I guess I have gotten a little lazy with actual written updates on the boys. It's usually easier to upload some pics at nap-time or after bedtime and be done with it. So here is a quick run down. (If that's possible to do for four boys.) The boys will have their 15month check up on the 27th so I will have more stats and updates then. Cooper West...aahhh. He is my little sweet heart. He is the most patient, content and always with a smile. He is currently not walking but only out of fear. He can let go and take a few steps until he realizes what he is doing and plops down. He is my eater...he will eat most anything and enjoys it. (He is a nice mixture of Respondek, McCarrell & Webster...all accomplished eaters. lol) He gets along well with his Brothers...but watch out...if you cross him, he bites! lol
Greyson Reid... Greyson is proving to be a hot head and easy to have a temper. He does this thing where he crawls off in a fit of rage until he has "cooled his jets." After that he goes back to sweet Greyson. He, like Cooper is not walking yet. Same thing goes...just fear. I think they are a lot like me...very careful, not much of a dare devil. I sometimes worry about the walking thing but since they can do it, I feel a little better. Curious to see what Dr. Dentler says. They are climbing...climbing all over everything! Especially Greyson, he loves to get up on the couch to look out the window or just to watch tv, etc.
Bode! Bode! Bode Frank! BODE FRANK! He hears that a lot! I'm sure this will be life long. He is so smart and such a stinker. Most of us think he is all Respondek in looks but I tease that he acts like his Daddy. He is walking, pretty much running actually. He is a screamer...has this horrible blood curdling scream. I think it's mostly out of frustration because he can't verbalize exactly what he wants just yet. Lets hope he grows out of that soon. He is still the smallest in weight but is longer. He def has Respondek hands and feet (big and long.) I foresee spending a lot on his shoes in the future. His feet are a whole toe length longer than the twins. He also seems to have this babble language that he expects you to understand. It's funny!
All the boys love to hug and kiss, each other and everyone else. It is so cute! On the flip side, I often hear screams from another room and find that they are in an all out brawl over a toy or really anything that the other one wants. Fun times! All are saying a few words, including Mama, Daddeee, cat and sometimes No! They truly are a blessing!
And my Precious Peyton Ross. He is such a handsome little boy...I'm not biased or anything. lol I think he has his days where the Trips are just too much but he has handled them beautifully for the most part. Sometimes he gets a little too rough and I always warn him that it will come back to bite him in the rear when they are older...and quite possibly bigger than him...a triple threat for sure! He plays well with them but I know he longs for the day that they can play equally and interact with each other (verbally speaking.) Starting in September, he will go to a Mothers Day Out at our church, two days a week. He really needs that interaction with other kiddos his age and a refresher course on ABC's, 123's, colors, shapes, etc. before kindergarten. We are both looking forward to it. He gets a little WILD somedays but I think this will give him that activity outside of the home that he needs. He loves the outdoors and loves to talk about anything hunting and police officer, & gun/weapon related. (Who knows where that comes from? lol) His favorite tv shoes are Swamp People, Hogs Gone Wild, Billy the Exterminator and anything on NickJr. He is very busy...keeps us on our toes!
