Family Activities

Our little family has been inside for quite awhile. I didn't want to risk Katelyn getting RSV, so we have stayed home for several weeks. Some before she came, and now 3 weeks since she was born. We are getting creative with our activities. When I run out of activities, the boys start to destroy the house. I'm very ready for Spring :) But we are so happy to have each other to play with!

Fireman coats from Grandma for Christmas. Hat from Aunt Brittany and Uncle Alit. I guess boys enjoy dress up too!

A rotisserie chicken was one of the meals that was brought to us. Liam didn't want to wait for his bowl that Ben was preparing, so he started to eat it like daddy was!

He ate that entire piece in one bite. Very Liam. 

We have been making several fruit loop necklaces. Troy makes the necklace while Liam eats all of his cereal  without noticing that there is a ribbon in front of him. Troy is such a big helper to me. I love that he is old enough to tell me where Liam is or what is happening in the other room when I'm feeding Katelyn. He grabs stuff for me or throws diapers away. He helps keep Liam and Katelyn safe. Both of the boys get very concerned when Katelyn is crying and says, "Help baby sister mom!"

Troy loves to play abcmouse.com. Troy is obsessed with electronics and is very skilled at them. Liam entertains himself with baskets, in between getting out everything in the pantry, fridge, and freezer. Katelyn hangs out in her swing or with mommy most of the time. There are not many safe places to put her that Liam won't run over. I could tell that Liam was antsy to run around, so we went to the church on Friday night and let them run around for about an hour and a half after we got some krispy kreme donuts. Troy is focused on learning what Ben is doing, like dribbling or shooting the soccer ball. Liam is more concerned about exerting as much energy as he can in each move he makes. I'm excited to be more active with my boys again.

Liam is definitely busy, but he is THE happiest little boy. He loves his sister and begged to hold her.

He thought she was SO funny.

Liam's famous,  "HELLO!!" (He looks SO big in this picture to me!)

Miss Katelyn had a few rough nights, but last night was better. I love just staring at her when I feed her. It's hard to not be able to help the boys when I'm breastfeeding, but it's nice to just spend time with Katelyn. 

Troy went to church with daddy on Sunday and we discovered that Troy is actually really good when Liam is not there. Toddlers in church are just hard. And Liam is an extra busy toddler. I'm kind of glad for the break of sitting through Sacrament meeting with him. But I also really miss church. It will be interesting to see how it goes with 3 kids!
