Personality

I am amazed daily at how different our children really are. They all have the same DNA and were conceived within 35 months of eachother. I would assume that they would be somewhat alike. But you know what "they" say about assuming. Squish, our firstborn, seems to be the peacemaker. He was a quiet baby, and still is a fairly quiet kid. He is well behaved. He thrives on positive attention. He loves to learn. Squish soaks up new information like a sponge and retains it. He is caring towards his younger siblings. He is very non-physical towards them. He is why we thought that having two babies 16 months apart would be fairly uncomplicated. Then came Kai. Wow. Just Wow. Kai added life to our little family. He is the joker. He attracts dirt like he is covered in duct tape. He is loud. He came into the world screaming, and hasn't stopped since. He will try anything, and usually likes it. Kai also has a super sweet, huggable, sensitive side. His laugh is infections. We are still figuring Princess Girl out. She seems to be somewhere in the middle. She already adores her brothers, even after one brother has told her endless knock knock jokes and the other tried to stand on her. (Can you guess which brother did what?) PG is a lover. She is fairly content, but only for so long. She is a definate mama's girl, which mama needs since the boys are at the age where they are gravitating more towards Texy. She is tough, yet sensitive.

Squish has straight brown hair and brown eyes. (And eyelashes to DIE for) Kai has pale curly blonde hair and blue eyes. Princess Girl ties them both together with brown hair and blue eyes.

I thought people were pathetic when they asked if we had twins when the boys were younger. Now I think they are straight up crazy when they ask if we have triplets. Yes people, they are my 18 pound, 27 pound and 34 pound triplets. Wow, now that I think about it, only 16 pounds seperates my kids. That's like eating a huge Christmas dinner or my kids Halloween candy. Hmmm.......

One thing that all of my kids have in common is they love to sleep in our bed. And really, there is nothing like waking up in the morning to three little faces who absolutely adore you to get the day started off right. I would be four faces, but usually Tex looks kind of beat up from the boys kicking him all night. Poor Tex. The boys start off at night in their bed, but typically migrate to ours, where Princess Girl is already sleeping.

I will close this post with a few words of wisdom from our very own, Squish.

"Trains don't talk, Silly!" He has obviously forgotten the hundreds of hours spend with Thomas the Tank Engine!

By the way, Squish is going to have an MRI on 2/23. If ya'll could be thinking of him that morning and sending "Everything will be normal" vibes his way, we all would appreciate it!
