I love love these cutie pies!  You may have noticed, but Rose\u2019s shoes are on backwards, which is totally perfect!  Even better, I didn\u2019t notice until I saw these pictures on the computer\u2026 no telling how long she wore them that way!  That\u2019s just our life right now; crazy busy, rollin\u2019 with the flow, doin\u2019 our thing, trying to have fun amidst a whole lot of deep thinking.  These girls are beyond anything we could have ever imagined, and we are crazy about each one as if they were the only one.  <\/p>\n

Anna Kate is my comfort child!  She is always ready to give me a hug and afterward she\u2019ll ask, \u201cDo you know why I just hugged you?\u201d and I\u2019ll say, \u201cNo, why?\u201d and she\u2019ll say, \u201cBecause I love you!\u201d  She is coming out of the terrible 2s that goes into the 3s, but it wasn\u2019t that bad.  Her brain wigged out on her, and she has had tantrums with the best of them, but it was all expected, and we gave her time and space to work through the norm of her age.  She\u2019s always been so easy.  I give her the credit for us having enough energy to attempt a third child.  She was a perfect baby (our only one without colic), and she\u2019s always been a sweet snuggler, now more than ever!  She still loves to be rocked, and when we get her in bed, she loves for us to lay with her and talk about letters.  We do this every night.  I can\u2019t kiss her enough!  She\u2019s witty, funny, and a very good girl.  We are proud of you, Anna Kate!  You\u2019re awesome!  Love ya!<\/p>\n

Rose is coming into her own these days\u2026 to say the least.  Right as one comes out of the funk, the other is moving right in behind her.  But she\u2019s so stinkin\u2019 cute that it\u2019s so tough to stay consistent, especially the third time around.  She\u2019s been given a lot more grace, but she\u2019s had to deal with a lot more action around her too.  Rose knows how to stand her ground and defend herself and her territory (toys, blankets, anything she has first).  I love her spunk!  I never worry about her being too sensitive or standing in the back wondering if everything is going to be okay.  She\u2019ll be the one right up front and center, working it out.  On the other hand, she\u2019s so grateful, friendly, and appreciative for everything.  Rarely does she not say, \u201cThank you, Mommy!\u201d after I change her diaper or \u201cThank you, Daddy!\u201d when he puts her in her high chair.  It\u2019s amazing!  When we run errands, she\u2019s waving and blowing kisses, engaging everyone she possibly can.  This little girl has put more smiles on people\u2019s faces in a given day than I do\u2026 she has a special gift of openness and friendliness.  I think she\u2019ll be our one who will be able to talk to anyone about anything.  I\u2019m just so excited to watch her grow!  Baby Rose, we love you to the moon and back!  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
