look who's crawling!

yeah! at last our little guy is crawling. i was afraid that he would skip crawling and go right into walking like many of the first children have done on my side of the family. this boy loves to walk around everywhere while you're holding his hands, and now that he can crawl life is so much more fun for him. i read that the average age of crawling is between 7-10 months, and i think he was aware of that so decided he better start doing it a week before he hit the 10 month mark. he already had the skills of pulling himself up, cruising around the furniture and standing alone for a little, and now crawling makes it so he can connect everything together. check him out! it's a pretty cute crawl, one leg looks like it's trying to walk while the other just slides along.

one of his favorite places to play is underneath the kitchen table. what a cute guy!

this little guy loves blankets. he LOVES them. when he was smaller he would put them over his face and inhale them. now he loves to eat them. as soon as one is in his hand it goes straight to his mouth.

look! no hands!

already multi-tasking. reading and eating at the same time!

p.s.

APRIL FOOLS' DAY! We're actually expecting quadruplets. The last one couldn't fit into the ultrasound. Just kidding! Did we get you at all? Maybe even for just a few seconds? I know I even got the husband for a little bit when I showed him the post. Hope you all have a wonderful April Fools' Day. Don't get into too much mischief! Oh, and by the way, no we're not pregnant.

here it is

well, our world will soon dramatically change. for those of you who don't know, we're expecting. we're not just expecting one baby though...

triplets!!! can you believe it?!? we still can't quite grasp our minds around it. we are currently 23 weeks along, so check a calendar, see what today is, and figure out when we're due. So crazy that we will quickly go from a family of 3 to a family of 6! I hope Joseph is ready for this. I know I'm not!

can't get enough

ever since Joey was born, we haven't been able to get enough of him. we would take pictures and videos of him during the day, and then after he had gone to bed we would find ourselves looking at those pictures and videos. he just means so much to us, and we love him so much! we just can't get enough of him!

he has learned to pop the lid off his puffs with his mouth, and this is how i found him one day
he likes to shake things if you couldn't tell

i read an article that said there are different forms of crawling, and one of them is the "crab crawl." this is where they move along on their tummy, but often to their frustration, backwards! i guess if that is considered crawling, then our little guy is crawling! he slithered under the kitchen table and all the way to the fridge.

check out his tongue click! he only does it at the beginning. it's so much fun!

that's all for now!

christmas and some

time sure goes by fast sometimes, so here's a little update!

our little guy just LOVES his baths! he used to put one toy in each hand and a third in his mouth! it was so funny and cute to watch him, almost like bobbing for apples. now he has resorted to splashing the water furiously causing the water level to drastically plummet.

first time to the beach during Christmas. it was sooooo windy at Newport, fortunately Grandpa lent his jacket to keep our precious warmer. this is on the pier

we went and checked out the Rose Parade floats in process. so neat to be able to see how they make them and all the work that goes into them. this is a picture of all the boys

and this is a picture of the girls plus our cutie

we went to the L.A. temple and checked out the new visitor center - amazing! it was so neat to look at, very interactive and high tech. this is our cute little family picture by the temple. Joey was having fun bonking his head with mine and laughing.
