8 Months Old: March 8, 2013

Edison, Serafina & Giuliana are 8 Months Old!

It is hard to believe the babies are already 8 months old. Now that cold and flu season lockdown is over, we are taking them out and about. Walks in public take a while with all the visiting to be done. 

Grandma Margaret & Grandpa Mark spent the weekend with us.

Everyone enjoyed Applesauce this week.

Edison is on his way to mobility. He has scooted a few inches forward a time or two. He is loving practicing his new scream at full volume and not just when he is upset.

Gigi is still really enjoying her feet and prone position. She enjoys being surprised.

Serafina is still enjoying her feet as well. She is practicing her vocal range.

Have a Good Week.

34 Weeks Old: March 3, 2013

Edison, Serafina & Giuliana are 34 weeks old today. 

Gigi is feeling much better than last week. She has discovered her feet and likes to roll over. Her hair is long enough to style into a Mohawk.

Serafina is enjoying her feet a lot.

Edison is "talking" and likes to roll over. 

He will be getting a helmet to help reshape the flattened spot of his head.

Here is a video of him (same one as up on Facebook).

Everyone enjoyed eating Zucchini this week.

Have a Great Week!

33 Weeks Old: February 24, 2013

Serafina, Edison & Giuliana are 33 Weeks Old!

We had our first run in with a fever last week, but Gigi is feeling much better.

Everyone is enjoying eating Sweet Potatoes.

This looks a little goofy, but is Serafina's preferred eating position some days.

All three can make Raspberry Noises.

Look, Edison CAN be serious. Sophie Giraffe makes him very serious.

The trio can all roll from Tummy to Back and Back to Tummy.

Edison weighs 21lbs 4oz. The girls aren't far behind. This means only a few more pounds left in Baby Papasans, Rock 'N Plays and their current car seat. We certainly weren't expecting to replace those so soon.

Have a Great Week!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day 2013 

from Serafina, Giuliana and Edison!

7 months old: February 8, 2013

Giuliana, Edison & Serafina are 7 months old!

How time flies! 

We got updated weights and heights with their Synagis shots on Friday.

Giuliana: 19lb 1.8oz & 25 1/2in

Serafina: 14lb 14.6oz & 24 1/2in

Edison: 20lb 6.8oz & 25 1/4in

This week first Giuliana then Serafina discovered rolling from Back to Tummy.

Edison is a strong grabber and very interested in his hands.

Serafina started creating Raspberry noises.

Everyone enjoys eating Bananas and can bring their legs up to 90 degrees.

All the playing makes for tired babies.

Have a good week!

30 Weeks Old: February 3, 2013

Giuliana, Edison & Serafina are 30 weeks old today.

We have started introducing more solid food. The babies like Avocado. It makes a fun green mess. These kids put away some food! Amazingly, the bigger babies are wearing 12 month clothes. You wouldn't guess they were preemies by their current size. Serafina is not far behind in 9 month clothes.

Serafina Avocado Faced

That would be a pile of spit up. You're welcome, Daddy.

The babies are getting stronger. This week our last to roll from Tummy to Back mastered that skill. Nobody has yet rolled from Back to Tummy but they are getting close.

Teething continues. It is loud. Despite being completely judged by the clerk at Whole Foods (they "Do NOT carry tylenol" but offered me lovely homeopathic options), we do give the kids Children's Tylenol when necessary. Otherwise, they wouldn't eat some feeds.

Grandma Margaret was visiting and helping out during Eddie's surgery and stayed to help while Matt was in Philadelphia. 

During play time, we entertain the kids by dancing with/for them. While dancing in the yellow shirt, Matt sustained a kid entertaining injury. Bruised heel? Like many dancers, he suffers for his art.

Have a good week!

Dorie fits in the cargo area of the triplet stroller. She is not a fan.
