Hand Me Ups?
I came home the other day and Alyssa was dressed in a pair of shorts that I didn't recognize as being hers. I looked closer and realized that they were Aiden's shorts. And not only were they Aiden's shorts... they were Aiden's shorts in size 3/6 months.

TGIF!
We have had a rough week in the Robles household this week as all 3 kids came down with colds and all sorts of other fun sicknesses. :-) Thankfully, I think we are on the way to everyone feeling 100% better. I took some pictures but forgot my camera at home so those will have to wait. I am so glad that the week is almost over and hopefully we will have a much better weekend.
Here is a picture of Kaylee and her drawing of a bumble bee:

She is very into drawing these days and last night she drew a picture of everyone in our family. We all looked like blobs with stick arms and legs but she was proud of her art work and I love the creativity that I see coming out more each day.

24 Weeks Old!
Here are a few photos from this past week. In the first one, he was dancing with Daddy. All of the kids like to listen to music and learn new dance moves from Tony. Aiden is right there along with them.
Unfortunately, all 3 of the kids are sick right now so Aiden is experiencing his first cold. He isn't sleeping well and does not like having a stuffy nose. It makes for one very cranky baby boy. Wonder where he gets that from? Hopefully they will all be feeling better soon.

Fair Photos
Here are a few pictures from our trip to the fair. Thank you Jamie for taking and sharing the photos! You can tell how much fun all the kids, K&A, Jaiden, Alena, and Sean, were having.
For some reason when we ask Kaylee where she got the froggy that Daddy won (ehh hmm.. bought) she will say she got it from the "tooth fairy." I am not sure where the confusion is coming from between the "fair" and the "tooth fairy." Guess that is just her being silly as usual. K&A both talk about how they did not like the one ride I had them get on that spins. They both say it was "too spinny and too fast." You can tell they enjoyed the train, worm, and car rides though.

Aiden seems to change so much every single week. He is now rolling all around to get to his toys. It doesn't matter if he has to roll over five times just to get to his purple octopus toy - he is up for the challenge! He is also very into talking these days and all kinds of sounds come bubbling out. We all get a big kick out of listening to him talk back to the girls. I think he knows he has talk loud to be heard over them! He took his first trip to the county fair this past weekend and he was such a good boy. I just knew he would be fussy since we disrupted his routine but he did surprisingly well. He has always been very dependent on long naps twice a day but I think he is slowly easing out of that pattern. He is becoming so nosy and doesn't want to miss a single thing. His hair continues to stick up higher and higher. I gave up on trying to smooth it down. I always did that with the girls chickie fuzz but then wanted it back as soon as it started to grow out. I like to give Aiden little mohawks and to rub my cheek against his hair. It brings back so many memories from the twins newborn days. Amazing how much he looks like them...especially Kaylee. The biggest compliment we (or should I say he) received this week was when his Grandfather said he sure was getting chubby thighs. I believe he called them "ham hocks" to be exact. Little did he know that he would make my day with that innocent comment. I mean could I ask for anything more? HeHe.
The other night I was laying in bed with Aiden going through our nightly bedtime ritual. I have to escape to our room and close the door because Aiden's bedtime happens to coincide with the girls loudest and craziest time of the day. I guess they are fully living up their last half an hour before bed time. Anyway, our bedtime ritual involves lots and lots of snuggling. I can't really express how much those quiet moments with just the two of us mean to me. It hit me the other night that these moments won't last forever. Just as the girls have grown up in a blink of an eye... so will Aiden. Sure, the girls still love to be held and cuddled at times...but it is all dependent on when they feel like slowing down for a second. Those thoughts led to many, many more cuddles and kisses for Aiden that particular night as well as a trip to the girls room to smother them in kisses before falling asleep.
Looking back, a part of me wishes I could have more of these special quiet moments with each of the girls as infants. Don't get me wrong - I loved the twins from the moment I became pregnant with them. But having newborn twins doesn't allow for many of those special mommy-baby moments...like snuggling your baby on your chest, playing with their little fingers and toes, listening to them breathe, or having the chance to rock them to sleep every night. I was able to do those things with the girls but never for very long. And, never without getting distracted by the other one crying or feeling guilty for paying more attention to one than the other.
It is just totally different having only one baby at a time. It is so much easier to manage and I am so glad I was able to have both experiences as a Mother. It isn't always easy by any means but it is well worth it all. I feel like Aiden has completed our family in so many ways but the best part has been watching the girls turn into big sisters. K&A are totally in love with having a baby brother and the fact that they are "big sisters." They are doing a pretty awesome job at it too!
Okay, enough of the sappiness (just can't help it sometimes). Here are a few more pics of the little man. I would share more of the girls but they haven't wanted to indulge Mommy and her camera lately. :-)

Weekend Recap
On Friday, Tony and I celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary! We went out for a very nice dinner at the Prime Street Grille in White Plains. We both had the Filet Mignon and choice of two sides and it was very good. The best part was the cheesecake dessert though!
It is hard to imagine that we have been married for 5 years already. That always seemed so far off when we were thinking ahead! Luckily, they have been 5 incredible years and we have been blessed beyond our wildest dreams as both a couple and as a family. I am proud of how far we have come together and can't wait to see what the next 5 years will bring. Actually, we are already planning our 10 year anniversary vacation. Better get ready for a very busy long weekend Mom!
Other weekend plans included a trip to the Charles County Fair with family friends. We were a bit apprehensive about taking Aiden out right during his morning nap but he did amazingly well. The girls had a wonderful time on the rides (and Mommy too!) with their friends Jaiden, Alena, and Sean and we enjoyed the great company of our wonderful friends. I have not been to the fair in many years but it hasn't changed a bit. It was just funny that we were now taking our children there instead of running around riding rides and playing games ourselves. Very different but lots of fun! Alyssa and I won her a cute monkey and Daddy cheated and bought Kaylee a HUGE frog. I was very impressed when I thought he had won that but it seems he took the easy way out and just asked the guy how much he wanted for the frog. Cheater! :-) There will be pictures to share very soon.
The rest of the weekend was very relaxing. I managed to take a nap with the kids all 3 days! Can't beat that. :-)
