Cockroaches!!!

So everyone knows when cockroaches come out at night, you are just coming downstairs into the kitchen to get a glass of water, and then turn on the light.... you think you just saw three cockroaches just scurry across the floor into the corners.... but you arent sure because you're still half asleep...

The girls are learning to do the same thing sometimes (scattering in all different directions)!!! Now that all three of them are walking, their new thing is to climb on things. They can now climb onto the couch in our bedroom. Of course, we keep taking them off the couch because it will be inevitable that one of them will fall over the side and tumble off.

Now, the more mobile they become, the larger the enclosed play area has become. First, it was just a small 6ftX6ft area.... then they started crawling and that became too small for them. So then we converted the living room into their playpen. That lasted 2 months and it worked for a while. But they started getting "cabin fever" and always wanted to be outside of the living room (especially if grandma and grandpa were outside the enclosure)... now we moved all of those gate enclosures into the patio area outside since it is getting much nicer weather...

So their current play area is practically twice the size of the living room area and outside. We have already learned that they love the outdoors and maybe it's just the nice sea breeze.

We attempted the little kiddie swimming pool again (take 2). the first time, they did not like so much. But since they have been loving their baths now, we figured that the swimming pool would be cool now. . . . And they just loved it!

Emilie sure liked just sitting there and chilling. Madilyn actually likes to sit on the outside of the pool and splash the water with her hands. And Gabriella didnt like it too much this time, but we think it was because she was felling just a bit under the weather with her stomach not feeling well.

Emilie liked the pool so much she climbed back into it on her own the next day! hahahaha
