5 months


Teague is such an awesome baby! We all just love him to peices. He doesn't do much but he does love to laugh at his brothers crazy little voices that they come up with to entertain him. He roles around all over the house to get closer to where they are playing. He loves to eat his baby food when his brothers are eating. Most of it ends up drooling out while he smiles and laughs at them. And of course, his brothers are crazy about him and have to know why he does every little thing he does. If Teague starts to get upset you will find Trey and Taatjes running to his side to comfort him and tell him, "its ok your mommy is coming". Life is good for Teague and I think he will soon be trying to crawl and keep up with his big brothers. He has no problem matching the intensity of their shouting already. It is such fun having yet another personality enter in to our lives.

New Bike



Trey is so proud of his new bike. He earned it all himself by doing everything on his list. It took him 2 weeks to fill in every smiley face on this chart but he completed it. He loved dusting, I was the one who had a hard time watching him move vases and books around to get all the dust behind them. The sharing toys was a hard column to fill, it took the entire 2 weeks and a little reminding that he did not have so many smiley faces filled in to get it done. But...here he is all smiles after we brought the bike home that he picked out. He told the cashier that he did lots of hard work to earn his bike:)

Let Me Help Myself

This is at Nana B's house over Easter. Dad found him in the kitchen all by himself eating his second helping of breakfast. Taatjes being a second child has learned from big brother how to help himself to all sorts of things he desires. While at times it can make for this kind of mess; other times it is great to have a self sufficient toddler. (He gets himself dressed and can put his own coat on. He refuses to let me help him.) Yes, that is snow you see through the window on the ground Easter morning.

Piece:"Its Raining Sugar" By:Trey


More of FL

Here are a few more pics from Florida. We stayed with our friends from TU the Wolgemuths! We all loved swimming in their pool, hunting lizards, and eating fresh grapefruit from their grapefruit tree. It was a good to get down to the sun a relax.

Disney

We had great time at Disney. Our boys were overwhelmed with the fun that awaited them around every corner. They went on a Safari, saw the Nemo musical (a favorite of the day), watched a parade, and were in awe of amazing fireworks. Trey tells everyone that Pluto came up to him during the parade to say "hi". Taatjes loves to tell everyone he touched Mickeys nose. To no ones surprise Trey hid in the corner when we meet Mickey. We waited in line all that time because he said he wanted to meet him and when his moment came he refused to leave his new found safe heaven...the corner of the room far away from Mickey. We all loved it. We went with our friends the Waters and the Cubba's. This made it all the more fun and allowed us grown-ups to ride Everest multiple times!!! I am already a huge fireworks fan and Disney's were truly magical. My favorite part for sure.

Turkey Leg...Yum!

There is nothing like watching a friend bite into a big ol' turkey leg while enjoying a beautiful Disney parade. Really its a paradox of worlds. (Ha Ha) This is one of our friends we went to Disney with, Cubba. Cubba and his wife Chelsey are Disney experts and made our time at Disney a blast. We did Animal Kingdom and Magic Kingdom. The boys are still asking if we can go back to Mickey's house. More pics to come. (Chris Cubba can be made available if you would enjoy your own personal Disney outing with him. )
