This is Not a Still Life

How do you set a default font on this program?!!? I must be getting older, I chose a "larger" font.

The kids, our triplets, are doing great. now 15 months old.

We are all standing and Darcy and Cooper have taken a few steps. Bryce likes to attract attention for her standing but her legs are all over the place when we walk with her, (pretty hilarious). I am feeling saddened by the not so sudden evolution to walking but shocked that the crawling stage is almost over. I mean as soon as the walking starts in earnest the crawling will be over and crawling is so adorable. Our kids have really picked up a lot of speed with their crawling - Bryce's strategy - head down (to decrease wind resistance) and straight ahead.

We are now 15 months and our children are changing quickly. There is new competition between them for toys and for attention from us. Darcy was the first to exhibit these tendencies. Darcy likes to squeeze in beside Audrey irrespective of anyone or thing that is in the spot she wants to occupy. Darcy also likes sitting on chairs, and when a new toy desk was brought into the play room and Bryce happened to be in the seat, Darcy backed her way into Bryce's lap to gain access to the seat. Darcy studies people's movements and acts methodically. She clearly says, "baby", one of her first words. Darcy has beautiful wavy curly hair and loves when people "do" her hair and likes to wear a beret.

We are convinced Bryce received extra copies of the "funny" genes. Everything she does is uniquely Bryce and is super funny. Audrey even mentions that the fact she only has two upper teeth and two lower teeth is funny and cute. She likes to mimic our actions, but when she does them she makes them funny. Bryce plays Peek-a-boo her own style. She covers one eye and makes sure she can see you with the other. Bryce blows kisses sometimes hitting herself in the forehead in the process. Bryce loves looking for things under the bed, commando style. Bryce is extremely coordinated and is very gentle.

Cooper - our son - is the tallest but weighs the least, a pound less than his nearly 20 pound sisters, yet his grip is surprisingly strong. Cooper loves balls and loves to play chase. He has an infectious laugh. Cooper has become a finicky eater, at least at dinner. He loves cheese - our fall back food. Cooper still adores stuffed animals particularly his stuffed blue cow. He has also adopted Bryce's yellow cow. For some reason he is soothed by sucking on the cow's ears. Cooper mimics the sound of a car engine when he plays with a car.
