How old? 10 Months.
Our weights? (Estimates) S: 15 lbs T: 17 lbs M: 15 lbs 8 oz
The girls are still wearing 6 months clothes and Taylor sometimes needs 9 months. Jammies are all 9 months.
Our sleeping patterns? The girls nap at 10:30 and 2:30. The earlier nap is normally longer for them but it is always unpredictable with these kids. Sam is usually the first to fall asleep and the first to wake up. Mallory in the middle and Taylor falls asleep last and I sometimes have to wake her up at feeding time. Sometimes you lay them down and they fall right to sleep and other times I'm not so lucky. For instance, on April Fool's Day, they took turns screaming for an hour. I had Sam asleep and then Ryley barked in their room (thanks, dog) putting Sam and Taylor in to a screaming war. Once Sam was down again, Mallory began screaming (she was watching the other two cry so she must have been waiting her turn). Then it was back and forth between Taylor and Mallory's crib trying to get one of them to fall asleep. I was concentrating on Taylor and would go back to Mallory's crib, pull out her pacifier, and toss it in her crib where her head should be, so she would at least lay down. Finally, Taylor fell asleep and Mallory decided to scream louder, waking up Samantha again. Yay! Sam had just slept for 5 minutes and then another span of 20 minutes so she was going to be hard to get to sleep again. Finally Mallory calmed down and fell asleep and I was able to walk Sam around for a little while to get her to fall asleep. Sigh. Hard work but I got them to nap and that is always good. Nice joke girls.
Nights are still unpredictable. They have gotten easier the past month (Knock on wood) but we still haven't gotten a full night's sleep. At the beginning of the month, Taylor did well sleeping soundly for about 10 days and currently Mallory is sleeping through the night again. Samantha has slept through the night at random times. I can't wait until they all decide to do it on the same night. When they do wake up, we normally feed them and they fall right back asleep, which is an improvement from last month's midnight parties. It also seems like teething is still part of the problem.

Our eating schedule? This has evolved a little bit since the last update. They are waking a little earlier so the first bottle (6-7 oz) is between 7:30 and 8 AM. Around 8:30 or 9 they eat solids including oatmeal and pureed fruit. Then, after their nap, at noon they eat solids again and bottle immediately after. They are eating less from this bottle (2-5 oz). After the next nap, they drink a bottle (6-7 oz) and then solids around 5 or 5:30 PM consisting of pureed fruits and veggies. They also get a sippy cup at lunch and dinner with water or small amount of juice. At 7:30 they get their bedtime bottle (6-8 oz). Overall, they are beginning to like more foods. We began stage 3 the other day and they did NOT like the chicken and vegetables. Their facial expressions are pretty funny.
Our favorite foods? Oatmeal, Green Beans, Chicken & Apples, and Sweet Potatoes
Our favorite foods? Oatmeal, Green Beans, Chicken & Apples, and Sweet Potatoes
Our likes? Bath time, Running around in our walkers, Playing with Ryley, Being outside, Seeing new places
S: She loves to eat solids, Eskimo kisses, Doorway jumper, keeping up with her sisters, and playing with blocks.
T: She loves to explore and see new things. She is the best at the walker, going wherever she wants. Her sisters normally follow her. She loves her sippy cup and when I read to her. When she eats something she likes, she goes, "Mmm, mmm, mmm." and opens her mouth for more.
M: Mallory is beginning to imitate us but also her sisters. It is so cute. She likes her sippy cup and most solid foods. She is the most independent until Momma enters the room, then she cries for me. She loves to explore and be free to go where she wants.
Our dislikes? They all dislike Stage 3 foods and when I leave the room. They also hate putting on their jammies at night. This process reminds me of steer wrestling (I'm from Texas, y'all). They constantly flip on to their stomachs and try to crawl off the table. I have to pin them down and button them up as fast as possible. They may be upside down, standing up, or constantly rolling but I feel like I'm beginning to master this. Its frustrating yet hilarious.

S: Teething, falling down or not being able to get up where she wants to.
T: Teething and stage 3 chicken and veggies baby food. She thinks she can walk so she lets go of things and falls down which frustrates her. She is really upset when her Dad leaves the room after holding her when he gets home from work.
M: When I block off their room so they can't crawl into the hallway and getting her face wiped.

Our favorite games/toys? Walkers are the cool toy now. They race around the hallways playing bumper cars. They love to be free and crawl around. Ryley is their best bud and it is so adorable to watch them together. Their favorite toys are the standing play table and the ball popper.
Our milestones?
S: Three almost 4 teeth, placing blocks in to holes of a toy, pulled up in her crib, scooting.
T: Crawling, pulling up, saying "Ra ra" to Ryley, pointing, and clapping.
M: Imitating us and her sisters, Four teeth.
Things we do to make Mom and Dad smile? Make funny faces, learn something new, run in the walkers and bounce in to each other, laugh, and be totally adorable :)

I can't believe they are 10 months already. Time sure does fly!! They are still as adorable as ever!!
I just can't get enough of them!! They're so precious!! & Steer wrestling! I cracked up with that reference! It's true though... when babies hit that "on the move" stage they don't ever want to be held down! I can only imagine what it's like with the 3 of them in their walkers & Ryley running around with them!!
Your girls are so cute! I've been following your blog since you were on bed rest. My little one is the same age, so it's fun to see other little girls at the same age to see what they are doing!
They are adorable! That nap time fiasco on the first sounds horrible.
They are so cute! Happy 10 months!
