So Many New Things

I know I've said it before but it still amazes me how each week the babies seem to be doing something new and even more exciting than before! And thus far it seems that each time when we worry that one of them isn't doing something that they should, not too long after they start doing it!

Annabel has been so attentive lately, giggling like crazy and playing with the other two, focusing on us and holding "conversations", rolling from side to side, reaching to grab toys and slowly but surely using her left hand more and more. Check out how awesome she's holding her sippy cup! We were cheering her on that night and she was so proud of herself!

Madelyn continues to amaze us with how much she studies something until she figures it out. She figured out how to reach up and pull the puppy to make it go, she's been doing a good job turning pages of a book, and lately when she's on her tummy she's been staring down the toys in front of her, just trying to figure out how to crawl to them, moving her legs but not getting her arms down yet.

Johnathan has been rolling more often and is doing a much better job at lifting his head when on his tummy. He is also loving being lifted up on to his feet and then jumping in that position and he's working on the army crawl. I had to take Johnathan to get his helmet adjusted today. We had finally gotten to the point of them wearing them all day and the first night he got a huge red spot that swelled a bit and didn't go away (it's still there 4 days later). The orthotic person (not our usual person because he is on vacation this week) thinks he may have already outgrown the helmet but he did make some adjustments to it to get him by for another week in which he'll then be remeasured. This whole process has been very frustrating!

The babies have been growing like crazy now that they're eating solids too. Their recent introduction was swee potatoes and they love them! This week we added cereal after their morning bottle too and so far the girls have been finishing it all and Johnathan almost finishes it. Their current weights are Annabel - 13lbs 6 1/2ozs, Madelyn - 11lbs, and Johnathan 12lbs 15 1/2ozs. I can't believe how quickly they're changing now and growing up so fast!

We have been enjoying the nice weather, taking them on walks and we took them to Home Depot for their first outing on Saturday so we could look at things for projects this summer.
