7 months

This pretty much sums up the last month!

Sick boys. Max was not putting up with Connor's good mood.

This month has been the hardest yet. Todd went on a business trip, the kids have been passing a bug back and forth for that eventually turns into an earache for over a month, and honestly I've been exhausted. Every triplet mom I talk to says, "don't worry it gets easier as they get older." I keep thinking it's getting harder. When they were younger they ate, slept, pooped, and we had it down to a pretty strict schedule. We had time to run quick errands, walk the dog, sleep occasionally, take a shower, etc. Now it's all hit the fan. So, I'm going to officially say it..."6 months is the hardest yet especially when they all have colds." I'm excited for 7 months to start and hopefully be germ free.


Our little sweet peas started eating solids this month! They started with....sweet peas! Ok, actually it was rice cereal and then a banana but then it was sweet peas so I can sorta say that. We got the ok from our pediatrician that they can start solids awhile ago but for some reason we wanted to wait a little longer. We brought out the rice cereal and they ate it up like crazy. Mouths wide open, chewing motions, and giant smiles. I guess they were more than ready. So, we moved on to a banana which went over pretty well too. However, we forgot that we read somewhere not to start them on fruits because then they might not ever want their veggies. oops. So, we started again with sweet peas. This is hilarious to watch. They take a spoonful and then realize that it's absolutely disgusting and their whole bodies shake as they spit out half of it. I have to agree with them though. Mushed up peas are pretty nasty...the taste, the color, the smell, everything. Not sure what's next avocado? sweet potato? carrots? It's really insane all the info that's out their about how to start your children on solids. Certain foods help their digestion while such and such is good for their brain but don't forget to provide enough vitamin d! so, I sorta stopped reading all of it. I do ask friends for their opinions and take the bits and pieces I like in their philosophies.

Ok, prepare yourself for cuteness overload. I couldn't pick just one of these. Evi was so proud of herself in her tutu it was too funny!

Good Ole Maggie!

Evi is infatuated with Maggie! (it's not mutual)

City Park...our stomping grounds

 We've had some amazingly warm January days (beautiful Colorado!) so we have left the house a tiny bit.

Taking the 'big kid' stroller for a spin.

The nursery is getting cramped!

 They were happy occasionally this month....

Connor is working on holding his own bottle!

I do have to say Todd and I have an amazing group of friends and family out here that have bent over backwards to help us whenever we've needed it. We are so lucky. While Todd was in Vermont on business we had different people visit us everyday. They brought food, played with babies, went on walks, and Aunt Erin and Uncle Mike even helped me out by spending the night so I could have help at the 6am feeding! I wish I was able to feed the babies by myself. I can't believe there was a time when I could. Now that is impossible.

O and check out how close Connor is to crawling!!!
