Some New "Firsts"

We took the kids on their very first vacation to Yellowstone. Daisy & Edison slept while we packed up the car, but Ginger was all dressed up and ready to go.



We spent one day on a 5 mile hike to Lonestar Geyser. Here is the stroller all loaded up. Notice the camp chairs hanging off the sides. It reminded us of a homeless person's shopping cart all loaded up with our gear.

We were rewarded with 3 spectacular eruptions at our destination. It was well worth the hike & I'd recommend it to anyone visiting Yellowstone.

We did baths in the sink at the cabin, but the babies are really getting too big for that.

Here are Edison & Daisy just waking up the morning. They are all always so happy first thing in the morning.
Here are some fun pictures of the first time they tried real food. We thought we would use their highchairs, but they are still just too little, so the Bumbos won.
The kids are all getting so strong. They can all roll over either way now. Edison is getting so good at sitting and should be doing in on his own any day now. The Occupational Therapist has cut him back to one visit every 2 weeks since he is doing so well. Daisy is our best walker and wants be on the move anytime she gets held. Ginger is the best at scooting and may start crawling soon. Brian has been encouraging this behavior, but I don't approve. I'm not ready for mobile babies yet, after all they are only suppose to be 5 months old!
We just received their evaluations from the state for the Infant/Toddler program. They all tested at or above their age for social and physical development. The good news is that they are all doing so well, the bad news is that they are doing too well to qualify for services.
Here are a few more random pictures.

4 Months Old

We realized the other day that since the babies are 4 months old we have now changed as many diapers and done as many feedings as someone with a single baby would in the first year of life. I've decided that all those people who complain about how much work one baby is- are big fat whiners!


Here is Edison & Blinkie. I LOVE this baby!!!


This is Edison & Ginger snuggling together. These are the special moments that we would miss out on if we only had one baby.

When you have hungry triplets - sometimes they have to feed themselves. This is Ginger's first try.

Edison is the best with his straw bottle.

Here is our happy Daisy baby!

This is the entire family napping- except Megan- there was no room left in the bed!

Here are the girls in their new Bumbos. They are not quite sure what to think of them.
(Ginger is pink & Daisy is purple)



Here they are enjoying a nice afternoon nap in the back yard.


This was the first time we took them to the farmer's market. It was a little chilly out so they got to wear their snow suits.
Thanks to everyone who attended our baby party- It was a blast!
