Intro.


Kris and Dave met 19 years ago while Kris was in college and Dave was on his first of several enlistments in the Navy. We have 4 beautiful kids. Lucas is 16 and he is the best big brother ever! He loves his brothers and sister. He has been waiting a very long time to be the "big brother".

William, Logan and Jessica were born Oct.25 2007 at 33 weeks and 5 days! They only spent 10 days in the NICU and came home on their big brother's birthday- Nov. 5 !! This blog will be about the ins and outs of our crazy life.

8 Months Old !

The trio is 8 months old today! YEAH!! I truly can't believe how the
time is flying by. Seems like we were traveling to the NICU just yesterday!



Logan has no teeth yet,but he is drooling like a madman! He still only has peach fuzz for hair, weighs in at about 16 pounds and has started commando crawling all over. He holds his own bottles and the boy loves to eat. He always has his mouth wide open for food and kicks his feet whenever the spoon is coming his way! He is also doing well sitting up by himself. Now we are working on getting from the floor to sitting all by himself. He has also been trying to get the regular crawl down. He is working hard and gets frustrated and whinny. He loves to talk to anyone who will listen or to no one at all. He has the best wide mouth smile and the twinkle in his eyes when he does it -- priceless!




Will has a good bit of hair- a light blond and two teeth which came thru in one weekend! He is also commando crawling and rolling everywhere. He weighs about 15 pounds. Will is also a good sitter when placed and is also working hard on getting to the position all by himself. Like Logan, Will is a great eater. He has been holding his bottle for a while and now loves to hold a spoon while eating. Boy can he make a mess! His tray is almost always the dirtiest. He is our little inquisitive guy. When given a new toy he spends a great deal of time just looking it over and trying to figure it out -- priceless!




Jessica has some very cute light brown hair. She just cut her second tooth the other day and can sit by herself the best. She weighs just a tad over 13 pounds. She
has no desire to crawl yet. She will stay in her sit for a long time and the boys always seem to leave toys nearby so no need to move! LOL Just like her brothers this girl can eat! We go through about 7 to 8 jars of food a day! She has started to master the pincer grasp and loves eating her Gerber Puffs. She has been holding her bottles for a long time as well. Her nickname is "demanding diva" and it really suits her. She definitely lets you know when she is unhappy or wants something. However, with the boys all over the place she usually ends up losing her toys and getting used as a prop for the boys to push off of and she is not ok with that! That being said she wakes up happy and every morning her smile just melts our hearts - priceless!

I can't believe how far they have come from when they were born. They continue to amaze me everyday and I am truly grateful that we have been given this opportunity by God to raise these children. Some days are tough I won't lie. It can be exhausting. However, I think that we just do the best we can and know that they are only this little for a short period of time so we better enjoy it as best we can!

Congratulations! I found your blog from a comment you left on another triplet momma's. Your family is beautiful. The time definitely goes fast and the first year is the hardest by far. Mine are almost 2 and while we never stop moving, it is easier than that first year. Enjoy this time!
