I honestly can't believe it -- on Friday, the triplets were officially one month old.  I know time passes quickly after you've had a baby (I still feel like Owen should be only about 6 months old) but this month as flown by.   Everyone continues to do great.  All the babies are gaining weight well -- yesterday Mason weighed 6lbs!!! Grant wasn't too far behind at 5lbs 14oz and Mayleah continues to be the smallest at 5lbs 9oz.  They're getting big and starting to almost look like chubby newborns. Owen is continuing to get used to his new siblings.  He seems a little more interested in them and will give them all kisses goodnight when he goes up to bed.  Last weekend we were successful at getting all 4 of them together for a few pictures, but I didn't get one picture were everyone was happy.  Hopefully that isn't a sign of things to come!  

We are getting settled into a routine of feeding and changing the babies.  They still sleep the majority of the time, but yesterday they were all awake for about 2 hours in the afternoon. We're welcoming visitors at home so if you'd like to come over for a visit, please call (call back a bit later if we don't answer -- I often don't remember to return phone calls until close to midnight and I figure most of you aren't up at that time!) and we can work out a time -- be forewarned, you'll likely be put to work when you come ;o).  We ask that you hold off on visiting if you or anyone in your house is or has been sick recently and that no school-aged children (or children in daycare) come to visit for a while yet -- we are still in RSV season and need to take extra precautions since the triplets are preemies.   

Here are some pictures from the last week.
