Going Bananas

Playing dress up 

Well I think the honeymoon is officially over. The triplets have been so laid back and easy going...and really still are, but they are definitely getting a little personality. They have become a little more vocal as they hit 6 weeks old. I know this is how babies communicate, and they definitely can communicate that they are hungry! Yesterday, Harper was covering up his ears as it approached lunch time! They really like to eat. At five and half weeks Hampton weighed 7 pounds 2.5 ounces, Hogan 6 pounds 15.5 ounces, and Hudson 8 pounds 2 ounces!! Hudson has taken the lead and is growing so fast. He has some chubby cheeks!!

We haven't dropped a feeding yet, but we are no longer setting our alarm for the night time feedings. Hallelujah!! Last night, we fed them at 11, 2:30, and 6:30. So it's getting better for mama. We also moved them into our bathroom while we slept. It was so nice to have some quiet sleep, three cooing babies is a choir at night!!

Yes, the honeymoon is over!

I thought I would be obsessed with making sure the triplet's clothes match. I mean isn't that one of the most fun parts of having twins/triplets? Well it is such a task, they start out matching on the mornings that we have night time help and then by the end of the day, some one has soaked, pooped, or spit up on their outfit, so no matches. Hampton is known as the "Mad-pee-er," lovingly named by our night nanny. He pees on you just about every time you change his diaper!! We are going to start buying clothes in sets of 4. One for Hogan, one for Hudson, and TWO for Hampton!! Hopefully I will start dressing them each morning, but to be honest after I nurse them in the morning. I just want my coffee.

Hampton, Hudson, and Hogan....in coordinating outfits!!

Harper is out of school this week so we made time to do some special things. He loves cooking so we went to the store and he picked out banana pops. I loved to make these with my mom when I was a little girl.  I call Harper "Snack attack" because he is always wanting a snack....an unhealthy snack. He has a sweet tooth just like me!!
