the blog is giving me fits! i'll fill you in on the baptism later....for now just enjoy the cute pictures! but i wanted to let you know the even bigger news!
AVERY HAS A TOOTH! mom found it yesterday while she was biting on her finger!

what a wonderful day!

Big ole' babies!

We had a fun trip to the pumpkin patch on Wednesday! (at least we did until Zach face planted in the dirt! poor guy!) It was a little too sunny and windy for the babies to be completely happy...so that's why they have squinty eyes =) but it was a beautiful day!

We went to the dr. yesterday for their 6 month check up....and they are doing AWESOME! Nurse Mary said they have been doing a lot of catch up lately in size...especially Colby! We did a developmental evaluation (remember a lot of their development will be based on their adjusted age of 4 months instead of actual age of 6 months)Well....they were doing everything a 4 month old should be doing....most of what a 6 month old should be doing and some things beyond that too!! It was a great visit....until their 4 shots at the end....we were all crying. =(

Here are the weight updates....and just so you don't have to look back, at birth, 6 months ago,

Avery was 3lbs 6oz...and is now 14lbs 7oz!

Colby was 3lbs 11oz....and is now 17lbs 9oz!!!!!

Zach was 3lbs 4oz....and is now 15lbs 10oz!!

and just for comparisons sake.... at birth combined they were 10 1/2 lbs of baby! Now they are almost 50 pounds of baby!!! Amazing!

My babies are 6 months old!!!!!!!

WoooOOOO-WOOOOT! Hey You! Over Here!


Now that i've got your attention....My babies are 6 months old!!!!!!! Here they are with their 1/2 birthday cake (sent from their Aunt Kristie (my awesome friend!) in South Carolina) and 1/2 candle!

To start the day the babies and I hung out and ate cake...well at least i did! Then we got ready for our Tri State Multiples Fall Festival! We were originally going to be goldilocks and the three bears....and while they looked ADORABLE in their costumes, they were very big on them, very hot, and very hard to get on and off! Good thing i tried them on first huh?! ;)

So we went to the back up option....the 3 little bees....with a king and queen bee watching over their hive!

And i know this is going to be hard to believe...but we won the cutest babies contest!!! I can't imagine why!!

Here's the King Bee with his baby Bees...

And the Queen Bee with her baby bees...

We had so much fun hanging out with all of the other multiples families! Imagine....about 35 families....and of those....115 kids!! These events will be even more fun when they are a little older and can actually play...instead of eat through the trick-or-treating...

but at least mommy is good at multi-tasking!!

The baby bees took naps on the way home, woke up to eat some banana-rice cereal and peas and then went to bed (and the boys slept from 11:30p until 10a!!....don't be too jealous though, the little princess was up at 4, 8, and 11).

Josh and I still look at each other and say 'holy cow...we have 3 babies'...and usually add on '3 perfect, adorable, healthy babies that we can't imagine life without'.

how in the world is it october already?

Where is the time going?

How are my babies so cute?

How are my babies so BIG?

How can they possibly be 6 months old?

How did 6 months ago I deliver these sweet sweet babies...and in 6 months from now these sweet sweet babies will be 1 year old?

How do I spend all day and all night with them and never get tired of staring at them and watching all the cute things they do?

Will time ever slow down so I don't feel like i'm in a whirlwind as they get bigger and cuter every day?

While i don't have the answers to any of these questions....here's our 6 month update...

They are all just adorable and do the cutest things every day. Let's start with Zach....he is mr. roly poly! Now whenever we lay him down on his back, it's only seconds until he has rolled onto his belly. He wiggles around and tries to scoot himself across the room! He LOVES attention and is just a very sweet natured baby boy. Colby is just big and strong and loves to stand up. He thinks he's big stuff when you hold him up on his feet! He's also the chatty one. He will talk and talk and talk....even in the middle of drinking his bottle. He is so smiley and pretty much is happy unless he's hungry or tired. Life is good for the big man! Avery is a very happy little lady....no more sissy fussy pants! She loves to lay on the floor and play with her toys on the play mat....and by play i mean she loves to pull on the frog that plays music and chew on the rings and anything else that will reach her mouth...and pull on her brother's ears! She also scoots herself all over the place....except while she's on her back! Every morning i go in to get her out of her crib and she has scooted herself all the way up to the other end of the crib! All 3 love to chew on their hands and have more slobber than they know what to do with! We go to the dr. on 10/22 for their 6 month check up....will let you know updated weights then...our predictions A-14lbs, Z-15lbs, C-17lbs...we'll se how close we are!
They love to eat! Especially Colby! Their favorite foods are:Zach-sweet potatoes, Colby-pears, Avery-peaches. Their least favorite foods: Bananas, Peas, and Green Beans. (We will have to work on the veggies!) We brought their new table upstairs...they aren't quite ready to sit in it yet....but definitely long enough for some cute pictures!
