Philip is talking more all the time. He still loves ducks and frogs, but seems to be enjoying horses lately too. He's great at working puzzles and I have the feeling he'll be athletic. He loves music - all of it! His favorite color is green, and he likes pizza and cookies a lot! He doesn't watch much TV, but when he does, he likes Barney.
William is learning to read and write his name. He's doing very well with both. Yesterday, I heard him at the table saying, "5 plus 5 equals 10, and 4 plus 1 equals 5." I don't know if he understands what he's saying, but he elaborated that "if you have 1 monkey, and you add another monkey, you have 2 monkeys." Daddy would have been SO proud. William's favorite color is still yellow. He loves monkeys and gorillas and he'll tell you ALL about them. He says his favorite food is pizza, but I think it's Cheetos! His favorite TV show is Animal Atlas and William really loves books on just about any subject.
Elizabeth is a healthy, happy baby. She is super sweet, with lots of smiles, squeals and giggles. She is a great eater. She tries everything, and doesn't reject much. She isn't interested in being fed with a spoon anymore, unless it's a delicious dessert - then she'll make an exception. She loves her stuffed animals, and shrieks with delight when she sees them. Then she happily rubs her face all over them. Elizabeth crawls really well and likes standing, but gets really irritated that she can't climb. She'll try to throw her leg up and over, say to get in the bathtub with the boys, and shows her displeasure at her inability to climb. I'm thinking it won't be long before she's into everything!
Best of all, the three children really enjoy each other's company. William is often heard saying, "baaaabbby, I wuv you baby!" That little girl gets lots of William kisses. Philip isn't all over her the way William is, but he laughs and smiles at her. He also doesn't get upset when she tries to snatch his toys. I'm not saying that he always hands the toy over, but he moves away quietly with his toy. She follows. He smiles at her, and moves away again. The boys play together really well. Sometimes they get a little rough, as I'm told that little boys do, but they thoroughly enjoy each other, and I'm thrilled about that. I wanted them to have a close relationship, especially since they're twins.
So, there's a brief update. Now for a few current pictures -
Philip, Elizabeth and William. We took this picture for our mothers to have on Mother's Day. May 2010.

I love those sweet stories about those sweet darlings. I am jealous! I adore mine, but I could use 2 or 3 more!!!! Elizabeth's dress is beautiful, and I cannot believe how intensely blue those eyes are! I'm glad Philip is so peaceful! I didn't know he liked frogs!! That's good information. William is a love. I keep forgetting to tell my family that he is reading already!
That is so sweet how the kids all get along so well. The sound of kids playing happily may be my most favorite one in the world :). And your yard looks great!
