Yes and No

The title of this post as double meaning.

Yes, my hands are full and no, we didn't plan to purposely have triplets. BUT, we wouldn't change it for the world! I don't mind the many questions we get when we're out and about, as I would be curious too if I were in their shoes.

But, I will say that the transition from infancy to toddlerhood is a challenging one. Biting, pushing and tantrums are all putting our new discipline techniques to the test. And although the babies aren't speaking the words "yes" and "no" much yet, they are certainly responding with "yes" and "no" on a very regular basis.

My sister-in-law and I were talking about how my neice, who is only 8 months older than the babies, sleeps in every once in a while. I was amazed, as our babies never sleep in. Keith and I did the math to find out how likely it is that our babies would all sleep in, therefore allowing us to sleep in as well. Assuming that each baby sleeps in about once every 10 days, we figured that our babies will all sleep in on the same day one in every 10,000 or so days. So one time in the next three years we should have the opportunity to sleep in as a family!

The babies are 15 months old today! Payson has been fully walking this last week and is so proud of himself, and so are we! Play the video to see him on the move.


Grammy and GP visited this weekend and GP and Madison enjoyed some quality reading time.

Sweet little Hayden only enters the ball pit from the lowest step through the attached mesh basket, and she somehow manages to get stuck with her feet and head downwards. This happens every few days though we have yet to see exactly how it happens.

The babies love playing outside, but it's quite difficult keeping bark, flowers and leaves out of the mouths of mobile babies.

Payson and Madison are all smiles playing on their wagon.

Hayden, with hair blowing in the breeze, kept picking and trying to eat flowers.
