1. Seth is 4 years old!
2. He is 40 inches tall and in the 44th percentile.
3. He's 37 pounds and is in the 67th percentile for weight.
4. The obsession with my hair continues. He still on occasion will grab it and run it across his face, but more often he just "needs to kiss my hair". We'll be driving somewhere and he'll reach for it just saying he needs to kiss it once, or I'll be on the couch and he'll run from his room to go to the bathroom but must stop to give my hair a kiss. :) So funny, but cute.
5. Seth is mostly sleep trained now, and will sleep in his own bed, but on occasion goes through spurts where he'll climb into bed with us to sleep. Not sure if it's bad dreams or he just can't sleep. We're sometimes able to just lie with him for a bit in his bed and he'd fall back to sleep but sometimes he's just quiet and sneaky and just climbs right between us and we won't even wake up or know until we get a head in the back or a foot in the face. :p
6. Seth is super sweet. He's also at an age that he likes to test boundaries. He tries to do things he shouldn't like a normal 3 year old boy but he's also so quick to please others. I can tell he doesn't like making us upset and is always very quick to say sorry.
7. He is a very active boy. He runs around, wrestles with his brothers. Plays with action figures and plays pretend fighting games all the time, by himself or with others. He's getting rough and more destructive with things. He's all boy.
8. Seth has a softer side although it's tricky to see sometimes. He's sensitive and loves cuddling and being close to others. But he likes to wrestle and is a little rough as well so he has a hard time calming down and being gentle with his hugs. He likes to get right into people's faces and I have to remind him to back up and be careful. He's definitely not as shy as his older siblings and will play and wrestle with visitors if they give him the opportunity. He likes to give everyone hugs and will make his way around a room giving hugs when we're saying goodbye. :)
9. He says the funniest things sometimes. He makes us laugh all the time. Many of the things he says are sayings that we have no idea where he picked them up.
10. Favorites... color- red, song- Popcorn Popping, show/movie- Power Rangers/ Spiderman, food- pizza/ fruit, dessert- chocolate chip cookies, activity- play with toys, animal- lion, drink- kool aid (cuz it's red), wants to be a dad and zoo keeper when he grows up.

Everett Facts
1. Everett's 7 years old
2. He is now 48 inches tall and in the 51st percentile.
3. He weighs 47 pounds and is in the 30th percentile.
4. Everett has started 1st grade this year. He likes school and so far his favorite part is the computer lab. Claire and him love to ride their scooters home together by themselves this year.
5. Everett loves to climb. He's always climbing on things, including furniture and on top of all playground equipment. He's made me nervous quite a few times with his dare devil attitude. He's really good at monkey bars and balancing.
6. He still has a love for games. He likes card games, board games, video games, etc. He's gotten a lot better at not being too competitive as well which makes playing games with him pretty fun. He's smart and good at so many things.
7. Everett is already such a good reader. Thanks to Claire's help, he is already reading things on his own without much help.
8. He loves to make lists and calendars and he stays up late writing point systems and ranking games for his action figures. :) He likes to talk gibberish and make up his own silly language on the spot. He still is always trying to make people laugh by being silly. We love his silliness. :)
9. Everett talks and plays with Claire so much but he's also playing more and more with Seth. The two of them have so much fun together playing more boyish games, but they also probably fight the most as well. I think it's true though that you fight more with the ones closest to you so hopefully they'll always be good friends. Everett is a good brother to Caleb as well and always tries to include him when he can. :)

Claire Facts
1. Claire is 9 years old! She is half way to adulthood. Yikes!
2. Claire is 51 inches tall and in the 29th percentile. 3 inches taller than last year!
3. She is 59 pounds and in the 32nd percentile for weight.
4. Claire is starting 4th grade and her favorite subject is still art. She's gotten closer with some old friends. Her friend Kiery moved farther away and to a different school, but she's been getting along with some other girls that have been in her classes.
5. This last summer, she made really good friends with the girl across the street- Maddi. They would capture bugs and ride scooters and bikes. They would make stores and clubs and play dress up with their stuffed bears. It's been good for her to get out of the house and it's been a new experience for us as parents letting her become more and more independent.
6. Speaking of becoming more independent, she is growing up so fast. She likes to do things as much as she can on her own, including walking to activity days and back and showering on her own. Sometimes she wants to do things that mommy and daddy are not quite ready for and it's caused some hard moments as we both try to compromise and work on ways that we're both comfortable.
7. Claire loves art and crafts. She makes all sorts of things out of cardboard and tape. She loves creating gadgets, purses, games, whatever she can think of. She uses up a roll of tape a week and leaves her room covered in pieces of cardboard and tape, but she's creating things. :)
8. She is the sweetest girl. She's learning and growing so much. She's obedient and sensitive. She sees a mess or one of us struggling and is quick to help (sometimes without even being asked). She's emotional and occasionally has shown a little anxiety in situations. She is shy around new people, but once she's opened up she can be so friendly and fun to be around. We love her sweetness.
9. Claire and Everett still continue to be the best of friends still. They talk and play together and Everett likes to join her and Maddi when playing outside. I love that she's always willing to include him even with other friends around. She's helpful with Seth and Caleb still but also loves to play and tickle or wrestle with them. She gives Seth piggy back rides and picks up Caleb and mothers him. She's excited for baby girl to come so she can have a little sister to help and play with. :)
