The Poe boys

My boys are hilarious! They love each other so much and I love watching them together. Davis adores his big brother and is such a Daddy's boy. Brian loves it that Davis definitely prefers him. It's only fair because Drew is still a pretty big Mommy's boy. Drew is so good with Davis. He never plays too rough and he's always talking to him and checking on him and doing things to make Davis smile. Davis is finally starting to laugh out loud for us, so that's really fun. He can't sit up on his own, but always wants to so his favorite spot is his Bumbo seat. He's skinnier than Drew was so his fat little legs still fit in the seat. Davis actually rolled over yesterday. He doesn't spend much time on his belly since we don't have carpet downstairs, but loves lying under his play gym. So yesterday morning I left him lying on his back when I went to take a shower and when I came back he was on his belly. He's been able to roll halfway and chooses to sleep on his side now, but he finally figured out the shoulder thing. He's getting too big too fast. Especially since he's my last baby!
Drew went for his 3 year check up yesterday (6 months late) and he's doing so great. He weighs 34 lbs (50%) and is 38 inches (50%), so he's living up to his name and proving to be an "average" boy. His picky eating is slowly starting to get better. He actually ate some fried rice last night, so that was a first. For a picky eater, he loves some really random things. He could eat my weight in black olives (gets that from his grandma) and he loves to eat sushi. He only eats the rice and spicy sauce of of it...mostly takes a few bites and gives it back, but he's gotten some seaweed plenty of times and never really minds. He informed us a few weeks ago that he would eat PB&J if we had white bread. Who knew that was keeping him from eating sandwiches at home! He eats wheat bread by itself, but he didn't think it was a sandwich on that bread I guess!

Needless to say, our house is crazy these days, but couldn't be more fun!

Eating cereal

Well we tried Davis on cereal last week. He wasn't a big fan and didn't really know what to do with it, so I'm hoping that he starts liking it more this week. He made funny faces like he didn't know what we were trying to give him! I think he liked the taste fine, but didn't know what to do with it once it was in his mouth. Sweet love...he'll get it one of these days! Drew was the same way...confused at first and then couldn't get enough. Davis just eats so much these days (8 ounces every 2-3 hours) that we've got to get him on solid food so he won't use so much formula!

Cora and Griffin are here!

Erin had her twins last week, and they are so adorable! Such sweet big babies too...6lbs 90z a piece. Cora and Griffin...so sweet! They were welcomed by their big brothers...Connor and Archer. So now Erin and Chris have a fabulously busy household! I can't wait to meet the newest members of the family when we go to visit in May!

Meeting little Hudson...finally!

We've been trying to go see Baby Hudson for almost 4 months now, but haven't been able to because one of our 4 babies will be sick or someone is busy, etc. Finally we got to go play last night with Hudson and Ashton and it was a blast as usual. Davis and Hudson are already best friends. In fact when they were snuggling in the chair in their pjs, Davis started licking Hudson on the head and trying to eat his hair...only a best friend lets you get away with that! Drew and Ashton had a fantastic time as usual...at least until they both started getting cranky from sleepiness. I loved catching up with Jennifer. It was so fun. Too bad we don't live close enough to do this multiple times a week!

Drew and Davis

My boys are getting so big. Davis is such a smiley baby and he's now found his fist and fingers to chew and suck on. They are so fun to snuggle with and laugh and play with. We have so much fun every day!

Travs games are back on!

Well, we finally got to go back to the Traveler's games on Saturday night. We absolutely love going to the baseball games and Drew has been talking about running the bases for weeks now. It was a little chilly, but still very fun. Unfortunately Drew didn't get to run the bases, but he did love having Davis out there too, so I guess that made up for it.

Random pictures

No real reason behind this post other than to put some cute pictures of the boys on here. When Drew was a shooting star, I got to go visit Davis for a minute too and he was so cute and snuggly swinging in his class. I've been trying so hard to catch a smile, but it's not working so far!
