny girl!

Irina - loves to makes us laugh all the time and she has certainly grown a bit of a cheeky humor. She is falling into the role of middle child maybe a bit too easily, but she has a fire and a love of life that just makes you want to smile at her. She adores her big brother Wesley and loves to give little sister Lucy kisses and hugs. She is a big help to mama! Irina also has quite the fashion sense - not sure where she got that from. Her big thing to do in the car now is to say -"Green, Green match my coat!" when we see a green light because her winter coat is a mint green one. She loves to color and is a joy!
