Picture with the Easter Bunny

Cole and Reid both got very excited when they saw the Easter Bunny at the mall today. So even though we weren't dressed for the occasion, I decided to go ahead and get a picture. Reid was yelling, "hi" and waving frantically at the bunny until we got about 5 feet away. Then he refused to go any further. I picked him up and put him on the bench and the photographer snapped this picture. 3 seconds later he lost it and started screaming!

Things are a bit crazy around here!

Juggling 3 kids hasn't been nearly as bad as I expected, but of course we have our moments. A few nights ago Brien went out for the evening, so I was left to put the trio to bed myself.

Most of the night went fine and then it was time for bath. I put Molly in her crib (cue the screaming) so I could bathe the boys. I turned on the bath, sent Cole into his room to undress and went with Reid to his room. I was pulling out pj's while Reid was looking at some books on the floor. I told Cole to go potty and headed to his room to get his pj's. He came running back into his bedroom laughing hysterically and saying, "Reid is in the bathroom." In a stern voice I told him to go potty and stop fooling around, it's fine if Reid is in there. I followed him back to the bathroom and find Reid sitting, fully clothed, in the filled bath tub. I burst out laughing, stripped his clothes and HUGE diaper off him and had a little talk with him about getting into the bath with his clothes on and without Mommy or Daddy. Of course he has no idea what I'm talking about!

One more quick picture of the boys cooperating while I typed this post:

Molly is 1 month old!

She is such a sweet baby. She rarely cries and is sleeping so well. Most nights she gives us 6-7 hours stretches!

She had her 1 month well visit last week. We have been living at the pediatrician's office. Between her frequent weight checks and illnesses around here. Poor girl had a bad cold and an ear infection, but is mostly better now. She weighed in at 9lbs 10 oz (75%), 22.25 inches long (95%), and her head is 37 cm (50%).
