Chanukah 2008

13 Months

The boys went to the doctor for their one year check up. The doctor said if you had asked him a year ago where he expected them to be at a year old, that they have actually exceeded his expectations! Here are their weights:

Alexander- 21 lbs 4 oz

Benjamin- 20 lbs 2 oz

Cameron- 21 lbs 2 oz

They are all about 30 inches in length.

We can actually say in height for Alex since he stands up now!

Benjamin-Post Surgery

Look who is standing!

This is Alex. He didn't pull up. We put him there because he always tries to stand in our laps. We tried it out and he liked it. He stood there for quite a while and played with the links.

Look who's sitting up!!

Out to dinner.

We took the triplets out to dinner for the first time last night. They got to go to Mexican Inn on Camp Bowie. They behaved themselves...it was their 3 1/2 year old brother that was the trouble maker. But he is still a little kid himself so we don't mind a little trouble from him, especially when we are out with the triplets.

I found some time!

With Ethan back in school I found time to start making my own baby food.
I started with carrots. I got 2 bundles of carrots for $1.34 each and it made 20 jars worth of food. Those cost 46 cents each at Walmart. YOU DO THE MATH!!!
I am set to do peas next! It only took about an hour so it is well worth it.
Ethan used to eat 3 jars at a time.....so with three babies eating three jars each....we would be in the poor house.

Doctor check up update!

We took the triplets to their 9 month check-up today.
They now weigh in at:
Alexander- 19lbs and 28 inches
Benjamin- 17lbs 9oz and 28 inches
Cameron- 18lbs 12oz and 28 1/2 inches
They each got one shot and were super troopers!
He said they are all right where they need to be for this age and development.

The triplets feed themselves

Look Jackie and I can go out to dinner!!!!! The babies can feed themselves. Now we just have to get them working the microwave!

Just one good group picture!

Look at this series....all I ask is for one good group picture!!!! I wonder how old they will be when I finally get the money shot!!!

Update!

For those of you who not up to the minute on the Triplets status!.....They are all on the same formula now, and have been eating solids since the end of May. Just like their big brother Ethan, they never turn down the spoon!!! Green beans, squash and peas have all been welcomed with big open mouths!
They are showing signs of crawling. They push up on their arms and kick their legs.
They are very quick with the smiles, and are pretty much happy all the time. Sometimes I wonder if they are just that content or if they are trying to figure out why there are so many babies that look the same in one room! When we put them on the floor on a big blanket they try to get to each other and they grab hands and faces. It is very sweet to watch. (and photograph..of course)
They don't see the doctor until the end of August so I am not sure how much they weigh. Although I weighed Alex on our scale at home and he is about 15 1/2 pounds.
That is about it for now.

The Triplets now weigh in at: Alex-16lbs 2oz, Benjamin- 13lbs 14oz, Cameron 15lbs 8oz.
They each got 4 shots and a blood test to check their iron levels. (no results yet). The doctor says they are all doing great growing and reaching milestones.
