Lane as he grows

It's been a week since I posted, but I don't have alot of new news! Still changing 3 bums worth of diapers a day. The twins use the toilet occasionally, but not as much as I would like. I guess now that they are two I should get a little more serious about it. It would be nice to get them out of diapers.

Lane has started sleeping for 4 hours at night before waking up. He is such a dream--especially after the twins. He is still very happy but has a few tantrums when he gets his mind set to something. Notice that left hook he's working on? I am guessing he is a Sanguine (Yellow) and Choleric (Red) personality type. That's like a combination of Travis and Jayley. Happy, jokster, center of attention, but large and in charge. For instance, sometimes he doesn't want to feed off of my right breast and will yell until I put him on the left. He loves having his diaper off. He can be in the biggest fit and I take his diaper off and he is all smiles. Lane is so sweet. He will coo and talk to you for several minutes before he goes back to sleep. He's very sweet. He is a perfect blend of Porter and Madison at his age. I look at their pictures and see so much of both of them. He has Madison dark hair and blue eyes, but Porter mouth, nose, and chin. He would have been a better match as a twin to either one of them, but I guess this way he will bring them all together.

Madison loves to shadow me all day. Porter will play with Aundra and Jantzen, while she follows me around. She is starting to get a little bossy and gets mad when I tell her know. Sometimes she kicks at me from a distance with a very mean look on her face. I put her in time out and tell her to calm down. She is definitely going to have a temper. She fell in love with Jake (Lane) when him and Amber were here last week. For two days after he was gone she kept asking me, "Mom! Where's Jake?" She stills like to do sign and now does it to show off. She is also learning her colors. It's hit and miss. Although she is getting better at them. She is great with Lane. She still gets diapers and handi-wipes for me. She gets too close to his face. Lane lights up when he hears her voice.

Porter is all boy. He loves to rough and tumble. He knows he's only supposed to rough-house with Dad, but sometimes gets carried away with me. He head-butted me in the nose the other day. It hurt so bad. I had to explain to him not to do that! When Jake was here, he would toss them on the bed one at a time. Jake kept going higher and higher with Porter because Porter seemed to like it. At one point, it was too much for him and when he got off the bed he commanded Jake, (with his hand held like a "stop" sign) "Jake, no hard! Jake no hard!" It was so funny. Porter never wants to go to bed at night. He's so busy having so much fun. But, he also doesn't like to get up in the morning. He lays in bed for awhile and will sometimes fall back to sleep. He also takes a much longer nap than Madison.
