Christmas Afternoon

The boys woke up from their afternoon nap and there was more excitement waiting for them. The boys spent the afternoon hanging out upstairs playing with their new toys which provided them the opportunity to practice their new pulling up and standing skills. In the picture below, the boys are playing with their learn and play table and you can see Jared standing up. Wesley pulled up for the first time on Sunday evening and by Monday, Jared was pulling up. It's almost like he saw Wesley stand up and said, "oh yeah, I can do that." Now they are both pulling up all over the place! Andrew is working on his own pace but look..... he is standing too......

(Please ignore the support being provided by Daddy.) I had previously mentioned that I thought Andrew was holding off on crawling until he was at Grandma's house. Well, I was partly right. This morning, he sat up on his own for the first time! I found him sitting up in his pack n play! He is also moving around much better. It's not a crawl but more like an "inch worm" kind of move. However, he is getting around much better.

After playing for a little while, family started to show up for the Christmas festivities. Aunt Pam and Zack arrived and we were able to open their gifts. We love our new toy cell phone and clothes! Aunt Pam fired up the Skye and we were able to visit with Uncle Brian in Greece and then Aunt Theresa and Uncle David in Virginia. Aunt Pam kept moving the web cam around the room to show the triplets. Uncle David even questioned whether there really were three because he could only see one at a time. We were finally able to get them all in the same shot so he had his proof of triplets :-)

Aunt Kim and Uncle Lance arrived and then the boys were able to open their gifts. The boys really loved the paper tags that they gave them. They also thought the Curious George stuffed animal attached to the tags were pretty neat as well. Here is Wesley tasting his new gift...

Jared just "kicking" back with Uncle Lance....

Can you spot the baby in this photo??? They both look like cute little monkeys to me.....

We are having such a wonderful day, I am not sure it can get any better. Once the boys played for a little while, they were off to take their afternoon nap.... rest up boys, there is more to come....

Take care,
