Job Interview!

All dressed up for only one reason, job interview!!!! I met with the human resources person who then took me to the unit manager. I will keep my fingers crossed that I get this position. It would be for well-baby, and NICU level II and eventually level III, plus I would get to work in transition and go to births! How cool would that be!!??

Addison giving me a good luck hug! I have her sticker on for good luck too!

I think the interview went well. I was there for two hours, that has to mean something, right!? The unit manager took me around and introduced me to all the nurses who were working on the unit. With my 100 applications out there, hopefully this will be it! I would be very happy to discontinue the job search and just start working! Please, call me and say, "you're hired!"

Bath Time

Every one in this house loves bath time. Landon loves to fill cups with water from the faucet, Landry loves to pour water into cups, and Addison loves to have oatmeal in her bath to mush it between her fingers.

The only part they don't like about bath time, is when it ends! Oh, and, earplugs!

Landon

AKA: Lando

Personality: sweet, sensitive, and happy

Likes: cars, balls, trucks, following Landry, suckers, cheese, making a mess, his blankie, and playing in the bathtub

Dislikes: barking dogs, and getting his paci taken away

Landon loves to cuddle when he first wakes up. He likes for anyone to hold him, he has no preference really. He loves to bounce balls and play with his trucks. He even likes to play with Addison's doll house and push her stroller. He is protective of Landry, but is not afraid to inflict his own harm on her (he likes to pull her hair). This boy loves to eat and pretty much will eat anything. His new favorite food is pistachios. David called him Linus the other day. He drags his blue camouflage blanket around with him. He loves his paci and sucks on it all day long. He and Addie have very similiar personalities and looks and I often say, they should have been the twins. He is Landry's shadow though. He follows her around pretty much all day. We call him the "caveman" from time to time. He grunts a lot to get his needs met and has since he was a baby. He is using more words now though! Such a cute boy he is!

Landry

AKA: Lovey Lou

Personality: Super sweet, happy, and fearless

Loves: her loveys, climbing, watching TV (especially Elmo, granola bars, cookies, and fruit snacks

Dislikes: getting her hair dried, getting her teeth brushed, most fruit

Lovey Lou loves to cuddle. She is a very happy little girl and always has a smile on her face. She loves to say hi to everyone and hasn't met a stranger yet. She can draw you in and captavate you. She is super sweet, but don't let that smile fool you. She is mischievous. Turn your back for a second and she will be on the kitchen table, in the bathtub, on a chair, or even in the dryer. Landry loves to climb. She is light as a feather, but strong. She is a picky eater and it's very hard to go out to eat with her. She has already given up her highchair and can easily maneuver her way out of her stroller straps. She loves to give kisses.

Addison

AKA: Addie

Personality: active, stubborn, determined, caring, thoughtful

Loves: tumbling, her loveys, talking, people, dresses, macaroni and cheese, Disney princesses, and swimming

Dislikes: oatmeal or anything that resembles it, blood and any bodily injury no matter how small, and being alone

Addison Kate is a people person. She prefers to hang out with people than to play with toys. She loves to meet new friends and she loves to talk. She talks all day long. She is very active. Practicing her cartwheels is one of her favorite things to do. With a lot of practice, she taught herself to do a back bend. One day she hopes to be a ballerina, and every time we leave gymnastics, she had to go and watch them! She has been practicing standing on her toes! She loves the twins and is the best big sister. She knows when they have dirty diapers and will always tell. She is very protective of them. For some reason, she loves to carry Landry around all the time, but she never carries Landon around. I guess she thinks Landry is a doll. Her memory is amazing, and she can remember the smallest of things! Addison is delightful and we are so proud of what a great big sis she is!

Valentine's Day

Man, it's been awhile. I almost got swallowed up for a few months there! The kids have grown so much. In the time I have been gone from the blog, the twins learned to walk, and Addison has started going three days a week at a montessori school. We've been busy, but I love it!

Addison loves anything Barbie, Strawberry Shortcake, and Disney Princess these days!

Starting the morning with chocolate! Some days are meant to start with chocolate, Valentine's being one of them!

Oh, so yummy!

Landon did not want his chocolate, instead he opted for a sucker. Must be a boy thing!

First Ice Cream Cone

We went to Chick-Fil-A for lunch and while his sister's were playing in the play area, Landon was discovering how much fun ice cream cones are!!!

Later, Landon discovered sprinkles. He thought these were even better! At least they kept him occupied while we at dinner. The floor was a mess though. Who am I kidding, the floor is ALWAYS a mess anytime we eat somewhere. Sorry people, what can I say? We try to tip well to make up for the disaster!

First Birthday Party!

It's hard to believe that a year has passed! But it's true, babies grow up and turn into toddlers in the blink of an eye. They aren't toddling yet, and I hope they will hold off on that for a little while! Landry and Landon celebrated their first birthday with friends and family surrounding them. They loved all their presents and both loved their first cake!

First Gymboree Class

The babies went to their first Gymboree class today. We just did a trial to see how well it would go. They seemed to enjoy it, so we are going to enroll! I was afraid Landon would cry the whole time. At first he just followed Landry around and then he did his own thing. Addison used to love to go to Gymboree class. She was always a daredevil and made the other moms gasp at her stunts, so hopefully her sister and brother will follow in her footsteps. It never failed, at every class at least one mother would gasp at Addison. It was great! Addison is crazy like that. Anyway, here are pics from their first class!

I think he liked all the colorful mats

New stuff to chew, how fun!

Landon loved the mirror!

Happy as a clam on the parachute!
