A Very Happy Day

The past 3 days have been truly wonderful. The kids have been great. Learning all sorts of new tricks. Being silly. Laughing. Playing. Sleeping. Doing all the things normal siblings should do.

I've been able to sit back and watch the kids--BE Kids. After all the stress and tribulations it was nice to sit down and watch the kids play with each other and to hear them laughing as they played. Especially nice with Sebastian who is really back to normal for the most part.

Sebastian is actively holding his bottle with 2 hands. He is banging 2 spoons together. He is beginning to use his right hand to feed himself Cheerios and other food. Rachel is almost walking. She's only a few days or a couple of weeks away from walking on her own. Sebastian will most likely be about 3 weeks behind her.
Austin is making up stories to tell us and talking in more complete sentences. He has decided that all little kids are his friends.

We are just so blessed. We've just about burst with joy several times watching Austin play with Sebastian and making Sebastian laugh. I'm constantly giggling as I watch Sebastian and Rachel steal each other's toys, food, etc. and then exact their revenge on the intruding party. Which usually means that the offending sibling is sat upon and their food or toy is removed in the same fashion.

We've had a normal, crazy week and it was wonderful. I won't dwell on the negative things still plaguing us but will rather bask in the silliness and happiness that is 3 babies playing and laughing with each other.

Have a wonder weekend and don't forget to laugh.
