Happy...

Here's a cute one of the bunch:

So, Jared is working on his last set of molars. His 'K' tooth is coming through now. He already has the 'T' tooth which came in about a month ago. He loves puzzles and games (like the Curious George Beach game and Going Fishing). He loves books and reading and picking out his own clothes.

Suzi is getting big and will get to try real (baby) food soon. She is still working on the rolling over and trying to sit by herself for a few seconds.

Julia plays "slumber party" all the time with us and her babies (dolls). She cannot wait to have a real slumber party! She wants so badly to have friends over all of the time. And she is loving Awana nights.

I'm expected to be home by May. Work keeps both Dave and I busy these days! That's it in a nutshell.

Texas Trip 2011

We went to San Antonio this month for my (step-)grandparents 50th Wedding Anniversary. Aren't they cute!

We visited with lots of family, saw the Alamo and the River Walk, and tried to relax some.

More to come later (hopefully) after I snag pictures from my sister's camera.

So, here are a few cute pictures I did not show you all before. They were put on the Mother's Day cards we sent out to the grandmothers.

Myrtle Beach Trip 2011

We went to Myrtle Beach for the last week of May. Here are a few pictures from our trip.

And the kids actually enjoying each others' company.

And we found live hermit crabs in the "ponds" on the beach near our condo.

Aren't we so cute and happy?

Dave even let me go out with the boys shark fishing.

Jared has gotten three molars in so far (I will have to update which ones later, when I have time to reference the chart.) He had his 15 month check-up and is at 20 lbs. and 30 inches. Julia turns three in a couple weeks and will have her check-up soon also. I'm half way through this pregnancy and there is still a cute baby in there. That's it for now.

Happy Spring!

Well, it has been a few months. Sorry to those who actually try to keep up-to-date with us via the blog. So, I will try to summarize, but also update about life...

Jared has 9 (or more) teeth now. Tooth Q came in around April 2nd and tooth N came in around April 16th. I also saw tooth B the other day when he was crying, but actually checking for other molars is like sticking your hand into a crocodiles mouth. He always seems to have bumps and/or bruises on his forehead (just like his sister did at this age). He loves his sister and tries to do everything she does. Jared has said hi, mama, and daddy, we think. He mumbles noises that sound like words, but we're not sure what they mean. His hands in the air and "uuhh, uuhh" very enthusiastically usually mean I want that, me too, pick me up, drink, and everything else.

Julia actually lets me put pony tails (usually pig tail style) in her hair now. She shares, by means of making sure Daddy, Mommy, Julia, and Jared all have a {insert cool object here, like lollipop}. This does not always mean that Jared may "share" and/or play with her "collection" or toy of choice at that moment. She says things like "lowly-pop" and "I not know" (even if she knows). She has full conversations with people (even on the phone). Everyone, particularly each of her cousins, is her friend.

Baby Reynolds 3 is due October 6th. Pregnancy is going fairly well again. Yay! I'm still working full time (but maybe, just maybe I can slowly work my way out of full time). And to sustain you for a while, I am adding some April pictures below. Easter egg dying at our house:

Quick - Jared Teething & Julia Potty Trained

So, this is a quick update to record information before my brain stops functioning. Jared currently has six teeth. His first tooth came in at the same time Julia's last tooth came in.

My Primary Teeth Chart is here.

His teeth order so far: P (Oct. 15), O (Oct. 17), D (Thanksgiving week-ish), G (Thanksgiving week-ish), E (Dec. 15-ish), and F (Dec. 16-ish). And I think more are coming soon! He should be walking soon. He can stand unassisted for quite a few seconds, maybe even a minute. He pushes Julia's toy stroller around all by himself and cruises on furniture.

Julia's last tooth was J and took almost two weeks to erupt the gums (from one little corner bit to the fourth corner of the flat part) starting around Oct. 15th. She is an awesome big sister and loves to do things herself. She is potty trained (with only a few accidents here and there at nap and bedtime) and wearing underwear (since the week of Thanksgiving).

And... I finally sent out Christmas cards today (and a few baby announcements with them). Hopefully I can do a few "Year in Review" updates before 2011 starts, even if only in picture form. Sending warm thoughts out.
