Cool Stuff!

The last couple of weeks have really been amazing for Katie and I, watching the babies grow and develop. What is really fun to watch is that each one of the babies are developing differently and at their own pace. Drew was the first to roll over from back to tummy, Claire last weekend rolled over from tummy to back, she hasn't done it since but we know she can do it! Matt, well bless his cotton socks, he tries but the rolling over isn't in the cards for him yet.

Claire is babbling and has just the cutest little girl personality. Matt is quite vocal to say the least! He can really let you know he is in the room, let's put it that way! Matt is simply, "ALL BOY" he is just solid as a rock and just reminds you of a ton of bricks when you pick him up. Drew is really somewhere in between, he is such a calm, gentle and funny little guy. He loves to play and roll around and he loves to be held and kissed a ton too!

The babies are still sleeping through the night, down around 6:30pm and we start hearing Matt's roar around 5:30am. Katie and I love our evenings together and the fact that we can get a good nights rest. Sleep and rest has really changed our lives and made an impact on our marriage. I am not sure we knew how sleep deprived we were in the first few months when we were going through it. Now, we look back and say, "How in the WORLD did we survive that!?" The first answer is our parents, but it was also a ton of hard work mostly on Katie's part. Really wild looking back even just a few months back in our lives...

Claire went to the eye doctor for a check up on her hymangianoma (sp) on her left eye lid. It isn't getting bigger but not much smaller either. We have to take her downtown to Dallas to have a test run in the next couple of months and the Dr. wants to keep a close look on her eye lid. We are all praying that it will not require any surgery...

One last quick note, our wonderful friend and photographer, Melissa Zihlman was gracious enough to give us a canvas of the babies picture that she took, the Puppy Pile. This picture hung in her doctors office for a few months then she passed it along to us to keep. Katie and I couldn't wait to get it hung over our bed! We are both just in awe every time we look at it! Here is what it looks like hung up! Thank you so much Melissa!!! :)

Love,

Todd, Katie, Claire, Matt and Drewbie!
