One Year NICU Follow Up

We had the 1 year NICU follow up for the triplets today. Dr.'s and therapist say they look great! Of course, we knew that. Just like to have other professional opinions. They were a little tired and hungry, so didn't want to cooperate with all of the little 'tests', but they still did good. It was a LONG day though.

So, I threw all of the bottles away last night. I saved 3, just in case, but the other 30 something went in the trash! Jimmy even helped me, although he kept pulling them out too. We have so much extra space on the counter now! They are doing great with the sippy cups...just a couple of crabby days while transitioning.

Alli was having fun making noises with the bottles
Jenna is our climber....we keep finding her on the couch, on top of all of the toys. She is also trying to jump...its so cute. She doesn't get her feet off the ground, but she does bounce up and down. They are all walking so good. Cassie caught on very quickly with the walking. They are down to one nap a day now (usually). They sleep from about 6-7pm until usually 7-8am. Very nice! Alli is pretty much done napping now. Such a big girl. Sometimes she'll still take one. Jimmy is still pretty laid back. Cassie seems to be getting a little more clingy/whiny/jealous lately. They are all starting to dance a little bit (or at least imitate us when we do it). Jenna loves to laugh lately. She even fakes laughing, just to get us to laugh.

Allison and I spent a lot of time together last weekend. Jim played poker Friday night, so Alli and I went shopping at Kohls. Saturday, I took her to a b-day party for my friends daughter at The Little Gym. She had sooooo much fun running around and playing. That night, Jim and I went to a friends house for a game night. We really had a lot of fun. Although the guys beat the girls at Taboo....I have to admit, I'm not very good. Sunday, Alli and I went to church, then lunch together at Bread Co. She loves when its just me and her and we get to go inside and eat, rather than just the drive-thru when I have all the babies with us. We went to Target too.

Alli swimming in the bathtub. She loves when she gets to have bubbles, which is only when she is alone. She can't have them with the babies in there with her.

Alli being sweet to Daddy

Jimmy looks like he's going to eat the bottle. I see Alli's little hand with the painted fingernails helping throw out the bottles. She looks so cute in the bathtub with all the bubbles. Attacking dad is such a cute picture. Good update. Love Mom
