Our nights are becoming even more peaceful. The babies are sleeping well into the night after their rice cereal in their bottles at the 9pm feed. They have slept as late as 6am. Woohoo!:-) They are also good nappers so I am able to do some relaxing myself or get things done around the house. How did we luck out with 3 great sleepers.
Good news also! This is a first. Collin is now taking his rice cereal with a spoon. I decided on Friday night that I would try him out because we would try them with a spoon of cereal before we put it in their bottles and Collin seemed like he was ready. He ate it like a pro. I may try Anniston tonight. Bailey doesn't seem ready yet. We'll keep trying but not in a hurry. She doesn't even seem to know their is anything in her mouth. She just isn't use to not getting food through a nipple I guess. She will do it when she is ready and we are just fine with that.
We continue to take them on walks. They love the outdoors. We did take them swimming like I mentioned in the earlier blog. They loved it. Anniston could probably float if you would let her. She is so relaxed in the water. Bailey is okay with the water. She just likes to be held close although she isn't scared. Bailey is always that way. Collin seemed to do fine. He just had to figure out what was going on but it didn't seem to bother him at all. They love their baths so I wasn't shocked when they enjoyed the pool. It was a heated pool so that was a plus also. We will probably make it to the pool a little more often as people are available to help us out.
The babies are continuing to make cooing sounds. Collin is more than the girls but they have their times too. They are smiling a ton still and just showing those little personalities. Collin has now rolled from tummy to back several times. We put him in his crib for his nap and he sometimes immediately rolls over. He pulls himself up with his arms and flops to his side and rolls to his back. It is pretty funny. I will have to videotape it. It almost seems when you are watching them, they don't seem to perform. I'll see what I can do. Anniston continues to rollover sometimes also. She performed for the doctor the other day. The doctor put her on her tummy and Anniston followed the doctors hand motions and she rolled over on her back (the doctor was expecting her to do that). They are also noticing each other more and more. They just lay or sit and stare at each other. That is great to see. They know who their mommy and daddy is. You can tell. They will let anyone hold them though. They love to be held and talked to.
I plan to update the pictures so you will have to check them out. We plan to get their pictures taken again here soon. We can't wait because we know they will know a little more of what is going on. They all seem to be looking at the camera more.
Thanks so much for the prayers and encouragement. We definitely feel them through it all. It can be trying sometimes but overall we cannot complain at all. God gave them to Jason & I for a reason and we thank him for our precious little ones every day. We love them so much and we know that they also are comforted in knowing that we do.
