Happy New Year and Happy Birthday!

My personal assistant, body guard, nanny and food scrap cleaner turns 21 tomorrow! (okay so that is in dog years, in reality she is 3) Happy Birthday Athena, she is such a good dog!

17 Months Old!

Wow, we are already to 17 months! The trio are walking more and more, crawling is becoming a thing of the past. Running is next, oh my!

Choo Choo Wagon

One of our favorite presents from Grandpa and Grandma! I am so excited for spring, now we can go to the zoo and all kinds of fun places in our new mode of transporation!

Merry Christmas!

Christmas Eve

We Love Santa!

Much to my suprise the triplets loved Santa! I guess it helps that good 'ole St. Nick was actually Grandpa.

Swiffer Workers

Dusting has become the new favorite thing for the triplets. I love it because the Swiffer Dusters are easy to use and when I tell the babies where to dust, it actually works! So now what else can I have them do, hmmm I wonder if unloading the dishwasher is too much? Okay so maybe not yet, but one day, I can only dream right now. They also love to use the floor duster, the Swiffer Sweeper and vaccum. Hmm this is starting to sound like a Swiffer advertisement, maybe I can get some free Swiffer stuff if I keep saying Swiffer, yes folks thats right Swiffer products are used and trusted by triplet moms everywhere! (hey Swiffer where is my free stuff, or better yet how about a commercial?!?)

Walking Part 2

We Are Walking!

We have walkers in the house! All three are now taking several steps to walking across the room on their own. In this past week they have really been practicing on their own. No more Mommy trying to get them to "walk to Mommy". They still seem to think that crawling is definately the more conveinent way to get around especially if there is a race to get a prized toy or a prized item that is off limits such as the TV remote control. They are also trying oh so hard to climb onto the couch. Oh my!! They have managed to figure out if the ottoman is next to the couch that they are able to climb onto that and then they can get onto the couch with ease. So I have to keep that ottoman a considerable distance from the couch now. My Christmas Tree is placed behind the couch so they are unable to reach it, that is unless they get onto the couch!!Only a few more weeks to go, then the tree will be down and that issue will be gone! Whew!

16 months old!

Well we are so close to walking, everyone is taking steps alone but not all the time. So its coming anytime. So adjusted age they are 13.5 months, so that is average for walking.

We have our Christmas tree up, as one of the photos above shows and the babies love it! I was tricky and put it in the corner of the living room and moved the couch in front of it. Now they can look but cant touch, that makes my life a whole lot easier. A few years ago I had one of our dogs knock over the Christmas tree and I wasn't going to do that again!!
