I sometime feel like life is like a roller coaster. It's going by so fast, there are many emotions, some days are up and some are down, some are scary and some are exhilarating. At times I feel that I just can't get catch up with it. Life with 3 kids is amazing, but it is so CRAZY!
So I am going to attempt to catch up with my blogging because this is a journal of my family and someday I want to print it.
In June, Tyler is 3 years old and Xander and Liam are 9 months old. Xander and Liam are both standing and Liam keeps making the attempts to take some steps. Because the twins are becoming more mobile, our house is becoming more of a tornado zone. I keep calling it tornado alley because there is a trail of destruction everywhere these kids go and then when you include Tyler, it's 10 times worse.
Tyler has become such a fun and active kid. He loves to pull all the cushions off the couches and make forts. He is so creative and likes to build fun toys out of different objects. I can't get enough of this kids smile and let me tell you he knows how to use it. His laughter is contagious and fills our house morning and night. Tyler is testing his limits even more lately. He does find ways to try and manipulate situations. For example: Tyler knows that when his TV show is done then he has to go to bed. So about 5-10 min before his show is over and before we give him a warning of bedtime, he tells me that he does not want to watch this show and wants to watch another show. Of course we don't give in. I have to give him credit for trying. Lately Tyler's speech has improved and he is trying to say words and sentences more correctly. He will still need speech therapy when ever they finally get back to us. Tyler is also feeling more comfortable with his brothers, but at the same time as they become more mobile, he also becomes more worried and protective of them and afraid that they will get hurt. He truly does love his brothers and we truly love our Ty-Ty.
In June, there was a lot of fun and cheap activities that we did. Eric took his qualifying exams for his PHD so he was pretty busy studying a lot and stressing out. He did pass his exam of, course, but there was a lot of sweat and tears. We tried to take some time and let the kids have fun outside during all of the craziness.
Bath time in our house is a lot of fun, especially with 3 kids now. After bath time, Tyler loves to get on the our bed and jump around like a monkey. Liam and Xander love to get in on the fun too.
It has been nice the have warm weather again. The weather this year has been weird. It is either raining and cold or too hot so when we get the chance we let the kids play outside. Since Tyler was a baby, he loved the sprinklers. As you can see, he still gets excited about them. I love to watch him make up games and try to get everyone to play them with him. Liam and Xander are so funny and they just chill.. This is the first time they got wet in the sprinklers. They just sat their and squinted their eyes then played with the grass.
We took the kids to a nice park and the twins got to play in the bark for the first time .Once again they are such chill kids when they try something new. We had to use the pacifiers to keep them from eating the bark. Tyler just loves the park and went all crazy running around every where. It was hard keeping up this guy and he wore his parent.
Liam is such a sweet and cute boy. He loved being in the swings for the first time.
Xander is my funny boy. When he gets excited he kicks his chubby legs and rocks himself back and forth. He really liked the swings and was trying to tell us. He is the most loud and talkative kid that we have had at this age.
Life in the West house is never dull, it's very loud, and full of energy and laughter, but we couldn't ask for a better life. Well, maybe some peace and quiet sometimes.
