9 MOS OLD

I can hardly believe the triplets are 9 mos old already. When they are so good and cute, I can't believe that much time has already gone by! But when they all cry, I always felt like the time was dragging and they've been around forever! It's almost time to start planning a 1st birthday party already. I wish I could have enjoyed more of their earlier months and not have been so stressed out, but I don't know if that was really possible. Don't get me wrong-I've enjoyed them and love them so much, I just feel guilty sometimes when I think of all the time I cuddled with Alli and just hung out with her and I don't get to do that as much with these guys. I'm sure all parents having their second kids probably feel that way a little bit, I just feel guilty 3 times over. Just a lot of hard work. Its funny how I used to think it was hard taking Alli out to the store or dreaded feeding or giving a bath. Now I realize how easy I had it :) Anyway, everyone used to tell me I would miss their baby days, and I don't think I will too much, but I do a little already. I was at Target last week and saw some pregnant ladies and started thinking I want another one. Of course, NOT YET. But probably someday :) Of course, I guess I have to talk this over with Jim.

Day by day though, the babies are getting easier to handle and they are so smiley and laugh so cute. Alli makes them laugh so hard. I love to watch her interact with them. She is so sweet and always wants to see them first thing when they wake up in the morning. I think Jenna laughs the hardest at her, followed by Jimmy.

I'm making appts now for their 9 mos pics, but thought I would put a few videos on of them...nothing majorly exciting or anything, just them looking cute.

We had their 9 mos checkup today. They are doing well and only had to get one shot today.....here are the stats...I don't think they put them on the preemie curve anymore, so the girls are kind of small for being 9 mos. Not sure what happened to Jimmers.

Jenna is the runt weighing in at 16lbs 1oz (15%) and 27 in (45%)---so far, she has a body nothing like mine....long and skinny legs


Cassie weighs 17lbs 9oz (25%) and 26 in (10%)

Jimmy weighs 24lbs 1oz (93%) and 28 in (50%)---now this sounds more like my body type-haha!

It looks like all the kids know they are being taped. They smile directly at the camera. "Big Hams" just like their big sister Alli. They are all so beautiful and getting so big. Have fun at the races tonight. Love ya, Jackie
