Happy Birthday, Mom!

Hi! Hope all is well in your world. Things are great here!

The babies went for their last RSV shot on Thursday! Yeah! Their weights were:

Aaron-- 16 lbs. 6 oz
Adam-- 16 lbs. 9 oz
Avery-- 15 lbs. 6 oz.

They all gained over a pound last month, and Adam finally passed his brother! I get the feeling those two are always going to be competing over something.

Wednesday was my birthday. John brought the babies to me in bed and they all sang "Happy Birthday" to me. What a wonderful way to start the day! Then, when I came home from lunch, I found the birthday gift that the babies made for me. Chelsea had each baby finger paint on a piece of posterboard (1/4 size). She wrote each baby's name, the date, a birthday message from them, and then bound the paintings into a book that said "Happy Birthday Mom" on the front. Of course I cried! What was also so cool is that she took pictures of them while they were painting. Each baby felt differently about the paint too.

Aaron liked it. He moved his hands around at first and then just tapped on the paper with his fingertips.












Avery LOVED it! She moved her hands around everywhere, stuck them in her mouth, and then threw up on the edge of the paper! I've never mentioned this, but Avery is our little puker. Any little thing and she gags and throws up everywhere. (In fact, one time Chelsea was teasing Avery about getting chubby. For the next three days Avery would stick her fingers in her throat and throw up. We accused Chelsea of making Avery bulimic.)












Adam HATED it! Chelsea would put paint on his hands and then put his hands on the paper. He would immediately pull his hands back. He finally started hiding his hands from her...his legs and sides were covered with paint from him "hinding" them.












Since Monday was St. Patrick's Day, we took pictures of the babies in their festive bibs.
























My sister and nephews came down last weekend. Here is a picture of Avery sleeping on my sister.













Aaron is sitting up on his own for about 3-5 minutes before falling over.
