3 teething babies.

All 3 are teething right now. Alyssa and Kyle are getting their 3rd and 4th bottom teeth and Mason is getting his first bottom molars. They are all whiny and have runny noses and they don't want to sleep at night, so they are making all of our lives hard right now. I am not trying to brag on myself but I think that I handle taking care of 3 babies pretty well but when they don't let me sleep at night it is hard to have the patience required to take care of them all day while John is at work. I guess that they should learn early on that if I don't get sleep that I have a tough time saying the same thing over and over again  in a nice voice because that probably wont ever change.

Tooth Count:
Mason: 9- all 8 front teeth and the bottom right molar (he is getting the bottom left molar)
Kyle: 7- 4 on top and 3 on bottom (he is getting the other bottom front tooth now)
Alyssa: 6- 4 on top and 2 on bottom (she is getting the other 2 on bottom)

As you see they are still in the process of getting teeth right now so we will probably have a few more sleepless nights before we are done. Plus, I know that it is only a matter of time before they get more and we have to do this all over again.

Insurrection

Sufficient unto the day is one baby. As long as you are in your right mind don't you ever pray for twins. Twins amount to a permanent riot; and there ain't any real difference between triplets and a insurrection.

I had this on my Facebook before but wanted to share on here, of course this is an exaggeration but some days it feels like it. Mason is a climber and that makes things hard, he has now figured out how to get out of the baby fence that I have in the living room and has gotten out a few times. The first time that he got out he pushed a toy box to the fence and both Mason and Kyle climbed out. Now I need to figure this out, most likely I will take the fence down and just baby proof the house. :-(
 
Kyle is walking so well now, he is starting to walk more stable and he hardly falls now. Kyle loves to play with balls of any kind and he will go pick them up and walk them over to Daddy (or me if Daddy is at work) and throw the ball to us. Mason is starting to take a few steps now and he has a huge smile on his face the whole time.
 
Alyssa has been meeting with a nutritionist every 2-3 weeks and has had 2 appointments so far. The first appointment was on 10/1 and she weighed 14 lbs 5 oz on 10/17 she weighed 14 lbs 10 oz  so 5 oz in 16 days which means 1/3 of an oz a day which is perfect!!! I am so happy that she is growing and doing so well with her milestones now.

They are getting too big.

Kyle has been walking for about a month now. He started walking on the 12th or 13th of September and now he is trying to run. He wants to go faster than he can handle at the time so he falls a lot but he doesn't mind, he just finishes crawling where he wants to go. Alyssa is starting to stand a little bit. Mason will take a step or two but he has the best balance to just stand when you set him on his feet. Also, Mason is a climber. He uses anything that he can find to climb, so far he hasn't fallen but he gets so excited that he forgets how to get down sometimes.
