Welcome to our life with three girls who are 3 and under. There are a LOT of hugs and kisses given in our home. There's a LOT of dancing going on. And there's a LOT of fighting over who gets to hold sweet little Kya! I can't say I blame them because Kya is so fun to snuggle. There's also a lot of crying, but let's just concentrate on the other things for now (:
These girls are seriously on cloud 9 every time they get to hold "Baby Kya".
Although with the stink eye Kya is giving, I'm not sure she feels the same way!
Taylee simply can't help but constantly squeeze Kya's cheeks and give her kisses. She always wants to touch the baby. She says over and over, "He loves me so much, huh mom? Kya loves me so much." We're still working on our "He's" and "She's" with her!
I know this picture is blurry but it was just too funny because Brielle and Taylee were trying to move the blanket a little bit to look at Kya's tiny little toes. Taylee ended up accidentally grabbing her own toes and it took her a minute to figure out that she was actually tickling her own toes and not her little sister's!
There we go, problem solved!
This is a common sight in our house. Brielle holding the baby, while Taylee is doing something to drive Brielle nuts. Yep. It never ends.
So cute:

Inevitably, Taylee soon gets bored and wants to go play with toys. She tells Brielle to come with her, but Brielle just wants to keep holding the baby. If Taylee doesn't throw a fit at this point, then she will usually say something like, "Brielle, you're being annoying". She's been saying that a lot lately!
Brielle thinks that Kya is the greatest. She is such a great older sister!
You can just tell by the way she's looking at her that Miss Breezy is in love with her little sis! So sweet:
When it's time for Kya's nap every morning, the girls always want to dance and do tricks:
It always turns into something silly and they laugh and laugh. So do I.
When staying inside becomes too much, we head out when possible. This particular morning it had been snowing for a couple hours, and the girls really wanted to build a snowman.
Unfortunately, the grass really didn't hold the snow very well and venturing to the back yard proved to be too muddy.
The girls were bummed:
Majorly bummed:
So we went inside and played games. They love to pretend we're all different animals and then we have to guess which animal the others are. Brielle's favorite game though is "Describe" where you have to think of an object, give hints and then everyone else has to guess what that object is. As you can see, our day to day is not exactly exciting, but I love these girls so much!
Even if they do want me to take the same pictures of them doing "tricks" over and over and over!
This is Taylee's lazy version of the "bridge":
Dancing. I can't tell you how many times a day I video tape them dancing just so they can watch themselves on the camera. It's their favorite.
Here are a few pictures of our newest sweetheart. I've always loved black and white pictures so you might have to forgive me but here they are.
At her 2 week appointment she weighed 8lbs 13oz and 22 inches, which means she really did grow three inches in 2 weeks or they made a mistake measuring her when she was born. We believe the latter is more accurate. She's doing well!
Anyway, there you have it! We obviously don't get out a ton, and there's really not a whole lot accomplished most days, but I keep trying to remind myself that I WILL get my life back at some point! For now I'm just taking it one day at a time and giving out lots of hugs and kisses (and changing a TON of diapers)! It's amazing how much I love my not so little family!
