3 months and pre-Easter festivites

Someone is 3 months old!!!!!

 Big smiles!!!

 Grandma Ann came to visit us this past week and weekend...we were busy but sure had a lot of fun!  Thursday mommy and Brayden went with his school on a fieldtrip to the zoo (pics to come later) and then on Saturday mommy helped run an Easter Egg Hunt...so grandma helped with the kids!  Here they are all dolled up in their Easter gear from grandma....everyone had a great time!

Little Miss Haddie turned 3 months...time is flying around here!  At 3 months she is still a super great eater...about 5ounces each feeding....and we still "wake" her for a dream feed at 10pm and then she sleeps until almost 6am...pretty much a rockstar!  Naps are a little tough around here...she really does not prefer to nap in her crib or pack and play...she prefers mommy's arms....so we will work on that!  She is super happy and giggly!  She loves looking around and is entertained by the boys!  She has found her hands and those are the best things around.  No rolling over yet....but you can tell she wants to soon!  She is still in 3 month clothing.  She weighed in at 12 pounds 11 ounces (47%) and measured 24 inches (74%).  She is healthy and happy and we just cannot get enough of her!

 Dying easter eggs....the boys did great and Haddie was the supervisor....they turned out great!

 Easter Bunny cinnamon rolls....looked a little more like bears than bunnies....but still yummy!!!

 I'm pooped!  So much fun with grandma!!!!

 Easter Egg Hunt before Grandma Ann left

 Finally got a little pink bath towel....she can sure rock blue though!

March Update

Finally got the kids haircuts....poor Brayden was starting to rock a 10-90 and Marshall had a nightmare of bed head....so here are their new dos!

Who you callin? Little Marshall with his new Spike like daddy hair do....calling someone on his remote control car controller...

 Handsome Brayden...he is looking so old these days!

 Happy St Patricks Day....my 3 lucky charms

The boys built a leprechaun trap this year....we did not catch him...

 but we did catch some donuts in the morning from him!

 Miss Hadley is getting better and better at tummy time...and last week she rolled/tipped over 5 times in a row....she has not repeated that trick again yet....but its only a matter of time!

 Relived that workout is done!

 The last weekend in March, we headed to Belleville to visit family....and it just so happens that for the first time in probably 10 years everyone was in town....so here are all the Carter and Coyle kids and grandkids....11 of them!!!!

 Everyone was excited to celebrate Bo's 60th

 As you can see, my boys were front and center for the cake....they did not want to miss out on that treat!

 All 11 grandkids....thats a lot of kids!!!!!

All 5  grown kids and their other half...

Mom and Bo

Haddie got lots of love and snuggles as you can see....from the girls

 Janet

 and great-grandpa could not get enough!

 Once we got back to town....we needed Mr Fix-It and BIG time....our dishwasher flooded....leaked water out under the floor...so not only did we need a new dishwasher but probably a whole new floor---the joy of owning a home....good thing this little cute handy man was available to help me...since dad was out of town!

 His assistnant

 Great-grandma sent Haddie this cute bunny hat....she obviously loves it...as you can tell from her big smiles!  She is smiling, laughing, cooing, watching her brothers like crazy these days....and as of last night she slept in her own room (daddy kicked her out---I think I would have kept her in our room in the bassinet until she was at least 5).  She slept great, I think mom had a harder time adjusting than her!

On a side note, today Brayden told me that when Haddie gets bigger, he is going to marry her---the boys seriously love their little sister more than anything!  I am sure she is going to rock their world once she gets moving, but until then...I am just going to relish every moment!
