Carter got up at 10:30 last night and wouldn't go back to sleep. Erin got up and fed him even though I think we're to the point where they need to just figure out how to get back to sleep on their own. He couldn't have really been hungry since he ate a little after 7:00 and ate his whole bottle.
The babies got up around 3:00 and like usual we fed them and then put them back in bed. They got up again sometime around 7:00. I actually got up before all the kids woke up and took a shower in the morning. I was able to eat breakfast before Calvin and Brayden woke up. The boys had french toast for breakfast and they actually ate it all.
We played with the kids for a little bit after eating breakfast and then headed off to Wal-Mart. There wasn't anything special about today's trip. Calvin and Brayden were wandering around our yard before eventually getting in the minivan. I figured out an easy way to get them to get in the car or go to bed or whatever. I just walk over to the boys and say that I'm going to pick them up. They almost always respond with "no, walk" and then they start walking wherever it is that I want them to go.
Calvin and Brayden wanted us to put set their blankets up on the crib as a "fort". We would drape the blanket across from the front to the back of the crib to create a roof. They really seemed to love it.
Carter didn't nap long after we got home and the kids had lunch. I think he got up after napping for less than an hour and a half. He had pooped which I am sure is why he woke up. I changed his diaper, but he wasn't interested in going back to sleep. The little stinker decided to poop again just a few minutes after changing his diaper. We were able to give him some one on one attention that they don't get very often. It's amazing how well he crawls around now. He is doing the "inch worm" crawl and he's pretty quick.
Carter and Aubrey are doing better at eating Puffs and their cookies. We also gave them Cheerios for the first time today. They actually ate a few. They still prefer the jarred baby food, but they are doing well with eating other foods.
Calvin and Brayden were playing with their Lego Duplo animals today. They got them for their birthday and hadn't played with them too much, but they decided to get them out today.
We took everyone out for a walk tonight. It was such a great Fall day. The kids really love going for walks. I remember we used to take Calvin and Brayden for walks almost everyday when they were babies. We don't go on as many walks now since it's a little harder to get everyone ready to go.
I was playing "catch" with Calvin today using a little football. He can actually throw pretty well and I was able to catch most of his throws. He didn't catch any of mine, but he was trying. Some of them hit his forehead and he said "oh hit forehead".
Calvin and Brayden ate some Sweet Tarts tonight. They kept saying "crunchy" and then they would bite down on one and make a loud cruching sound. They wanted to take some Sweet Tarts to bed with them, but we wouldn't let them since it's a choking hazard. They weren't very happy when I took the Sweet Tarts away from them, but they got over it.
