3 Months Old

The boys are now 3 months old and really starting to change.  We heard Skyler giggle for the first time, we are starting to hear cooing and I think Asher is working real hard on figuring out how to roll over!  They all give us little insights to how fun it's going to be over the next few months of their lives. 

I think the boys are catching on to our routine and we...Mom, Dad and Nana are getting better at not giving in so much and breaking the routine.  I am starting to understand that the boys really want a routine, they like to know what to expect.  I am quickly learning all of their cries; it's quite amazing to me.  I'm not always right, but I know that they all have the "seven mile stare" and after the 2nd yawn they are pretty much ready to go to bed. 

 I am not one for complete "structure" in my personal life.  It kind of drives me crazy, but welcome to the new me, "mom to triplets"!  We live by the clock and chart everything we do with the babies; from how much they ate, how many burps, if they went #1 or #2 and if we had to wake them for their next feeding.  It's crazy, but if you don't live like this with 3 babies I am starting to realize you won't get thru the first year!!!

I have listened and learned a lot from a few of the triplet moms in town and I have read LOTS of books.  If I can make it any easier...BRING IT ON!

All in all the boys are doing pretty well.  We are still battling Ryder's reflux issues.  It seems to be worse than ever.  We have changed formulas, medicine and it looks like now we are on to a GI specialist.  I am thankful that we are finally going to get this checked out.  It is really sad that every time we try to pick Ryder up or interact with him, he spits and has bouts of reflux.  We feel so helpless!!!  I am crossing my fingers that there is something we can do to help the little guy.

We don't have too much else to report.  The babes are keeping us busy, we are keeping them busy and I think over the next few months it might be a little more "fun-filled".  We have Dr apts, a switch in grandmas, house guests (one great grandma, great aunt and uncle, their 2nd and possible 3rd cousins, a grandpa and uncle!!) and possible pool-time for the boys.  No swimming just yet as they are too young, but we will just push the envelope a bit and see if they like it.  They sure love their baths and they love the shower!

I will leave you once again with a few photos.  We send out all our love!!!
