Daddy

Father’s Day is a significant Holiday in our house at last! I asked KC how it felt to celebrate this day for the first time, and he just shrugged and said the day of their birth was a much more significant occasion to celebrate being a dad, and that this day pales in comparison. That might be true, but I had fun making the day a little special for him. Not that I did anything that great (like the amazing Irises and Tulips complete with a vase he had sent to my mom’s house in Utah on Mother’s day). We did get to go to church with him without any kind of tantrum from me or the babies (a gift indeed), and later had a dinner of authentic Cafe Rio Barbacoa Salads (thank you google for the recipes), with key lime pie for dessert.  Sounded like a good summer meal. It was kind of selfish really, since I was the one craving it, but he enjoyed it too.  And with KC home to play with the kids, I was able to cook all day without interruptions! We had so much food that we invited some friends, the Milnes, to eat with us. It was such a pleasant, low key evening.

What can I say about KC except I love him, the kids love him, and he loves all of us. What more can you ask for?  We also love and appreciate our dads greatly. I’ve said so much about them on previous Father’s Day posts that still holds true. Happy Father’s Day to one and all.097

And why not a picture update while we’re at it.

We went to the doc. last week for a 9 month check-up. All perfect and healthy. And big. Alex around 19 1/2 lbs., Bennett 18 1/2 lbs., and Ruby 17 1/2 lbs. Consistent, eh? The doctor said they could pass for full term 9 month olds. Way to grow babies!

Holding bottles! They had their first solo feeding yesterday morning and it was wonderful. I just decided to give it a shot since they were holding them now and then, but this time it was for real. Ruby got lazy for the rest of the day and wanted it propped, but this is still an accomplishment for sure. Feedings have come a long way in the last nine months.147149154158159

So much to post, so little time. It seems like they come up with something new everyday. How can one keep up?!
