I know, I have been posting lots of Lucy. I guess she's the one who seems to change the most day-to-day and maybe it's also because I actually have "free hands" to grab my camera and take pictures when at least one of the "big kids" are taking a nap during the day. So far, Kate still takes one nap in the morning and one in the afternoon... simultaneously with Jackson [1] nap... sad that I'm not sure how much longer he will take this nap. I sure am productive during that afternoon time!
Jackson is such a fun big brother. Lucy & Jackson have the most in common, as far as looks are concerned, but definitely still have their own "look". Go back & look at pictures of Jackson at this age and see what you think. The biggest difference we can see is their lips and Lucy is smaller overall.
Lucy's looks...
This is a size 1 diaper... still looks big... yeah, she's small!
Jackson
Jumping, jumping, jumping... Jackson & Kate (this is a fun activity when Lucy is sleeping and Mom comes on the trampoline too!)
Kate doesn't know how to actually jump yet. As in she doesn't understand how to leap in general, not just on the trampoline. It's kind of funny how confused she becomes when we coax her into jumping. But she does love being on the trampoline and running around and being bounced by the rest of us.

Lucy's little smile
so bald! but so smiley!!
Little Lucy
Jackson & Kate LOVE to color
Jackson loves to take pictures too with his very own digital camera (thanks to Grandma Breshears @ Christmas)
Pretty sure she was putting bits of crayon in her mouth. gross! I can't keep this girl from eating things that just aren't meant to be digested (latest favorites are sand and crayons; yuck!)
Cute cheesy smile
As far as looks go, Kate has changed so much since infancy, but those cheeks and her HUGE feet and hands remain the same!!
We just LOVE this little girl
Everything is SO exciting with these kids! And our little Kate is definitely passionate about life!
Such a sad picture, but here's the reality sometimes, right? I have noticed that so many people like to sugar-coat their blogs... making it appear to the outside world that everything runs smoothly all the time and their kids are perfectly well behaved every minute of the day and they paint a picture of a perfectly-scripted, perfectly-rehearsed, perfectly-executed life. Well, mine isn't quite that way, thought many days feel perfect in a lot of ways and I am always grateful for what we have together. Here's a picture of Kate completely unhappy. I don't even remember what about. Sad, huh? You may not have moments like this at your house, but we do at ours and I have to say, I'm glad to have this documented to show her someday. I'm sure she'll get a good laugh out of it!
Jackson & Kate love anyone who will just spend time with them and let them know they are important. Grandma is great for reading books, which they just adore! Kate has a shorter attention span, but Jackson will sit and listen about as long as you'll read to him.
