wow…finally got a chance to drop a quick note on the babies!

we got through all our December doctor appointments and already got their RSV shots for January…I made it through my pre-spring one week class and it went pretty well - thank you to everyone that offered help during that time…Christi and I appreciate it!

the babies are doing new things all the time now…it seems that they’re going through growth spurts every other day!

Paul is now doing the full range of baby talk (baa, maa, daa…) and he loves to hear himself sing. He holds his bottle by himself now. He is crawling…but strangely enough, only on his back. When we put him on his belly to move he just wiggles and puts his arms out looking like he’s skydiving! Paul is big on grabbing anything that’s in his reach - hair, shirts, Jake, etc. He’s probably the best/cleanest eater of the trio. He’s back to having trouble sleeping through the night, but hopefully it will just be a short phase…

Ella is sleeping well and getting close to sitting up on her own. She’s not eating her baby food very well - she takes incredibly small bites and sometimes won’t finish…that must be why she’s still tiny compared to her brothers! Ella is the most interested in Jake - he makes her laugh whenever he goes trotting by…she’s also grabbed a few clumps of his fur! She’s definitely a happy baby - she can always dish out a big smile to make a rough day go a little bit smoother.

Logan is an absolute monkey! He loves to climb and scream and laugh and eat. He is the most eager to get his bottle or get the spoonful of whatever is being fed at the time. He’s been finding his bink and putting it in his mouth wherever it is. Logan is really strong - he pulls himself up wherever he gets the chance and loves to stand. We’re trying to force the sitting up first, but it seems like he’s going to be walking before he sits! He’s also trying to hold his bottle - probably in the next couple days…

I’ll try and give some more info before a month next time!
