Mason's first tooth

Yesterday John's parent's watched the babies while we went to see Red Riding Hood. When we went to pick them up Mason had a tooth in his mouth. It is crazy that it happened so quickly. There was no tooth in the morning when I gave him a bath and got him dressed and then it was there later that day.

Schedule

Food
At each feeding both boys eat a 7oz bottle and Alyssa eats a 4 oz bottle.
Our Feeding schedule:
4:30am (Alyssa only)
8:00am
11:30am
3:00pm
6:30pm
10:00pm
I am going to stick with this schedule because feeding them every 3 1/2 hours is the only way that I can get them to eat the amount that they need to without staying up even later. We are also starting to do solid foods. During the week they get solid foods before their 6:30pm bottle and on the weekends they get them before their 11:30am bottle also. I feed them all one bite at a time from the same spoon until they are done. At first I wasn't going to feed them from the same spoon because I think that it is sort of gross but then I watch them play and they have each others hands in their mouths so we aren't going to avoid the transfer of germs anyway so I might as well do what is easiest.

Naps
Until today the babies have just slept whenever they have wanted during the day and then slept after their night time bottle until 8am. Now none of them want to sleep during the day so by the end of the day John and I are drained because we have dealt with cranky babies all evening. Today I am starting a nap schedule.  I am going to start with 3 naps.
Nap Times:
10:30am-11:30am
2:00pm-3:00pm
5:30pm-6:30pm

Cross your fingers that this works. I am so tired of all the crabbiness.

6 month checkup

Yesterday, 3-8-11, the babies went to the Dr for their 6 month checkup and vaccinations. They each got 4 shots (2 in each leg). It is sad to watch them scream in pain but I know that it would be way worse if they were to get the diseases those shots prevent.

March 3, 2011

Last March 3rd was the craziest day of my life. John and I went to the Dr thinking that we were going to have one baby and we find that we were going to have four. Well as everyone knows we do not have quads, we have triplets. I still wonder what you would have been like, but I guess that I will never know. You were only with us for a short amount of time but you will always be loved and missed.

I love John

I just wanted to say that seeing how much John loves our babies makes me love him even more. I am so lucky to be married to someone who takes such good care of all of us.

How we spend our days.

All of the babies are now rolling over. It took Kyle the longest but now he is the pro. I was starting to think that maybe he would never roll over. Mason rolled for the first time on January 25th, 2011. Alyssa rolled for the first time on February 2nd, 2011. Kyle rolled on February 28th, 2011. All 3 of them are very happy babies and they smile and laugh a lot. They also love playing with toys now too. Oh, and they love to watch tv, but no one as much as Mason. If the tv is on, and he can't turn to see it, he screams until someone helps him out. Another of their favorite things to do is ride in the stroller while we go on walks. Well, g2g make bottles, I have hungry babies x3.
