Triple Trouble

I know it's been a while since I've updated this but we've had our hands quite full lately!  The babies have all started walking which has just completely thrown my world upside down!  They literally get into everything and if something isn't kid proof, I know in about two point five seconds!  There must be something preprogrammed in little kids brains that says to touch everything possible that's dangerous and that they aren't supposed to touch...no matter how many toys are around, the most off limit thing in the room is always the most interesting and the first thing they go to!  Not only are they all walking, they are starting to talk a little bit...saying simple things like "mama" "dada" "ball" "woof" and a few other babblings that mean things but don't sound quite right just yet.  Other happenings in our life are as follows:

1.  We moved to a bigger house so now we split the kids up into two rooms instead of one...basically it's the good babies in one room and the bad baby in the other... ok I'm kidding... kind of.  We put Bryce in his own room but if one of the babies suddenly starts sleeping poorly or is sick you better believe they will be in that room alone!

2.  No more bottles!!!  We are officially done with bottles and have moved onto sippy cups!  YAY!!!!  This means waayyy less dishes!!

3.  The babies have full blown pacifier addiction!  Emma collects them and carries around as many as she can find...I'm pretty sure she stashes them around the house like a squirrel.

4.  They've learned if they throw everything out of their crib someone will eventually come in there to get them.

5.  If we leave the gate open at the bottom of the stairs it becomes a free for all... all three babies make a bee line to the stairs and race to climb up before someone sees them.

6.  The vet told us Vida needs to loose weight which I completely attribute to Bryce...he feeds her and apparently we don't feed her enough because she's always hungry for whatever he has to offer.

7.  Bryce continues to feed Vida and has taught his sisters how...Vida has also let all her manners go out the window and begs like she's never been fed.  At least when she licks the food off the table she doesn't put her paws up there... she supports herself with her neck and lifts her front paws off the ground when she thinks no one is looking.

8.  If Vida is not near the table because she's in trouble for begging, Bryce flings food as far as he can so she can get to it.  He also flings food when he's done eating or doesn't want to eat.

9.  Brocoli is their favorite food!  Who are these kids?!?

10.  We've started venturing out more, mainly on weekends when Brian's home.

11.  They're learning body parts and it's so funny to watch them point to different parts when you ask them...of course that's if they want to cooperate.

12.  They go to a gym class once a week and it's so much fun!  They love it and I love getting out and talking to the other parents!

13.  The babies finally sleep!!  They sleep from about 7:30 until about 6:30 with one good nap a day!  They really love their cribs and will go and stand by them at night because they want to get in there!  It's great!!

14.  Sibling rivalry has begun...they ALWAYS want what the other one has, including me.  They get very possessive and want me all to him/her self.

15.  Apparently everything belongs in the toilet or the trashcan so beware what you leave laying around my house:)

I think that's enough for now.  I'll try to update more often as I'm finally getting a good break in the day when the take a nap!
