Baby Twins are coming soon! Bailey & Raegan

We went to "Aunt Buff's" shower today. She is due with twin girls at the beginning of April. Our baby Briley was born April 2nd so maybe they will arrive on that day! A funny story on Paityn - when she was a toddler, she was quite the talker. Unlike Briley who merely utters words at almost two years old, Paityn was speaking in sentences by now. BUT, she couldn't quite master the word Stephanie so hence, Buff was brought to life. Aunt Steph liked the name soooo well, it has stuck ever since! We love you Buff! Congratulations and we can't wait to spoil some more girls rotten! Uncle Matt, you're way outnumbered so just get used to it now! :-) Girls, girls, girls! You really won't have a chance!
We had to get both names in the pics. (Sorry the first one is dark - not a photographer?)

Of course, mom made the cake so we had to showcase it here for all to see! It was one layer strawberry and one layer white - just to be extra girly! The pacifiers down the middle were for the girls and may come in handy very soon. We got 3 different kinds because if those baby girls are anything like Briley, they may just be a little "picky"! :-0

Oh YES, I CAN dress myself - kinda!

Here we see Briley in her most recent attempts to dress herself - minus the shirt, she put the pajama pants and pull-up on ALL BY HERSELF!! Obviously, we don't think much of the pull-up. At times, it might as well be on her head becuase we sure aren't using it elsewhere! Seriously, Briley really does well going potty at night when we are home and in a routine and also first thing when she wakes up. She gives the hand signal and off we race to the potty. However, she does like to dump the potty all by herself and that poses another problem altogether. :-o



The Many Faces of BRILEY

Here, Briley is mad - supposed to be "gritting" her teeth! :-o
Next, here are her "evil eyes" - she's getting pretty good at this one!
Now, we are sad - an overly emphasized frown!
Last, we have our famous silly face - learned from big sister Paityn!
