Happy Babies

I am commonly told, “You have such happy babies” — a refrain that’s music to a mother’s ears. Sure, they all have their moments of whining, crying and complaining, but Houston, Gabriel and Zeke truly are three joyful little dudes! (Click the photo below to see all the cute pics from late April.)

Dixie & Houston are a match made in heaven! 

Houston — who weighed a whopping 37 1/2 pounds at the doc on May 5 — is certainly much happier now that he is on seasonal allergy medication. Before we started the meds, he was looking pretty pathetic. His face was all splotchy and it looked as if someone had drawn stripes under his eyes with red lipstick (you can kind of see the beginnings of this in the above picture).

When Daddy has the stroller, Mommy has to improvise.

The twins are constant entertainment, “talking” (i.e., yelling and screeching) up a storm, grinning from ear to ear with their mouths wide open, going mobile by belly waddling on their mat, attempting to eat puffs, doing plenty of twin vs. twin wrestling and being awestruck by pretty much every big brother does — minus kneeling on them or poking them in the eyeball.

Baby fights are one of our favorite pastimes around Clan Dillingham.

After traveling to the mountains for Easter, the entire fam headed up to Virginia the very next weekend to attend Auntie Lisa’s party. A lot of family and friends got to meet Gabriel and Zeke for the first time. And although it was great to have so many extra hands helping out with the kids, we’re probably not going to road trip again till the boys are about … oh, I don’t know … say about 7 or 8!

One thought on “Happy Babies

  1. What wonderful pictures! It is amazing how quickly children grow and this is a wonderful way to chronicle their lives. With so much extra time on your hands (ha) you are doing a great job, as a photographer/journalist and a MOM. Really don’t know how you do it. We love the results!
