4 Month Pictures

Brooke

McKay

Caleb

I have to get their pictures every month or so the first year because they change so much. Here's their 4 month shots in which they are all smiling and we even had several cute poses of each.

Ho Ho Ho!!!

We took the kids to get their pictures taken with Santa. Here's the group shot. I'll post their individuals as soon as I put them on the computer.

Something to CELEBRATE!

All 3 babies slept through the night!!! Brooke started crying around 4 am and while I was debating on whether or not to try and wake Jason (this is NOT an easy task) or just go feed her myself, she stopped and went back to sleep. So I did the same and slept until 7:30 am. We're hoping this is the first of many to come...

Holding Hands

Right after their baths they get rubbed down and tummy time and kicking on their backs. They lay there and Caleb pulls on McKay's ears and they all ended up holding hands on their own. And yes, they're all wearing different diapers. I never had problems with Huggies or Pampers with Nicole, but McKay leaks through everything. Huggies are not an option. We thought we loved Pampers Swaddlers but not even those on McKay. We bought some of the new Fisher Price overnight diapers and he didn't leak so far. It's been such a pain. The last two weeks I can change his diaper every two hours and he is still wet on his onsie and clothes around his legs-as if I don't have enough laundry to do. The diapers are plenty big-we went up to the next size and still no luck. Any suggestions with boys? He's in the middle and as you can see looks much bigger than Caleb, but so far their weights are very close. They get weighed again next week. Caleb looks so skinny. McKay is great at rolling from his tummy to his back. Caleb started rice cereal this week. He's been the most interested in food so we're starting one at a time. He's doing really well and opens his mouth for the spoon. I give it to him once a day in the evening hoping he'll start sleeping longer at night.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Jason had to work in the morning on Thanksgiving. He was sure he wouldn't make it to work at 6 am if he helped at all with the babies during the night so I was on my own. I was getting in bed at 5:15 am as he was on his way out. I might have gotten an hour before that. I then had to get everyone ready and fed and packed in the car with our diaper bags and gear including a pack n play and jumper for naps and entertainment and meet Jason at his work at 2 pm. This is why I never leave the house alone. I'm pretty sure it took longer to get ready then we were actually gone. They babies were exhausted too because the boys wouldn't take naps so we've had a horrible last two nights. Maybe next year will be better.

Little Friends

The latest of Brooke. I need to charge my camera so I can take some more pictures, it's been over a week. They've slowed down on their growth though. They only gained one pound last month. Their 4 month stats: Caleb 13 lbs 13 oz, McKay 13 lbs 14 oz, Brooke 13 lbs 10 oz.
We did get a new family picture a couple weeks ago and everyone is actually looking, babies aren't smiling but they're looking straight ahead so that's a start. I'll post it as soon as I get our scanner reinstalled. Grrr-Jason installed Windows 7 so we have to reinstall everything. Next time we'll have to hire Carly to Photoshop huge smiles on everyone! I'm sure that's the only way it will happen. We did individuals last week and they all did awesome. I had several pictures of each of them that I couldn't resist.

Brothers-They're starting to interact with each other now. They look at each other and smile and giggle. We prop them up in the corners of the playpen and they all sit and talk to each other. They're so sweet!
