Foto Friday - Paint With Water
So...back in February, I let the boys try some paint with water pages. They liked dumping the water out of their cups the most...see Cooper in action in the first picture.

All About Carter!
Carter
All about our Carter Louis at age 2 years and 3.5 months old.
What we call him:
Carter. Car-tey. Carter Louis. Car-Car (how his brother's pronounce his name). Josh also calls him, Wreck-It-Ralph and Ralphie.
Carter is our fun loving little man. He's our goofy little guy that's always up for giggling and having a good time. He's pretty easy going overall. As a newborn, he wasn't super attached to me. But, he's now most definitely a Mama's Boy (and I LOVE it). He almost always has a smile on his face. He doesn't talk a lot (yet) but can communicate with words when he wants to.
Carter enjoys TV and his favorite shows are probably Paw Patrol and Micky Mouse and Scooby Doo. He was the first to figure out how to unzip his sleep sack and how to climb out of his crib.
Carter loves coloring and drawing, and it will keep him pretty busy. He likes to try and repeat colors, and when he says, 'purple,' it's SO cute. He is usually the first to pull out his magna-doodle to draw.
Carter loves being outside. His favorite thing outside right now is to do bubbles. He also loves the water table, sliding, collecting sticks, and exploring. When we went fishing, he was OBSESSED with his fishing pole and casting and reeling.
He always makes me feel great about my cooking because he eats up whatever I make and serve them. :) He has a big appetite. He loves eating, and I always know something is off with him if he doesn't clean his plate. One of his most favorite foods are chips and salsa!
Carter with Dad, Sister, and Mom.
We love our Carter-man. He's so playful, fun, full of life and smiles, and yet pretty easy-going, too. We LOVE watching him grow and learn. Carter will always have a special place in our hearts.

Carter is in size 2T clothes and size 6 diapers. He shows no interest in potty training. He seems to be more interested in using his voice more and can say a lot of words. He isn't quite stringing two words together yet (without prompting).
Cater is a little wrestler. He's always up for instigating some rough-housing, and loves going after Cooper and Daddy and taking them down. He seems to have some natural wrestling skills. His giggle is the BEST in the world, and always brings a smile to my face.

All About Tucker!
Tucker
All about our Tucker David at age 2 years and 3.5 months old.
What we call him:
Tucker, Tuckey, Tucker David (He calls himself 'Tuckey.')
Tucker is our chatter box. He talks A LOT. He is like a parrot and tries to repeat anything we ask him. He will repeat the same phrases over and over and over. He regularly strings 2 and 3 words together now. He is our drama king, and is emotional. He is most likely to throw a dramatic fit when he doesn't get his way. He is a Mama's Boy and prefers me the most. His cry is SO loud and annoying. His brothers manage to sleep through it somehow, and they also ignore him when he's having a fit. Josh and I always feel like he's the one that thinks he should be a single baby. We have to remind him when he's having a fit about sharing or having to wait his turn that he's a triplet!
He is our skinny-mini little man. He eats just as much as his brothers, but his frame is so much more slight and delicate. He has the BIGGEST and cutest smile ever...and the LOUDEST cry ever. Josh says he's most like me because he's so emotional and either really happy and fun, or not happy and annoying. Haha. But, even when he's being annoying, all he has to do is get over what he's mad about and flash his big smile and he's back to being the most handsome little guy EVER.
Tucker is in size 6 diapers (and probably ready to potty train...I just haven't really started yet). He is in size 2T clothes. Tucker needs the least amount of sleep and loves to keep his brothers up instead of napping.
He is the most possessive over toys and going "first" or "next" - he will tell you.
He loves repetition and practicing new skills over and over and over. He's very coordinated with throwing and kicking balls. He is least interested in watching shows on the TV, and I think he enjoys when his brother's get caught up watching a show because he has ALL the toys to himself.
He enjoys most foods and is a decent eater at meals. His favorite foods are probably yogurt and fruit. He also loves cheese (which his brother's do not care for).
Tucker with Dad, Sister, and Mom.
We love our Tucker-boy. He's bossy and stubborn and smart and keeps us on our toes every day. We LOVE watching him grow and learn. Tucker will always have a special place in our hearts.

All About Cooper!
Cooper
All about our Cooper Thomas Smyser at age 2 years and 3.5 months old.
What we call him:
Cooper. Coop-ey. Cooper Thomas. Pooper (how his brother's pronounce his name)
Cooper is our quiet little mischievous cutie. He is not very verbal or vocal with us. But, it's like he knows he can just point and smile and we would gladly move mountains if we thought that's what he wanted. Recently he's been trying harder to use his voice when we request it from him, but he's not into a lot of spontaneous speaking (yet). He has clearly repeated some words for us occasionally. But, I feel like it's just his personality though to be a bit more quiet and not overly chatty. However, he's definitely found the word, 'No,' lately, and let's us know when he doesn't agree with us!
He loves being outside. Cooper likes exploring, and trying to hide from me. lol. He enjoys his sister's scooter, the water table, and digging in the dirt.
When he hugs me, he likes to pat my arm/back, and it melts my heart every time. He does is the most before bed when we snuggle. He likes sleeping and typically naps and sleeps well.
Cooper has given up on eating any veggies. He's probably the pickiest overall when it comes to food. One food he gobbles down that his brother's don't care for is speghetti-os!
His favorite thing to do right now is to sneak into the bathroom, and hide behind the open door. If he's feeling particularly ornery with his brothers, he will take a toy from them, and then run and throw it down the stairs or over the gate out of reach of his brother and run away laughing.
Cooper with Dad, Sister, and Mom.
We love our Super-Cooper. He's so mischievous, but has the most angelic face and cutest smile that melts our hearts on a daily basis. We LOVE watching him grow and learn. Cooper will always have a special place in our hearts.

He's strung two words together a couple times, but doesn't regularly spontaneously speak a lot (yet).
Cooper enjoys watching his shows on TV. He likes Scooby Doo, and Mickey Mouse He loves spending time with Madison, and watching her play games on her tablet with her. He likes sitting on my lap and reading books together, and snuggling.

Fishin' and Kayakin' on the Wapsi
We got adventurous and took the kids on their first kayaking trip for 2016 a few weekends ago. This was also the first time the boys got to go fishing with Grandpa and try real fishing poles!
The boys were SO excited to try their new fishing poles from Grandpa.
Madison loved showing the boys the worms.
Grandpa was such a trooper and got all the kids poles ready and baited.
Madison loves fishing.
Tucker.
Carter.

Cooper
Each li'l guy got to go for a kayak ride with Dad.

Carter LOVED fishing. Eventually we took the hook and bait off the poles, and the boys had a blast just casting their bobber out and reeling it back in. Carter did this over and over and over for a really LONG time.
Cooper with Dad out in the kayak.
Madison got brave and climbed this tree.
Finally, Grandpa got a little bluegill so the kids could see the boys could see their first caught fish!!!

Madison enjoyed her ride with Dad, too!
It was a fun day for all!
Madison stole my sunglasses and thought it was funny.
Josh had basically drag me out to enjoy the outdoors, but luckily for my kids, I love them so much that I was willing to do it. And, of course their smiles and reactions to everything made all the work we had to do worth it. The kids really enjoyed the fishing and kayaking and being outside all afternoon! Thanks to Grandpa and Grandma for coming along, too!
I am sure this is was the first of many kayaking/fishing trips for the Smysers!
