Picnic at the zoo
Now that we have a membership at the zoo (thanks to the MacGregors) we can make short trips to the zoo without staying all day since we don't feel like we paid an arm and a leg to get in. This day Mom packed a picnic lunch and it was a perfect day to be there! This time we saw a few new things:
the hippos actually moved - we saw them walk/swim throughout their entire area
We saw the keepers take baby flamingos for a walk to a different area. They are the most awkward looking things ever!
I saw Tim Duncan at one of the exhibits. He is my favorite! It took everything I had to not run up to him screaming, asking for an autograph. I think I did pretty well not gawking too???

In this picture, the girls barely notice the crocodile (or alligator?) in the background, they are much more interested in the little girl with the camera standing next to them
Will and Travis - 3 months old
Well, this whole twin thing is getting a little easier. Its always more fun and easy to take care of babies when they can smile and coo back at you. The nights are getting better - they usually have one stretch that lasts 6-8 hrs (or longer on good nights). I am still waiting on them to both sleep about 10 hrs straight at the same time. My mom is still helping us almost every week day but we are working on me being able to care for all of them on my own.
They are starting to interact with each other and their sisters. Its so much fun to watch and they are quick to smile. They can both roll over from their bellies to their backs but then they don't like it and scream. They switch back and forth between being the most high maintenance. At the beginning, Travis was a little harder to soothe, but for the last month or so, Will wins that award. At the moment, Travis is refusing the pacifier which is really interesting when you are trying to keep 4 kids quiet in the store or some other place where people don't appreciate noise.
We are a walking freak show. Whether I am with Joe or Mom, people stare at us when we walk by them with all these little kids. You can see them counting them up in their head!
Not too excited about tummy time
Travis' first time in the bumbo - needs a little practice
Will's first time in the bumb0 - you can see the craziness that always surrounds these boys
Will and Travis notice each other for the first time

Ticklish!
If this doesn't make you smile, I don't know what will!
I don't know why the quality is so bad, it looked a lot better before I loaded it into blogger. Anyone have any ideas how to make it better?

Emily - 3.25 years
All of a sudden, Emily has quite the imagination. She has been cracking us up with her stories about her 15 grandchildren that live in her rainbow house "up at 1604" and ride in her rainbow car. (1604 is the outer loop that circles San Antonio) She is always packing up for her next trip and encouraging Maddie to join her. There has been much more "be-tending" (pretending), but I am drawing a blank at the moment.
She loves her little brothers and is always interacting with them. They usually greet her with a big smile. Here are a few videos of her with them on the day of the UT game (there might have been another team playing in that game??) You may not be able to understand everything she says, but trust me, her articulation has improved a lot in the last 3 months.
Maddie - 21 and 22 months
Well I missed posting for Maddie's 21 month birthday and I'm late on the 22nd. But here are a few pics of our Maddie. Let me tell you, she is something else. She really reminds me of my cousin Alicia. We showed her a picture of Alicia around the same age and she said "me". Alicia earned the nickname "Hurricane Alicia" sometime along the way and it seems as though Maddie is following in similar footsteps. She is talking more and more, making small sentences that frequently contain the words "me" and "mine". She loves to dance and mimic her sister's every move.

Maddie's first pigtails
Thrilled with her new outfit and especially loves the belt. Mommy, Daddy,and Grandma aren't thrilled with the belt because we have to help her with it at every potty time!
