Triple Play: 21 Months


How old?  21 Months. One and three quarters, What?!

Our weights?  estimates: S: 22 lbs  T: 23.5 lbs M: 23 lbs 
They are wearing 18 months clothes with the occasional larger 12 months and smaller 24 months.  They wear size 5.5, 6W, and 6 shoes.

Our sleeping patterns?  The girls normally have no problem going down for their nap and will sleep between 1.5 and 2.5 hours.  Sam normally wakes up first and hopefully I can get in there before she wakes up anyone else.

Night time sleep is alright.  They go to bed a little after 8 PM and wake up between 8-8:30.  Most nights one baby wakes up for cuddles.  Not so much Taylor, but Sam and Mallory are getting into some bad habits. 

 Our eating schedule?  The girls have breakfast at 8:30 AM, Lunch at noon, snack when they wake up from their nap (between 3-4), and dinner at 6.

 Our favorite foods?  Samantha:  All she wants are "Nunus" (Noodles AKA Mac n Cheese) or "Chee" (Cheese)  O, this girl loves cheese, bread, peanut butter sandwiches, and noodles.  We can't get her to eat much else but I'm trying.
Taylor:  She really likes raisins, crescent rolls (off of my plate), blackberries.  She will nibble anything off of your plate though.
Mallory:  She loves food.  She will eat any meat, veggie, or fruit.  She will sometimes eat bread or carbs, but definitely doesn't prefer them.

Our likes? Taylor is so in love with her grandparents.  If there is a grandparent around, Mom is like chopped liver.  I'm not allowed to put on her bib or even hand her the sippy cup, Nana or Meme must do it. She also loves to take care of her baby. 
Samantha is into lining up toys and keeping things "tidy".  You will find her closing all of the doors and picking up the dirty clothes.  When it is Clean Up time, she is such a good helper.  She will only use the bib with Monkeys on it so I have to make sure that one is clean every day.  And her favorite word is "No" ALL THE TIME.
Mallory likes the TV to be turned on but it doesn't keep her attention more than 2 minutes, she loves to learn, wear her hooded towel over her head, and see animals.

 Our dislikes?  When Mama has been gone for too long.  Meal time hasn't been very pleasent lately and being sick is also a bummer.  Mallory is absolutely terrified of elevators which makes her sisters scared also.

Our favorite games/toys?  "Ready, Set, Go!"  Then they race to Mommy (a Great way to tire them out), their new fisher price train with animals that moves (however Sam tells it "No" whenever it is moving and tries to stop it), playing outside, swinging, playing "Ahhh, Booom!" where they stand and fall down on the couch or their new PB chairs, pushing their shopping carts around.

Our milestones?  Mallory is beginning to identify letters and numbers, Sam is lining up toys, and Taylor is role playing with her baby.  Mallory is beginning to combine 2 words.  My favorite is "GO TIGERS!"  Taylor says "Hi Ryley" or "Hi Mama" etc and "I love you".  Sam is trying to repeat words you say to her. 

Things we do to make Mom and Dad smile?  They are communicating with each other more and more.  They are playing together (without needing Mommy as much) so I can get other things done.  They get so excited when Daddy gets home.  They are learning and growing faster than I can keep up.  Love these little goobers.

I love reading about your girls each month! My daughter was born just two days after yours and I love comparing all of their similarities. Keep it up, you are supermom! :)
