Swinging Good Time

We had such a fun filled Labor Day weekend! We took the babies to the park for the first time and they absolutely loved the infant swings. The girls swung back-to-back and Payson got to be on his own. The babies squealed and giggled with delight as you can see in the video below.










Madison is still not taking to solids yet and makes a face at the spoon the second she sees it. Who needs spoons anyway? Keith tried feeding her with his finger outside of her high chair and she did a little better.

We filled up the baby "pool" again and the babies spent most of their time vying for the bath books - they are obsessed with them. We also caught Payson on camera trying to eat Madison's head. I always know what a baby has been up to when another baby's hair is soaking wet (outside of the pool!).

The babies got to hang out with their buddy Harrison when he and his parents, Joey and Cristin, visited this weekend. You would never know that he's 5 months younger as he is on Madison's tail with his weight!

The babies also had some fun playtime with their beautiful cousins, Addison and Avery. They loved them and watched their every move.

Hayden is extremely close to crawling and mastered the Downward Facing Dog in one day flat. Madison also did the move for the first time the same day as Hayden. In fact, Hayden hardly had a nap this morning because she was busy practicing her crawl in her crib. Seriously!

Payson's big news is that his first two teeth came in this last week! He is such a funny boy. He knows just how to make me crack up these days. Please forgive my partial fake-laugh as I was egging him on to continue with his intense shakey fake smile.

Okay...Payson is HYSTERICAL! That video is PRICELESS!

And for the record...I've not taken my triplets to the park. How on earth does one take 3 babies to a park?

Jessica - your comment about how having a 4th baby would make it so much easier (at least for the swings) cracked me up! Ha! Looks like the kids are having a blast.

Looks like Payson's inherited his Daddy's knack for making people laugh. We cracked up watching him ... and now I feel "confirmed" in my claim that at 5 months old, our baby boy (Keith) was consciously trying to make us laugh!! Too bad we didn't have video cameras back then or we could've proven it too!!! ha He had all 3 of us rolling in the floor in tears with all his funny faces! Love to all, Grammy Rox
P.S. Hayden and Madison are funny too, but I think Payson knew exactly what he was doing. What a pleaser! ha
