Tomorrow our babies will be 14 months old. This past month has been very busy but very wonderful.
Brody is doing so great in therapy. His legs are getting a lot stronger and he can stand for an entire therapy session. The glasses have been a God send for him. He is all boy and I think he will be an Engineer. He is so much like his daddy it is amazing. He loves to see how things work. His favorite toys are Hot Wheels. He will sit and play with them for hours. He loves to make the tiny wheels spin with his fingers. He can army crawl very quickly but he refuses to crawl or even work on crawling in therapy. He is eating very well and for the most part, we don't have too much of a challenge. He eats a lot. His current breakfast is: 1 whole Nutragrain bar, 1 entire instant oatmeal packet, 1 cup of yogurt. His lunch consist of: 1 large jar of stage 3 baby food meal, 1 small jar of vegetables, 1 small jar of fruit. His snacks are Cheetos, cheerios, pudding, gold fish, and chocolate chip cookies. Dinner is pretty much whatever we are eating unless it is spicy or if I can't mush it up. The junk food is doctors orders because we have to push the calories to get him caught up on weight.... story of my life!
Gracie has grown so much this past month. She now claps her hands. It is amazing to see her clapping her hands and that light bulb smile she has. Therapy is not her favorite. It does not hurt her, she just does not want to do what someone wants her to do, she wants to do what Gracie wants to do. Very strong willed. She is army crawling and the most amazing/ puzzling thing is she uses her "bad" leg as her dominant leg to push off on. She loves to jump in the bouncer and continues to use both feet. She is very much in love with her daddy and screams with joy the moment he walks in the door. Her and I do have a blast during the day but the nights are reserved for daddy time only. She is eating the same things as Brody but it does take her longer because little love still has no teeth and is not even getting any yet!
Madi is a full blown toddler. She actually walked around behind a toy today for the first time. I was shocked. Earlier in the week I put her in the walker and she took off around the house for the first time. She now zips around going 90 to nothing. I wonder who she gets that from...... {Meme} She has her two front teeth half way out and two other top teeth coming in to join the two bottom teeth. She loves to make a huge mess with her food by getting her hands full of food and then clapping and laughing. Hoss loves this! She is eating the same types of foods but not as much. She doesn't need as many calories and she refuses food when she is full. She loves to eat whatever we are eating and will scream at you until you give her your food. She is drinking out of a straw now!
We went out to eat and put the babies in high chairs this past month instead of keeping them in their car seats. They ate our food and really enjoyed it. Some parents of multiples hid/ stay in until their kids are like 7 but I refuse to do that. That is not Ricky and I. Some people say it is too much work or too hard but whatever, this is life and I'm not going to stop living because I have 3 kids that I happened to have at the same time. They are so well behaved that I don't see it as an issue. The issue is not them, it is strangers.
Anyway, I'm so happy for September. It is the start of fall and of course a huge birthday month.
Happy Birthday to: Papa who will be the big 65, Kelsey Bug will be 4, and Meme will be 64!
