Triple Play: 13 Months

How old?  13 Months.
 
Our weights? estimates S: 16 lbs 12 oz  T: 19ish lbs M: 18ish lbs
They wear 9 months size clothes.  Jammies are 9 months but soon we will be using the 12 months.

Our sleeping patterns?  2 naps at 10:30 and 2:30.  We finally got the hang of these (just in time for us to go down to 1 nap soon).

Nights... well, I've decided there is always a reason your baby isn't sleeping through the night... teething, reaching a milestone, their naps were off, gas, you name it.  And for us, one baby sleeps well 2-3 nights, then has a bad night (or 3).  So, it means most nights are not good.  The girls are getting better at sleeping through each other's screaming so we are letting them cry more in the middle of the night.  It doesn't mean I don't wake up though.  And, a lot of times, we just feed them to get them back to bed fast because we are tired.  I know they don't need to be fed in the middle of the night anymore but sometimes its our last hope of getting some sleep.

 Our eating schedule?  The girls are now getting sippy cups of milk for their 8 AM and 2 PM feedings.  Mallory and Sam are still on breast milk (looks like we are in the clear for allergies, but I still need to introduce more dairy in my diet before we transition) and Taylor is drinking whole cow's milk.  We've only done the sippy cups for about a week and they aren't fans.  They only take a few swigs and that's it.  At 8 PM they still get a bottle and they suck it down for the most part.

They get breakfast at 8 AM, lunch at 12 PM, a small snack at 2 PM, and dinner around 5:15 PM.  They eat a lot of finger foods and then we finish up with baby food still.  Sam is very picky and still prefers baby food and the other two want the baby food when I get it out.

 Our favorite foods? Sam will only eat cantaloupe, hot dogs, and bananas when it comes to finger foods.  Mallory loves peas, hot dogs, eggs, cantaloupe, bananas, and chicken.  Taylor likes hot dogs, chicken, avocados, bananas, and cantaloupe.
 
Our likes? Our new Little Gym class, walkers, reading books, being free, going for walks, and giving each other hugs and kisses(the cutest thing ever).
 
S: Sam loves to shake her head back and forth.  I think its her way of dancing.  You can always find her in the ball pit in the play area.  She loves going in tunnels, behind doors, and in closets.  She barks when Ryley barks.

T:  Taylor loves to walk around carrying things.  She loves her Daddy and when he is around, she wants him.  She likes to be tickled and play Peek-a-Boo.

M:  Mallory is becoming more and more independent.  She likes to keep busy in the play area.  She loves books.  She knows where they are in every room and always points and says, "Bahk"  She wants you to read a book over and over again.

 Our dislikes?  When we are tired, bored, or hungry.

S: When you change her diaper.  Something about lying down on her back just makes her angry, its like she would rather keep that poop in her diaper.  Also, she really doesn't like to be left in her crib if she doesn't go to sleep immediately.  She hates when I try to make her eat new foods.

T: Taylor has become a little possessive over whatever she is holding at the time.  It could be a new toy, dish cloth, or clean diaper.  If you take it away, she's not happy.

M: I have to say that Mallory has been less dramatic than she used to be.  She gets upset if she gets hurt or if she's really tired.

Our favorite games/toys?  Peek-a-boo, reading books, forward rolls, walkers, and balls.
 
Our milestones? 

S:  Says "Ba" for ball and barks with Ryley.
  T: Walks pretty good.
  M: Walking better, eats lots of different finger foods, says "Bahk" for book.

Things we do to make Mom and Dad smile?  When they play well together, watching them experience new things, and snuggling.

I can't even imagine trying to take pictures of 3!! I have trouble keeping my one 9 month old sitting still long enough to not nose dive off the chair or eat the monthly stickers.
