17.5 months

Ok I admit it...I lied in my last post.  An update did not come soon.  My apologies.

Wow.  It has been a crazy month.  In short...Keith accepted a new job in Clyde at Clyde H.S. (go Bulldogs) as the girls athletic coordinate,  head girls basketball coach and head cross country.  So we got to move again.  Lucky us!  We have a pretty awesome house and live minutes away from Keith's sister and family and a short walk away from a pretty cool park.  We also have already made some friends across the street who have a 10 month old.  Clyde is a good 15 minutes away from the big city of Abilene.  I am getting adjusted to having to drive a little bit to see a walmart.  Although they do have their own grocery store here but its kinda pricey  $7.09 for a 1/2 gallon of blue bell!  Geez!

The babies have taken the move fairly well.  They went several days off their schedule which equals CRANKINESS! They have loved exploring their new house and we have pretty much baby proofed everything except our room.  So they are able to roam about.  They have really enjoyed going to the park.  They are able to climb up everything and even get brave enough to slide down a few slides.

Presley - last doctor visit she weighed 20 lbs and was in the 50th percentile for height.  She is so sweet and kind of a ham.  She also can be very defiant.  You tell her no and she laughs at you.  You slap her hand she tells you no, hits you, and then goes and hits her brothers.  Oye,.  She is sweet though and still loves to dance and give hugs to her stuffed animals and sometimes brothers.  Presley is still the daredevil...not scared of anything.

Keegan - at his last doctor visit he weighed 29 lbs and was about the 50th percentile for height.  He has had a rough start in Clyde.  He got stung by a scorpion!!!  He was okay though and handled it well.  He also got attacked my mosquitoes which I think he may be someone allergic to because is bites swell up and get a little blistery.  He also tends to be the one to always step in the sticker burr things.  Those are AWFUL here.  Keegan is still sweet as can be.  He is talking a little more half the time with his mouth closed.  He maybe the next famous ventriloquist.  He also loves shoes.  He carries them around, moves them about, gives them to his brother and sister and says "shhhh"

Ashton - his last visit he weighed 27 lbs and was in the 75 percentile on height.  He has been a lot less grumpy THANK GOODNESS!  He has also become very sweet and giving of hugs and kisses. He has also gotten a lot better about sharing.  Not all the time but he will give stuff to his brother or sister.

We have been working on sharing, talking, eating with our spoon and fork, following directions, undressing self, cleaning up before bed, and washing self.

I can't wait for them to start talking more (I know everyone says kids are great until they start talking but that's crazy)

Pictures will be here soon.  The blog is uploading them weird and off color.  I will try again later.
