An All-Encompassing Update

Here is a huge update. Little Man and Squeaky are successfully climbing on everything. Blondie is doing her best. She's just too short to get up on anything.

We've been trying to get rid of pacifiers. We started last Friday night. We're trimming just over 1mm off every other night. Those are bath nights. They seem to sleep better then so they don't seem to notice the trimming as much.

Everyone loves getting outside and playing. We have a Little Tikes playset and they just crawl all over it.

Should We Stop Or Continue?

It's been so long since we added anything to the blog. Every day we forget to add anything new. Lots of days we're just too tired to bother with adding anything. We're at the point now we're wondering if we should continue the blog or just stop adding anything. Any thought?

Scaling New Heights

It didn't take long. Now Squeaky is able to pull herself onto the couch and chairs in the living room.

More Challenges (For Us)

It seems like it's almost happened overnight. Squeaky is now able to pull herself up into the kitchen chairs. She's almost able to get on the couch without any help also. It won't be long before the other 2 are doing the same.

Pacifiers

It's time to get rid of them. We've let the kids have them long enough and we're working on a plan to get rid of them. For a long time, they've only had them at nap time and bed time. It's time for them to go away. Maybe it will be easy. Maybe not. Any suggestions?

More To Do In Less Time

Lately it seems like we have more to do and less time in which to do it. We're usually running all the time. It keeps getting harder and harder to find time to keep this site updated. We'll do our best, but I doubt we'll have something added every day.

Same Toys, Different Age

We have 2 different lots of toys that we rotate for the kids. We'll let them play with one lot while we clean the other lot. Some of the toys they're playing with now are ones they played with at an earlier age. It's interesting to see how they have developed mentally and how they play with the toys now versus at an earlier age.

The Kissing Bandit

Little Man has learned how to pucker his lips and kiss. He runs around and kisses everything now. Me, Daddy, his sisters, toys...

Catching Up

It's been a really long time since we added anything new. We've gone through a couple weeks of all 3 having ear infections and it just hasn't been fun. We head back to the doctor tomrrow to get their ears checked again to see if they are clear.

Thanks For Telling Us

This past Sunday we received a huge compliment about the kids. The Sunday School teachers told us that all 3 were so well behaved, listened to the lesson and were really good about sharing. I'm sure the sharing comes from being a multiple. They don't have a choice.

Little Helpers

What a great bunch of helpers the kids are becoming. We've been letting them help with small tasks they can handle. Things like picking up their toys, putting small clothes items in the dryer, helping carry dirty dishes and silverware from one parent to another after a meal as we load the dishwasher, etc. They seem to really enjoy it and we don't mind the extra help.

4D Images Of Multiples In The Womb

Here's an interesting article on how 4D ultrasound is revealing more about multiples in the womb.

A Long Time Of Illness

It seems like it's been a while since we've all been this sick. Little Man started off, followed by Blondie, me and then Squeaky and the father. Squeaky and the father are just about over their colds now. It's rough when everyone gets sick and you're trying to look after each other.

A Few Days Off

We're taking a few days off as we all recover from colds.

18 Month Appointment

Today is the 18 month appointment with the pediatrician. It's probably going to be a wild time. They're supposed to get more immunizations. What will make the visit more difficult is the fact that all are sick and haven't had much sleep for the past week.

I Can't Wait To See This

The National Geographic channel is doing on show on multiples in the womb.

Here's a short description of the show - "On January 14 at 8pm, National Geographic will return to the womb with In the Womb: Multiples. The special will use 4d imagery to and CGI effects to show how twins and other multiple birth siblings develop bonds while in utero, and how those bonds continue after they're born."

I can't wait to see this when it comes on.

Triplets? That's Nothing.

How about twins, triplets and a singleton?

We Needed Some Of These

I ran across these and it's just too funny to not post. We needed some with Little Man. The Peepee Teepee .
