The ole' NICU pals

Who would ever believe that these girls weighed just four pounds five months ago? Pretty amazing that all three of them together would equal just one of them today! They have been through so much and you would never know it - such strong little fighters they are! Mia and Emma are adorable - smiling and talking like crazy. Teagan was so excited to hang out with people that talk her language, so much so it was hard to tell them apart. Good thing I didn't dress Teagan in her pink pants today :) Even their little voices sound alike.

Strong woman!

The Jumparoo

Thanks to some very nice friends of ours Teagan has a new amazing toy. It allows her to do her FAVORITE thing - STAND! Yes we vowed to not have a house full of baby contraptions but here is yet another one - and don't we LOVE it! hahahaha. So much for being minimalists :)

Yes, she is standing on a book. She's so close to being able to touch.

Telling secrets

Teagan played hostess the other day and invited her friend Dahlia over to play. I don't think that Dahlia knew that our house is not just close to the zoo, it is one.

These toys are getting boring, let's do something better

Hey "T" come here, I have something to tell you . . .

No it's not down there . . .

It's a bird, it's a plane, no . . .

It's Meriwether Lewis the flying leopard!

Take her out to the ball game!

It was Teagan's cousin Eli's big birthday weekend so he and Teagan were treated to their first Mariners game. They lost of course but it didn't dampen the festive time we all had. Sawyer was the super fan dressed in her Mariners cheerleading uniform while the little ones took turns napping. Teagan did wake up in time to play her favorite new game "flying baby!"

The birthday boy! (3-years-old)

Uncle Derek and the "flying baby!"

And again!

Really enjoying the game :)



A little too young for this...

5 months old and already non-reving!

It's hard to believe that Teagan has already tripled her birth weight of 4 pounds in just 5 months. Back in February we couldn't wait for her to get bigger and now we're hoping that she takes her time and slows down. Time is marching right on by and she is getting so big so fast! Teagan and I flew to Spokane last week to spend a few days at Grams and Bips house in Sandpoint, ID. She was the perfect travel companion. I'm sure all the boys (Will, Lewis and Clark) missed us terribly, although it sounds like they enjoyed themselves and the peace and quiet much to much without us.

Did I mention how much Teagan likes to stand! She is a woman possessed!

Tiptoeing Teagan - our little ballerina

It usually takes a ballerina a good 13 years before they graduate to "Toe". It's taken Teagan just 5 months! She makes such a sweet little girl but I'm determined to teach her to fly fish and wear flannel :) Just like her Mama....

Teagan's visitors

I am a lucky, lucky little girl! Not only did I get to meet my Aunt Kate and Uncle John last week but now I've had a chance to play with my Great Grandma Sha Sha, my Great Aunts Allan and Ann and my Great Uncle Garry! It's already been one heck of a summer! My Mama and Daddy say it's all because of me that everyone is traveling so far. Since they came so far I decided to learn a new trick for all them - I can STAND! Well sort of :)

My new Ralph Lauren dress and kid leather shoes :) Thanks A A

I'm SO EXCITED!!!!

Getting acquainted

Playing with A A

Standing is so much more fun in leather :)

I love my Sha Sha

Ann, you look just like me :)
