7 months!! Hooray!!

On March 1st the babies turned 7 months old. Michael and Anthony are getting ready to crawl and sit. Jaileigh can do the rolling and sitting up but prefers not to. She thinks it might mess her hair or her nails up. Jakob does not like rolling and complains when we make him roll and do tummy time. He does like to sit up though. I stopped giving them "food" for awhile because they were getting really bad belly aches and I have restarted and they seem to be doing better. This weeks food is Butternut Squash.

We are still here in St. George and probably will be for a few more weeks. Mike is currently job searching in California and we are giving him some time without distraction. His company did away with the division that he worked for so he was laid off. Please keep us in your prayers!

Anthony and Michael

I thought I would throw this one in for all the relatives. This is Rori in her Preference Dance dress. Rori has been such a livesaver to me. She is constantly making sure that I am fed and watered. When I need help in the middle of the night or early in the morning she is always willing to grab a baby. She does all this and is trying to finish up her senior year of high school. She is such a sweetheart. I love you little sis!

Baby #1 is . . .Jakob Thomas

Jakob Thomas is the baby of the bunch. He is Mr. Personality and knows how to get what he wants out of his Grandma. He is such a happy baby. He is always smiling and laughing.

Trying to suck on his arm.

aaaahhh this finger is very tasty

Holding his bottle. . . a new trick that he just learned

My new friend LaDawn . . . . she stayed with me so long that she molded to Grandpa's pink rocking chair.

Baby #2 is Jaileigh Addison

Jaileigh Addison is our baby girl. She is the 3rd baby born (Baby C). She is the little Princess and she knows it.



She almost has enough hair to wear big girl bows. This is her famous wide mouth fish grin.

Great-Grandma Kolleen came to St. George to visit us. We love her so much!

Name That Baby #3 is . . . . . . Anthony Joseph

Baby #3 is Anthony Joseph. He is actually the oldest of the DeMaria children. He loves his Grandpa, his daddy, and his glow worm. He has the most beautiful brown eyes with looooong curly eyelashes.

Baby #4 is Michael Huston

For the Name That Baby Game, Baby #4 was Michael Huston. He is our squishy lovable baby boy. He was the second born. I don't have good recent pictures of him smiling but he really does smile a lot. His eyes light up and his whole body smiles when he is happy.

Jaileigh and Michael napping together. Big foot and little foot, so cute!

We Are Still Here

For all of you loyal followers we are still here. The babies and I are on vacation in Sunny (not too sunny this time of year) St. George, UT visiting my parents. My computer went on the fritz and I have been too busy with the babies to figure it out. Dell Computer did send someone out and they replaced everything but the harddrive. They think it is a software problem so we have it in the shop today.

SOOOOOO we have not abandoned you and we are not mad at you . . . . . Hopefully by Monday I will have a working computer.

My mommy says that I have beautiful thighs.
All of the ladies love me. My brothers try to steal my girlfriends. (My best girl is Wendy and she said she won’t let the others steal her away)

My favorite games are “count my bum dimples” and “count my rolls”.

I talk in softer tones than my big brother. I coo and hum when I eat.
Everyone used to call me the Mellow Baby, but not where food is concerned. I don’t mess around when its feeding time. Sometimes I eat too much and get bad belly aches.

Baby #3

Baby #3

When I cry, everybody cries.
I am very tenderhearted, I like being cuddled, whispered to, and sweet nothings whispered in my ears
I am a sensitive soul
I don’t like loud noises or sudden noises, they scare me and sometimes I cry
I love to kick and stretch out on the ground. I can kick up a storm and can out-do Jane Fonda any day

I stick my little bottom in the air when I sleep on my tummy
When I am mad you definitely know, I am not shy to show it.
I get regular manicures and panicures, my daddy says I am pampered
I learned this new thing, I chew on my mouth, I look like an old person without their dentures in
I am the best projectiler- I have some distance
My mouth is very kissable
I now laugh with my mouth wide open so I look like a little bird (like my brother)

My favorite playmate is my sister
I love to make bubbles with my slobber
When my brothers and sister are having melt downs I can be found laying somewhere content as can be
Did I mention that I LOVE to laugh?!
When I smile I open my mouth really really wide and show everyone my gums- that is why Grandma calls me Gummy Bear
I play with my toys really well. In the jungle gym I can reach up with both hands and grab the toy that I want

Sweet Jakey and those baby blues

Anthony and Jaileigh holding hands. Jaileigh decided she was hungry and tried to eat Anthony.

I was holding and playing with Michael and Jaileigh on my laP and Michael fell asleep. It was too cute.

My cousin Sunny and her mom, my Aunt Brenda, came to stay with us for a few days. Sunny is friends with one of our Quad Squad Helpers, Julie. They grew up together. Sunny is on the left and Julie is on the right. The baby order is Jaileigh, Anthony, Jakob, and Michael.

Sunny and Michael. She conquered the terror. He got his Synagis shot on Friday and was in a BAD mood for a couple of days.

Aunty Brenda and Jakey

We are SOOOO grateful for all of our help! We would be crazy and insane without you. Thank you!
