It’s been a while since I’ve been on here. My boys remain fascinated with each other, though still kept from any physical contact. They do enjoy staring at each other with intense interest. It seems I spend most of my days now with both of them attached to my physical body and god forbid I set one or the other down. I think they’re conspiring to make it extra difficult to get anything done. At least one of them sleeps for 12 hours a day and puts himself to bed without a struggle. Not naming names, but the other could use some drastic improvements in the sleep department;) Both are ravenous pigs and meal time for me is a nightmare. Both yell at me when I try to eat, for very different reasons though...

Now here is where the *real* trouble starts- when there are all 3 boys in one room:eek:

And just for fun:

Kiwi photo bombing:

Some pretty feathers I found the other morning:

Look at how chunky he’s getting (this photo was over a week ago)! Already over 14lbs! Big smiles for a big boy!

Your clearly outnumbered, but I'm guessing they are all Mom's boys!

Your kids are looking healthy and happy, well at least when they are getting their 110% of required attention. :D

Been wondering what been happening at your place, thanks for the update.

Cheers my good friend, be well!

FYI: Julio was really happy to see his friend!

What a good lookin' bunch o' men! Cheer up, Cas will be sleeping more, soon. Then all ya gotta do is put some knock out drops in the old guy's beer and you can relax! Mom's have it tough for sure.

What handsome boys you have, April! Thank you for showing them off. You're looking wonderful as well. Don't worry, sleep will come my friend... someday. Anyway, we love the updates :)

Outnumbered indeed! 5 males to 1 female in our home:eek: Joe, Cas, Kiwi, Mr. Newt and Bamboo:34: It’s ok though, I’ve always gotten along better with boys anyways:p

Kiwi says “hi” to Julio.

Thank you and yes, I’m hoping for improved sleep too. Have had a few good nights recently, so hoping it gets better from here. I had the worst insomnia during my last month of pregnancy so it’s been a loooonnngggg time since I got any kind of decent sleep.

RIP Gandalf and Big Bird, you are missed.
Lovely pics, April. Especially love the natural montage with image #2.

So what are the odds your fish are all male?? :D

Bamboo is 100% male. Male and female bettas look totally different. Mr. Newt I believe to be a male by the appearance of his vent area but I’m not 100% sure since I’m not really an expert on sexing reptiles or amphibians. Maybe he’s a Ms. Newt:eek:

So here they are again. We do cloth diapers so I have to spray them off into the toilet and it is always a "group activity" that takes 10x longer than it should. If one or the other is left out, excessive noise is sure to follow:rolleyes: Seriously, these days I can't be out of either of their sight or they both start screeching:15:

Golly that boy is growin' fast! My ex F.I.L. would always say James was growin' like "a bad weed" ( never knew there were good ones!)
Looks like Sir K loves to hang with his new BFF ;)

Growing like a bad weed indeed! He's almost 17lbs and fits into 6-9mo clothes. He's rolling over already and trying his hardest to do like an army crawl when he's on his belly. And he's putting anything he can get his slobbery little hands on straight into his mouth:34: He's only 3 1/2 months old. He's going to be about 6'7" tall, running marathons and doing advanced calculus by the end of summer at this rate:03:

Moments race by into months!
Enjoy them all, as memories will blur, but photos will lock in those moments.

Can't say it often enough! Thanks for the updates!

Just a quick update- we are still all here! Cas and Kiwi remain curious about one another. Here they are hanging out again in/on Cas’ new play area in the living room:
