Milestones!

The biggest and most exciting thing ever written (typed?) in this blog: The triplets are sleeping through the night! I mean that once they go to their cribs at 9:30 p.m., no adult enters the nursery until 7:30 the next morning! YAY!

Other than that, our doctor's visit last week went very well. Samantha weighs 12 pounds 9 ounces, Delaney weighs 12 pounds 11 ounces, and Mary Beth "The Moose" weighs 14 pounds 7 ounces! Yes, we do feed Sam and Delaney! We are now eating solids three times a day and will soon taste yummy things like yogurt. As is always the case, the worst part of the visit was shots. We took Nana with us for additional comforting support. Very smart of us, I must say!

Mommy and Daddy went to the Dave Matthews Band concert last night. Aunt Jessica and Uncle Scott baby-sat and spent the night. What lifesavers we have for friends and family! We had a great time, and the Dixons survived!

We go tomorrow night to have the Girls' pictures made professionally for the first time. Everyone do a collective prayer that they'll turn their cute on and not spit up on their new, expensive, white dresses! We'll see... I'll try to remember to e-mail out the proof information once I have it.

Well, ta-ta for now! Mommy has to put real clothes on (duck pajamas don't count as real clothes!)...

We are SIX months old today!!!

The time really does fly! The Girls are half a year old today! They have changed so much. The hamster-like creatures we brought home from the hospital aren't here anymore! They have so much personality and really are SO different from each other (except Delaney and Sam who, right now, are acting exactly the same and are crying instead of napping in their cribs!).

They love lots of things right now: singing, applesauce, Peek-a-Boo, tickling, Taggie blankets, board books, the "Baby Cobra" yoga pose, and smiling at Mommy and Daddy.

As they are my children, there are also things they hate!: napping in their cribs (see above note!), Mommy and Daddy paying attention to anyone other than them, 2:30 a.m., and sleeping on their backs.

Delaney is still our little love bug! She is usually the most even-tempered of the bunch, and laughs quickly. But, she can go from hot to cold in no time flat! She refuses to lay on a Boppy pillow after she eats anymore, and demands to be held and rocked. Oh, my diva child!

Mary Beth is such a big girl! She loves to stand up, and will do it for long periods of time if you balance her. I can't believe how strong she is! She is the most aware of attention. If you don't pay attention to her she cries and sounds just like a pterodactyl!

Samantha is our sunshine! She will almost always stop crying if you sing "You Are My Sunshine" to her. She loves food and has the eating thing down to a science! She has the cutest laugh, and likes to chew on her stuffed alligator, Clyde!

More next week after their doctor visit!
