Hello all! It has been a few weeks. The little ones and their parents all enjoyed the triplet's first Christmas. Kristy loaded some new pictures on the site last night, so be sure to check them out. The kids got lots of great presents. We got the kiddos a choo-choo wagon (see the picture with the multicolored wagon). They seem to love it. Collin enjoys going down a step in the wagon. He thinks it is hilarious. Bailey prefers a smooth ride. We were able to ride around the house and even get outside the day after Christmas for a ride through the neighborhood. The kids got lots of toys from their grandma/grandpa and their aunts/uncles. Thanks to all for the cool new toys. Aunt Sharon was able to help us paint our play room and get it ready for new toys.
Other than a runny nose or two, the kids have been pretty healthy this winter season. Praise the Lord! Life is so much easier when they aren't all sick. It's hard to believe, but they are almost 1 year old. Time has been flying by!
Anniston is walking around everywhere. She is a climber. We can't keep her off of the hearth (where she can access the Christmas tree, ottoman, etc). Collin is starting to take some steps on his own. He also does really well with the walk-behind toy. He can turn it anywhere he wants to go. Bailey can stand on her own and has been seen taking a step here or there, but she will do things in her own time (like normal for her). Anniston will give you "five" if you ask and hold your hand up. She will also sometimes clap her hands if you ask her to. Bailey is the best sound maker. She clearly can say mama or dada (and almost any other combination of consonants with the letter a). Collin and Anniston are talking too. We've found that Collin likes to get loud before bedtime--lots of loud incoherent sounds. Anniston prefers the word baba. They are all so different and sweet. It is neat to see three completely different kids interacting with each other. They often times think one (or both) of the others are hilarious. It is fun to hear them laugh!
Thanks for checking on us! We are staying really busy. We hope you all had a merry Christmas and that you have a happy new year!

WALKING!!!!!!!
Well, it is bittersweet but our little Anniston is walking. She has been building up for the past week or so and now she gets to the edge of things and just keeps walking. I almost cried when I saw her this evening and couldn't wait to tell Daddy when he got home from work. I guess we weren't too shocked because Anniston is just our crazy, energetic, spunky girl. She has been doing one thing and then on to the next. She has been an amazing child to watch. To think she was a preemie, who would have thought?
The kiddos are all doing great. They are feeling well. They had some congestion for a few weeks and are much better now. They play a lot together. I will be sitting in the living room and I will hear giggles and thumps all through the hallway. It is too sweet. They love playing together. They also have their time to themselves. Collin is just content to play by himself if the other two aren't in the room but if they are then he thinks that is great too. Bailey has to have her time to herself. She sometimes likes it when she can just play with something and not have it taken away. Anniston is a mommy's girl and loves to tug on my pant legs. Sometimes she is okay if I am just in the same room and their are some times when she will venture out with one or both of the others and play without me being there.
We have been enjoying the Christmas season. I love decorating and shopping (last year I had to shop on-line). The babies have enjoyed the Christmas tree and the merry-go-round their Great Grandma Thompson gave them. They have also enjoyed a stuffed snowman I have at the fireplace. They love to chew on it and have managed to bite off one of the buttons. Imagine that. We can't wait to see them opening up their presents on Christmas. We have decided they will like the boxes and paper much better this year, however, I think once the present is opened they will enjoy what is inside. They love their toys.
We hope you all are having a wonderful Christmas season. Thanks for all of your continued prayers and encouragement over the past several months.
