Fun Weekend

This is my 5 year anniversary weekend and first (kinda) Mothers Day. Yesterday, Grandma Lynn took the boys and Grandma Sally had Mia. Anthony and I had a nice outing to Fresno. I got to eat at one of my favorite places, Cheesecake Factory. Then it was a fun filled day of shopping. Anthony surprised me with an upgrade to my wedding band and a new diamond ring for my right hand. It has three diamonds to represent past, present and future. Also, a hidden duo meaning of Seth, Aiden and Emilia for Mother's Day. It was nice being out without the babies for the day. Of course, on the way home I was starting to miss them terribly, though.

Days going too fast

A lot seems to be changing fast lately, therefore, I will take a quick moment before trying to get some ZZZZZ's. Seth is the first baby to officially get teeth, he has his first two bottom front coming out as of yesterday. Not bad for being the little 4lb baby to start. Aiden officially rolled from his back to his front today. Mia still has no desire to roll over but has a killer back that she can arch like mad and legs she can kick for hours on end in her jumper. She and Aiden can both take binkies out of their mouth and put them back in. Emilia loves books, she actually looks at each page and waits for you to turn the page. She will look for the kitty when you say kitty. She prefers her fingers to chew on while the boys like their thumbs. Seth unfortunately has a bit of a temper and can scream like the best of them. At the same time he is so affectionate and has a smile that melts my heart. Aiden loves to laugh and laugh and laugh. They all three enjoyed their trip to Costco today to get wipes, diapers and formula.

Happy Birthday, Dad!

Happy Birthday, Dad. You have always believed in me and pushed me to do my best. Thank you!

Future Mustangs

I thought this was a cute pic of the babies. I don't even want to think about the cost of three in college at once. Ouch! Hopefully, there will be scholarships and of course, loans..lol. Go Mustangs! Who knows, maybe one will want to go to where their mommy went.

Yet another First Place

Sky's team won first in this weeks tourney again. Congrats, Skyler! Keep up the hard work. I had to move Seth away from the crowd cause it was upsetting him. He eventually fell asleep in my arms...ahhhh, such a mama's boy.

Out for the night

I try to keep them up a bit more at night but they still seem to fade out by 6:30pm. Aiden had almost 9oz and cereal last night and crashed. He still got up at around 3am ,though, for a little snack and then back to sleep. Mia woke up at 4am and Seth 1:15am. This is better than before but I still look forward to maybe only one or two feedings a night. Then hopefully, eventually, none.

Italian water ice

When it starts getting real warm, I start to miss Rosati's. The closest thing we have here is shaved hawaiian ice but it is not the same. Well, one day as my kiddo's tracked down the ice cream man, I decided to get something. I got a water ice and was so happy to see that it was ROSATI's!!! It isn't the fresh stuff, but it will do. I love that it says Clifton Heights on it.

Eating challenge

Today I tried to feed all three at the same time. It went as good as possible. Each day I seem to get a better idea here and there. I can tell that I will have to be more schedule oriented than other singleton moms may be. Do I feed one a bottle first, then switch to food? Then is it better to wait till the end and change all three's diapers? Unless of course, Seth has a blow out. Not sure why but he has the amazing ability to cover his whole back when he poops. I think it is because he has his daddy's butt (basically no butt). Thank god his dad does not do the same...lol. Mia was the most upset today during the feeding, until mommy slammed her head into the chandelier because I have the table moved out from under it. I had to move the table in order to get to all three highchairs. She had a good laugh at that. It is definitely easier when grandma is here to help, but I know I can't rely on that forever. Now the challenge is 1. Getting Aiden to stop looking outside and 2. Get Seth to stop trying to look at Winnie the Pooh above him. He just may have to sit in a different highchair.

Sweet Potato

Today we tried sweet potatoes for lunch and it was a success. All three of them enjoyed them. I am still unsure how their eating schedule will come about. I am just starting to get a nap schedule set. I did realise that feedings are about to get a lot messier and take more time. I currently have speckled orange all over my shirt. I forgot to wipe Seth's hands, but his face was sparkling clean. Therefore, tie died sweet potato shirt. When Seth was born, he was the last to come home because he was the last to get down eating without being tube fed. He has also been the last to get spoon feeding. When Seth learned to take a bottle, there was no stopping him. Obviously, the boy likes to eat. Well, I have to say watch out world, now the boy has learned to eat veggies. It is no shocker that his face was the cleanest. He would get mad I couldn't spoon it in quick enough. Typical Seth impatience or as I put it...passion.

Five Months Old

Today they are 5 months old. I can't believe how fast time is going by. It has been harder lately but I can see light at the end of the tunnel.
