TWINS!!

No not me.. I'm not the one expecting twins (but wouldn't that be exciting)
no my brother Cade and his wife Tiffany are expecting!! We couldn't be more thrilled about it... they are expecting April 3rd but Tiff has told us that her doctor won't let her go past 38 weeks so sometime in March we'll be welcoming twins to our family! And to add to that excitement my other brother Jake and his wife Sarah Jane are expecting also! They are expecting April 8th! So come April next year my parents grandchildren will be doubling!!! I am so so excited for all of this... right around the time Berklee is one I will have 3 newborns in my life and I will be able to have my newborn fix! :)

The day Cade and Tiff found out they were having twins the boys had planned to go golfing and the girls were getting together to watch a chick flick... well I had talk to Tiff earlier in the day and she had said she was going to lunch with her mom and sister but I could pick her up and go over to Ashleys after.. so the time was getting closer to leaving and Tiff tells me "hey I'm going to go with my mom over to my grandmas so I'll meet ya over there".. okay no big deal! So she gets over to Ashley's and I ask her "how was lunch and your grandmas?" and she says "welllll.... I actually didn't go" my first thought was well geez Tiff you didn't need to lie to me I don't care that you didn't drive over with me :) and then she proceeds to tell us that she was at the doctors and that she is expecting! Me and Ashley both just start screaming and congratulating and then Tiff says AND its twins! Me and Ashley both tear up and were so so excited for her! Tiff was just going to stay for dinner and then she was going to head up to my parents so her and Cade could tell them and right away me and Ashley were like "we're coming!" We hurried and came up with an idea to put on our babies onesies that "I'm getting 3 cousins in April" (for Tiff's twins and Sarah Jane's little one) we kept saying that my parents are going to think me or ash are preg too cuz who would really think that someone was having twins! Anyways... it was such a fun reveal even though we waited around till 10 pm for my mom to get home (which my dad was wondering the whole time what the heck is going on cuz my kids don't stay this late especially me and ash cuz we have our babies and like to put them to bed.. but we kept them up and it was so worth it)
I am so excited for Tiff and Sarah Jane! How fun to have 3 cousins just a few weeks apart! Makes me kinda want to get preg fast so my little one can play with them too! ;) yeah right!

all by her self...


Is it just me or does Berklee do everything a month or so before most babies...
She is already sitting by herself and she's only 5 months old!
I've even just decided to bag the car seat and put her up front with me!! :)
juuuuuust kidding!! well sorta... I hadn't pulled my car all the way into the garage (we have a detached garage) and so I wanted to go move it in before Jesse got home so he could pull in. Now did you really want me to put Berklee into her car seat for a 2 second drive?? and don't worry I had my hand on her the whole drive!! I don't think anyone can really say much about this cuz I remember driving home from church on my dad's lap!!!

She's not standing by herself just yet at least ;) but all she wants you to do all day long is help her stand.
Me and my mom had walked outside by their pool and Berklee was like diving for the pool! So we had to take her pants off and at least dip her feet in. She is such a water baby! :)

Likes and Dislikes...

likes:
drinking out of mom and dads big cups!
(I can't get through a meal without sharing some water with her) :)

dislikes:
applesauce, baby food apples... pretty much just apples!
(looks like she'll be like her aunt Tiff cuz she's not lovin the apples)
before
Berklee loves to be snuggled up tight to go to sleep and we think we get her tight tight tight but we call her our little Houdini cuz she gets out of it by morning which isn't bad cuz she is a happy camper in the morning and I usually get to listen to about 20 min of jibber jabber from her until she is ready for me to come get her! :)
after
There are so many more likes that this girl has but I would take up a whole page to blog about it so I just blogged about the most recent. I can't complain about anything... Berklee eats well, sleeps well and plays great! She is so happy all the time and me and Jesse feel so blessed to have her in our lives!
We love our little KiKi!
(our niece Whitney says KiKi for Berklee so its just stuck for her nickname)
