Twice in one week???

I know, I'm getting crazy with the blog now :P Just kidding, but I thought I'd give an update on the different personalities of the kids.

Jack: Started out kind of urpy (I'm sure it's a word) for his first few months, but now he is all smiles and laughs at absolutely everything. Sophia loves to dance for the kids because of how much Jack laughs. He is also our best sleeper through the night... could be because he is the biggest. Jack also has a bad gag reflex... if you give him something he doesn't like... he gags like he's going to throw up... such the melodramatic.

Nate: He has always been the quieter one. His cry is fairly soft, and he is pretty easy to please. He is the only one that likes the binky (pacifier) these days. He is not too hip on lying on his stomach, so we need to work on that so he can start crawling (yikes). Nate looks a lot like my baby pictures (poor kid) but I think he is adorable!

Gabbi: Definitely ahead of the curve with the others. She was the first to sit up, the first one to move (she rolls around now), and the loudest. There is no doubt about it, when Gabbi is unhappy, everyone is unhappy. Thus the original nickname "Crabby Gabbi". Now she is at the stage where she keeps taking whatever one of the other kids is holding. So she has earned a new nickname "Grabby Gabbi".

The picture here is of the kids with our nanny Cori, and their very close friend Ryan "Rhino" O'Loughlin (middle one on the bottom) in their matching outfits.

Rhino is 3 days younger than the triplets, but you couldn't tell by the way he motates around the living room... giving us a glimpse of what we are in for X3.

Cory, our wonderful nanny is doing all she can to help me continue my blogging by providing me with pictures of the little ones on new adventures.

Here Cory and her sister Alex took Sophia, Jack, Nate, Gabbi and Maddie out to play in the snow. They seem to like it, don't you think?

The kids are doing great! For the most part they are sleeping through the night, with the occasional waking, but definitely managable.

Sophia is an incredible big sister for them, they are so lucky! The first thing she does each morning is come down and say hi to each of them and gives them hugs and kisses. She then proceeds to play with them until her breakfast is ready. So sweet.

Jack and Gabbi are starting to get to big for their car seats, and the other day we had an issue with trying to fit Gabbi on the stroller in her carseat, and her feet hung out over the edge so much that it got stuck under the one in front of her... not good.

Jack laughs at everything... he is easy to crack up, and Sophia loves to make him laugh. Nate and Gabbi laugh as well... but not nearly as much as Jack.

Sophia's doing great in kindergarten and her reading is really taking off. She just had her first dance recital, and I think she actually hammed it up a bit... we're talking potential here!
