So much to write and so little time

Our triplets are doing great.

Darcy: Darcy started out as out smallest child 2 pounds 14 ounces at birth down to 2 lbs 7 ounces before she began to get the hang of eating. She is now our best eater. She is focused and our most coordinated eater. She is really cute when she holds her 8 ounces of milk as the bottle looks too big for her little hands. Then she show off by swinging the bottle around with one hand. Darcy gives great hugs and mashes her head into your when you come to give her a kiss, always with an excited smile. Darcy was our first to crawl and is our most independent and adventurous child. unlike Bryce who likes making sure you are watching Darcy is fine doing around cheeking things out on her own. She is also now our first child to pull up. She loves being tickled.

Bryce: Bryce is funny funny funny. She tries to make people laugh. She is always checking out people's reaction to her antics. They really are antics as she does things just to get responses. She has a "fake" laugh, where she yells "AHHHHH". Bryce recently had her first bottom tooth come through (10 months), the last of our children to get their first teeth. Bryce crawls really fast and is always on the move whenever she she some thing that catches her eye. She caused us to remove a plant from the floor where it was living for 6 years. Bryce one day decided the leaves were low lying fruit ready to be picked and constantly went back to the plant for more...Bryce is also a big fan of her bibs and anyone else's bib. Bibs are the best toy in the house. She prefers her bib to food. She is adept at taking off her bib as well as that of her brother and sister. Bryce is also funny in that she becomes semi paralyze when she receives soft touches. She freezes in whatever position she is in as if to fully enjoy the sensation.

Cooper: Cooper is a sweetie. People are enamoured with his long thick eyelashes, mostly the envious women. Cooper is now rocking back and forth on his knees, trying to keep up with his mobile sisters. Cooper loves smashing toys against the floor and loves watching a ball twist its way down the spiral. Cooper is a tough eater - he shuts his mouth when he is done eating and is hard to get him to change his mind once he feels he has had enough. Cooper is unique in that he never puts any toys in his mouth.

All our kids love when books are read to them. their eyes fixate and the room becomes silent. They also love when they hear live singing especially Twinkle Twinkle and the ABC's the two songs Audrey and I know.
