Happy February everyone! The month of LOVE! Spring is in the air....the days are getting longer....life is good!
Well, let me see....what have we been up to since our last update.....Hmmmm. Ahhh, I'll start with our baby food adventures. Yes, I am in fact successfully making it all for the girls. To be honest it's really not that hard or time consuming I just tend to do a whole lot at once and then freeze it for later. It's kind of fun trying to figure out what new item to blend next or what two items to blend together (I know, I know..it doesn't take much to keep me amused now a days) So far we have experimented with the following: banana, butternut squash, avocado, apples, pears, peas, green beans, sweet potatoes and yogurt. Everything has passed the triplets discriminating tastes except for (to my horror) yogurt! (And it's the good stuff too! Those of you who have had the pleasure of sharing a lunch room with me or have happened to open my fridge on occasion know that I am a true YOGURT SNOB! Full fat Greek yogurt only if you please...the richer and thicker the better!) Anyway, no one is quite sure about it yet. Evangeline happened to gag on her first little bit and then proceeded to toss her cookies, without hesitation.
I am happy to report that Victoria has officially begun to roll over. It's a bit hit and miss and there is absolutely no grace to it what-so-ever but it's definitely an accomplishment in my books. The other two girls are still trying to perfect their technique and to be honest I think Violets lower body is a bit too......um, shall we say....robust? to quite get the momentum going but I have to say she is gaining ab strength every time she tries; which is only a good thing. The girls are not sitting up on their own quite yet but they can do the 'tripod' for a minute or two before toppling over and Violet is trying very hard to get there. Razzing is our all time favourite thing (of the moment). Particularly when we have just taken a swig from the bottle or eaten a bunch of peas (now that's fun times for all).... a little messy but we have fun watching them amuse themselves....and Todd has diligently Scotch Guarded every surface in this house so, I think we're ok.
Everyone is teething....I think. It kind of seems like it's been going on FOREVER but still I can't find a single pearly white. I wake up to red cheeks, am constantly wiping at slobbery babies, have given Tylenol to cries in the night, the girls have been chewing themselves silly on teething rings yet still, that darn Tooth Fairy had eluded us (I say the Tooth Fairly because I figure if she/he taketh away she/he must also giveth).
Unfortunately I am not exactly sure what everyone currently weighs (we have a visit to our Pediatrician early next month) but for now I can tell you that little Evangeline is over 16 pounds!
Victoria I am guessing is around 18.5 and Violet is probably about 20 (again this is just me guessing). So the girls are getting big!
Oh, I had an exciting little trip away....yup, a whole night on my own! The plan was to head down to Vancouver for my girlfriend Carol's baby shower (she was actually going to pick me up from the airport) and wouldn't you know it...... little baby Paige Elizabeth wanted to attend the shower too! The shower was postponed to the next weekend but I was so thrilled that I actually got to meet her! Congratulations to my dear friends Carol and Torey! You already know how adorable I think she is but I will tell you again; she is the sweetest little thing!
So while in Vancouver a large group of some awesome friends were able to get together to catch up with me. It was so great to see everyone and reconnect. Thank you all for coming and listening to my crazy stories and special thanks to Christine for hosting us all late into the night! Of course you all know you are welcome here anytime! Oh and I can't forget to mention my wonderful hubby Todd...he was all on his own for about 36 hours and did an awesome job with his little baby girls! I know he enjoyed some special bonding time with our trio.
Ok, ok...I know what everyone is waiting for...enough already right?! Where are the pictures??
Well, here you go..enjoy. I hope you all also enjoy your February. If you have Love cherish it and if you're looking for Love just remember you've got to give it to receive it....
