the last month or so

evidentally i can only blog if i take pictures... and since i haven't uploaded pictures in a while i have no idea what we've done that's blog-worthy :). anyways, these are a few things we have done (mostly pictures of malachi, because he's the one that's growing and changing the most). i'm sure there have been a number of other things/activities/people we should have blogged about, but this is what i have record of:
this one is from a while back, we were watching these good friends while their mom was having a baby one friday, it was freezing and we'd played a little in the snow, but it was too hard for me to keep track of all 5 kids in the cold, so mostly we played inside, this is the locomotion :)
ps, note afton's shirt, it's a favorite, she wears it a lot!

another favorite is inside bubbles. these stacking bubbles are grat because they don't leave a sticky or soapy residue, so you can blow/pop them and chatch and stack them. we got them for christmas, and the girls love 'em!

malachi's a climber (just like his sisters). he likes this little horse, but mostly he likes getting on and off, not rocking or rolling

he's also quite the little pianist. he frequently stretches up so he can reach the keys and plays. he also likes sitting under like this and banging his head backwards against the hollow front... i'm not sure why, but i think it's funny!

i did mention he's a climber, right? he not only climbs onto the couch by himself, he goes right up the back into the window. the sad thing is, it's relatively 'safe,' so i don't even try to stop him anymore... there are too many other places he likes climbing that scare me more!

he still mostly likes eating big people food. even if it's broccoli. for the past two days he's been refusing even to eat his favorites of the baby food, but whatever i give him that he can do himself usually gets at least tasted. this soup was great cause it had a lot of veggies that were soft enough that i didn't have to worry about him choking.
like i said, i'm sure there were lots of other things we've done, but since there weren't pics, i don't know what! we are very busy being a fmaily of 5. three children are a lot more than i ever realized now that they're my own!

Libs is going through the same thing with food. If she can't put it in her mouth herself, she doesn't want it!

Funny how all the littles start feeling that way. Even Ainslee who is only 6 months likes stuff with chunks. She doesn't know what to do with most of it, but she likes the taste lots better.
