Sunday Church

We went to church today and the boys were great in sunday school. We had a number of people ask about you but I am terrible with names so you'll have to do with out the specifics. Jake prowled the room like a tiger doing laps and playing with everything in sight. The Aunties said he was great and kept trying to hug his cousin. We had lunch at the church and came right home for naps. All three slept for about two hours giving me time to read, Scott time for WOW, and Kate a chance to nap herself. When they got up we went to the beach which you will no doubt have seen in the video above. It was a great Sunday afternoon and things are really going great. Scott, Kate and I have a dance we do with the boys getting one fed and another cleaned. We are working pretty well as a team lately, much like the triangle offense that I know you love Mandy. You know, the one the mighty Lakers run. Everyone moving together doing what needs to be done.

Gone are the Grandmas

The boys are playing together again and they seem to be doing well after a time of feeling each other out. Henry can crawl now and Jake can walk so they are lot more mobile. Finn and Jake follow Kate around where ever she goes while Henry starts to crawl, then stops as everyone comes back. Kate had all of them mesmerized by a top until Finn kept touching it to stop it and Jake and Henry just wanted to sit in her lap. I wonder how these adjustments are for the boys going from Grand parent time to just one of three again. They all got some serious spoiling time from their grandmas and now they are back to vying for a limited amount of attention. I know it's good for them to work that out and have that community but the working out has to be strange for them. Henry is having some trouble getting back into this time zone and to a lesser extent so if Finn, but they are both sleeping well at night. Tonight everyone has their own space for the first time in two months so we will see what that means for sleeping. Adjustments for one and all.

A lovely Afternoon

Jake tried to escape to the pool, Finn is his guard, Kate reads in the sun, and Henry smiles. It was a lovely afternoon.

An afternoon at the Dole Plantation

Beefy yogurt Nipples

Kate is pretty high and mighty about her ability to feed Jake without making a a huge mess. Scott and I are not as good and she points this out to us on a regular basis. Jake is fast and like to grab the spoon or at least smack it if your not paying complete attention. That leads to baby food on the walls and splatters all over his chair and his belly. Well today Kate was feeding the little eating monster and spilled a spoon full of baby food on Jake's belly. No big deal, it happens when your feeding a baby, but because she is so above it all and taunts Scott and I about it I couldn't let it go. "What happen there honey?" "What are you talking about, nothing happened." "Why does Jake have baby food all over his chest, he's Jake 'Beefy yogurt nipples' Cuda right now." The whole time Jake was smiling and waving his arms like crazy. I think he knew that little miss "I'm better then you are" was getting her comeuppance. He was laughing each time I called him Beefy yogurt nipples, though I think I will just shorten it to BYN.

Jake is very thoughtful

He got his auntie some flowers for taking care of him. It's amazing really how he pulled that off not even being able to walk, or talk, or read, or anything. He's a very thoughtful young man and his mommy is doing a great job of raising a gentleman already.
