Steeler's Jerseys and More!

Of course all three babies have their own Steeler's jersey. I didn't get a picture of all 3 with Dad on Sunday, but I did get some cute pictures of the kids! (Adam has the red t-shirt underneath).

Sunday night they started feeling bad with allergies and yucky noses. All three crawled up into my lap! I haven't held them all at once in so long!!

Here are two new videos of the boys walking! Adam is in the Steeler's jersey. All 3 are really prefering walking over crawling. They are growing so fast!!

New Pictures!!

Hi! So sorry for the long delay between posts. Do you believe that we've been busy? The kids are doing great! All are walking more and more, and eating like there is no tomorrow. It still takes us by surprise when we see one of them just take off across the living room floor. We look at each other and say, "Did you see that?"

Taylor has been with us for 2 months now! She is doing a great job. I told her that many people want to see a picture of her with the babies, so we will get that posted this week. She stays with us during the week and then goes home (or to see friends) on the weekends. She is great with the babies!

Things are changing, changing, changing around here. When I was pregnant I would tell people that my favorite thing about having triplets was to see how they would interact with each other. Well...it is interesting! The boys are pretty much always together. Where one is playing, the other is close by. Adam will sit in the floor and "Read" books with Aaron right by his side. It is so cute! But, they do wrestle like crazy. Here are a few pictures of their last match. Aaron usually starts out on top...they laugh and play...then Adam gets tough and Aaron starts to cry! It's really hilarious.

Avery loves her brothers and will offer them pacifiers, kisses, rides in her dumptruck, or snacks. But, they infuriate her as well! She is VERY independent (I don't know where she gets it), and she gets so mad if they get in her way if she is playing with a toy, or if they happen to be in the floor as she is pushing the dumptruck around. Here are some new pictures of her. She fell asleep one night at dinner in her high chair!

Taylor put all the kids in one bed to take some pictures. We think they are so cute!

Finally, here is a picture of Adam that he will hate me for later. I was playing with him and I put a diaper on his head. It looks like an old-fashioned football helmet!

Another new video

We all know how much Avery loves her dumptruck. Yesterday we put Aaron in the bed of it and Avery pushed him all over the living room! She pushed Adam around later, which was so funny too! Here is the video of her pushing Aaron.

Avery Walking: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shkGTpq7rmQ

My nephew Tyler bought the kids a dump truck for their birthday. Avery LOVES it! She climbs up in it and just sits there! Occasionally her brothers will actually push her around---or we will, of course! Then, she gets mad when she can't get out. So, she either falls out or cries until we get her.

The babies are eating with us at the dining room table now. Here is a picture of them in their highchairs at the table. Also, a picture of them having afternoon snack.

Avery Walking Video

I posted this on YouTube. Silly me--I recorded it with the camera sideways! I will do a new video tonight, but I know many of you are wanting to see her in action. Sorry you have to tilt your head!

The boys are taking a few steps too. I will try to get video of all of them!

Riding the Truck, New Shoes, and Corn on the Cob

Every day is a new adventure in our house! The babies are having so much fun, and so are we! We are constantly amazed at how much they are learning and how much they know already.



One of their birthday gifts from my best friend Denise was a "flute." It actually looks like the round instrument that you blow into to find the right pitch for singing. Adam can actually blow into it and make noise! He is so proud! (Denise also got them a drum and tamborine. We have our own little band! Each baby loves playing the instruments).



Avery is a natural at climbing on things. Taylor (our new nanny) got them a rocking horse for their birthday. Avery will actually hold on to the handle and throw her leg over to get on his back. Just like you would riding a real horse! She also does the same thing with a Tonka truck. Here is a picture of she and Aaron riding together.

Aaron is a FLIRT!! We went to a restaurant on Sunday, and every time this cute waitress walked by, he would smile and follow her with his head. So much so that he actually turned himself around in the high chair! Today at WalMart he also smiled really big at every girl that said "Hi" to him. He is such a character!

Here is a picture of the babies with their first walking shoes. The babies can walk around furniture and when holding on to fingers, but they each have only taken a few steps independently. I know it won't be long....Wow!















And finally, tonight at dinner I was eating corn on the cob. Avery and Aaron could do it too! They actually bit into the ear and pulled off corn kernels. It was so funny! Adam just looked at me like I was nuts for putting that thing up to his mouth!

Birthday Party Pictures

We've been so busy! It was a whirlwind getting ready for the birthday party, and then a week-long clean up session afterwards! The kids enjoyed their party so much! They got lots of clothes, which they needed since they are growing so fast, and a few toys that they just love.

Each baby had their own b-day cake. Of course Avery destroyed hers, but the boys were a little more timid.

We went last week for their one-year checkup. The boys both weighed right at 20 lbs and were 30 in long. Avery weighed 18.3 and was 28 inches long. She is really small compared to them.

Also, last week Shelley B. came from Commanche with her triplets and 4 year-old daughter. Here is a picture of the 7 of us!
