7 months

Well the babies are in their new home and the adjusted quite well. They love their cribs which are a lot closer together now and their new play room where they all have a jumper! Their favorite thing to do is to get in the jumpers and look at each other and laugh.

The schedule of 7 months is:
7:30 - Wake up and play
8:00 - Eat and play
10:30 - Nap
11:30 - Wake up and play
12:00 - Eat
12:30 - Play
1:30 - Nap
3:00 -Wake up and play
4:30 - Eat and play
6:00 - Scream and be mad
7:00 - Eat
8:00 - Bed

Presley is doing great. She is smiling and laughing a lot! She is still trying to crawl. She is on her knees and hands rocking and lunging all over the place. She can get anywhere she wants doing that and rolling. She reaches for everything and loves to take my glasses off. She has started grabbing things and banging them on her high chair. She still doesn't like to take all of her bottle but she likes to eat food alright. She has also started to hold her bottle all by herself. She is pretty tough. She plays hard with the boys.

Keegan has turned out to be really happy as well. He does not get as mad as you used to. He is a really good napper and loves to eat! He has been pretty content and has not really gotten into crawling or moving around too much. He can roll back and for but only when he wants too. He loves to play and laugh with his brother. He always has the funniest expressions on his face and enjoys talking...well baby talking.

Ashton is doing well also. He loves to observe things. For example he spent a good 10- 15 minutes looking at the wipes box and turning it on his side and then pushing it back up. He also loves to eat and spit up. I swear that boy spits up every 2 minutes! We have put a sheet down on our living room to help save the carpet but Ashton is moving so much he gets the carpet as much as he gets the sheet. Ashton is a starting to crawl and he can turn around really well. He is starting to try and sit up from his tummy. He too is holding his bottle. He doesn't like to nap. Everytime you lay him down he cries and he always wakes up early and cries. He would much rather be up and playing.

Keith has each taken them running in the jogging stroller (one at a time) and they enjoy it. We have also taken the walking in the normal triplet stroller. The love it. The stick their head over the side and watch everything.

One thing that has been hard for me having triplets is seeing 2 of them hit milestones and then one not. I start to worry that something is wrong w/ one...but I have to remind myself that babies hit milestones at different times. I did it with Ashton early one and now I am doing it w/ Keegan because he isn't trying to crawl. Hopefully he will soon.

Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers. It has been a pretty crazy 7 months but we are doing good!
