William Dudley - 2 years old!

Now it's William's turn! Just look at that smile - He's such a cutie!

Will is the oldest triplet - by a whole two minutes. LOL! He has maintained his nickname of The Snuggler. He loves to be held and cuddled. I am so glad that I at least have one cuddler!

Will is the best sleeper and goes for bed and naps with no trouble. He does have some very mild sensory stuff that he gets therapy for. The biggest problem we have right now is him stuffing, and then spitting out a lot of what he eats! It is very frustrating to me, but we are working thru it! He is also getting physical therapy to "tweak" some muscles and to build strength.

Will is also doing a lot of sign and lots for jargoning, but only a few words. It is very funny to hear him try to pronounce really hard words like triangles and pumpkins when he won't even say milk! He is always trying hard though and I love his determination.

Will does not like it when Jess or Logan take his stuff or get in his personal bubble space. He will sometimes have a meltdown if you ask him to do something he does not like, or if you try to help him when he wants to do it himself.

Like his brother and sister, he loves to read books and you will often find him by himself reading a book! He lets Jess and Logan fight for alpha spot. He enjoys watching them first, before deciding if he is going to join in on the fun, by lately I have watched him enjoy playing alone.

The big announcement with Will is that he will be starting school on Monday!! He will be going once a week to a toddler playgroup from 9-12:30. Logan and Jess will join him late Jan/early Feb when more spots open up, but their therapist thought that Will should go first. It is a class of only 8 kids and 4 teachers. My kids will make up 1/3 of the class come winter! lol!

I'll close for now with random pics taken throughout this last year!

Logan Dudley - 2 years old!

Today is all about Logan!

He maybe the middle triplet, but he is the tallest and strongest. He is my best eater and a great sleeper! He does not have lots of words yet, but he learns new ones everyday and does lots of sign. He has a great laugh, but you sometimes have to work really hard to get to hear it. Logan may be the biggest, but he is also the most shy around people. It takes him a while to warm up, but once he does - look out!

He is our rough and tumble guy - loves to climb, run and can even do somersaults! He and Jess are still trying to figure out who's in charge - he usually lets Jess win!

Logan still has some OT issues- he sees a therapist twice a month and will also be getting PT a few times a week to "tweak" his trunk mucles a little. He also gets speech therapty twice a month and he is improving every day!

Logan loves bubble baths, reading and coloring. He is not showing any signs for potty training, but that's ok with me for now I want to focus on Jess. He loves to play soccer and will chase after any ball you throw.

Logan is such a great little kid - I just love him to bits!

I could write tons more I am sure, but I know the pics are what you are waiting for so I'll close for now and leave you with these -

Jessica Dudley - 2 years old!

I looked back and last year I did the triplet's individual posts in birth order, so this year I am going in reverse and that means Jess goes first! They all have their 2 year checkup on Tuesday Oct 27th so I will have the latest stats then but until then -

Jess is just such a great little lady! She has learned soo much this year. She has kept her nickname - Diva and never forgets to let her brothers know who is boss. Her meltdowns are stuff legends are made of! She has definitely entered "the terrible twos"! LOL!

Jessica is still very tiny. She just broke 20 pounds last week! That puts her at the 0% mark on the weight charts. We have seen a specialist, but there seems to be no real problem. She is just going to be our pint size princess! She is the neatest eater and uses her forks and spoons the best. She never eats lots however and we are constantly trying to get calories into her. The specialist seemed to think that is her main issue - not enough intake for how busy and active she is.

Jessica's speech has really blossomed the last few months and she is by far the best talker of the trio. She has many words, but her two favorite phrases lately are : I done and I do it.

She has become little miss independent and does not want help with anything! That includes getting dressed - socks and shoes included, and also stuff like buckling her seatbelt. She hates it when we are rushed and have to help her get it done faster.

She has recently started going potty and after the birthday excitement winds down, I think we may start to officially train her! I was in no hurry, but she is showing signs of readiness and I don't want to miss the opportunity.

She loves to color and read books and bother her brothers. She can be very gentle at times, especially with her baby doll. She sleeps with the doll and her silkie and they pretty much goes everywhere she does. She also has a tough side and can fight her brothers if she wants something they have.

She has her daddy wrapped around her tiny finger - and he would not have it any other way!

I am sure I am forgetting lots, but these were the main things over the past year that stick out in my mind. Tomorrrow is Logan's post but for now I want to close with lots of pics taken throughout the year! Enjoy!
