My Little Man...

Sometimes I feel like Joey gets "lost in the mix" being that he has 3 sisters, so this post is just all about him!! Here's a little bit about my little man....

• Weighed 3 pounds 6 ounces at birth, the largest of the three. He still is the biggest although Riley is right behind him!
• In the NICU he just cruised right through, never having any issues. The nurses always said that typically "preemie white boys" don't do so well and are not that strong but he proved them wrong!
• He is my Mr. Mellow. He is so laid-back and has a "go with the flow" attitude. When he cries it is because he is either hungry or needs his diaper changed. Otherwise he is content watching his Baby Einstein DVD's, playing with his toys or relaxing in his swing.
  
• SUPER patient and because of that he is usually the last one to be fed, or the last one to have a bath!
  
• He loves to study his hands. He will stare at them, opening and closing to make a fist.
• He likes to scratch his head, like a little monkey.
  
• He loves to smile and laugh, hold his sisters' hands when laying next to them and is just all around a good baby.
  
• Joey is my breath of fresh air. If I am ever feeling stressed or overwhelmed I just have to spend a few minutes with him and his calm smile makes me relax! Here are a few pictures of Joey from birth to now. Hope you enjoy!
  

Yes, that is Lindsay's Bumbo seat when she was little and she still likes to sit in it when any of the others sit in theirs. I even caught her giving Joey a lick of her lollipop that day!

He is ready to go golfing with dad!!!

You're never too big!

I had forgotten that we had this swing in the attic from when Lindsay was a baby and since we can always use another swing around here I brought it out yesterday. Of course, just like every "new" thing I bring out for the babies, Lindsay has to sit in it and claim it as hers. Well at least it still does its job!!


Here is Lindsay when she was 10 months old in the swing...
And here she is at 2 1/2 years old in the same swing! She sat in it to watch t.v. and fell asleep!
Priceless!

All Smiles...

Pictures...pictures...pictures

I finally have a few moments to put up some recent pictures of the kids. The triplets will be 6 months next week!! Everyone is doing well, just busy, busy, busy!!!

Crazy Kayla!
I love her eyes!

Smiley Riley as we call her! :)
And we can't forget about Lindsay! She is doing great with the babies. She can recognize who is crying from the other room, sometimes better than Brian or I. She loves to read them stories, sing them songs, and just make them laugh! Oh, and she also likes to sit in their seats...which most of them used to be hers when she was little!
I hope everyone is doing well....I will try to get on later and write more but for now I hope you enjoy the pictures!!!

Wow...its been awhile

Well I know I don't need to tell you that I have been busy but this past month has gone by so fast! Brian and I were able to get away to Lake Havasu by ourselves the second weekend of April, then I went to Las Vegas for a quick 24 hour trip with one of my friends the following weekend, then Brian went back to Lake Havasu with some of his friends for a boat race, and then this past weekend we went on a camping trip on the river and were able to take Lindsay with us! Thank goodness for my parents and Brian's mom who took turns watching the babies! I am definitely very thankful for them! I also recently got a triple jogger stroller so that when Lindsay is at daycare I can get out of the house with all 3 babies by myself for a walk. The stroller is huge and takes up the whole sidewalk but it does the job and the kids love it! I can't believe they are almost 5 months old! They are all doing really well!
Here are a few pictures of this past weekend. Lindsay had a blast and I am glad we got to spend a weekend with her where she didn't have to share our attention with anyone else! She has been to the river before when she was a baby but this was her first trip where she understood everything and was able to walk around by herself and just have fun!
I love this picture of them walking...too cute!
She loves bubbles and was so excited to have them on the boat!

Well if I don't get back on here this weekend, I hope all of you have a wonderful Mother's Day!!!

Happy Easter

I know my posts have been far and few between but at least this is the second one in the same month! :) Everyone is doing well...the babies are around 9 - 10 pounds. They are sleeping about 5 -6 hours through the night and about 4 hours during the day between feedings. Although I feel like all I do is make bottles and feed babies! My mom returns to work Wednesday!!! She has been such a huge help I am not sure how I am going to manage but I'm sure I will. Lindsay is still attending her daycare/preschool during the week so that helps my days to be a little less chaotic.
Here are some pictures from Easter at my mom's house yesterday. Hope you enjoy!
