Wow! Cant believe our babies turned 5 months old this week! They are doing so well and God continues to bless us over and over and over again!
We had the 5 month check up this week. All babies had a great appointment and are closing the gap on the weight difference between them and their peers. Braden is the biggest weighing in at 12lbs2oz (and feels so heavy!), Kate weighs 11lbs 2oz and Brooks is catching up weighing 10lbs 2oz. Dr Eastham was very pleased with Brooks "catch up growth" since his last visit and had no concerns for any of them at this time.
They have all outgrown the newborn clothes and are now in 3-6 mo clothes--I feel like everytime I turn around they have outgrown another outfit!
We are still waiting on the 4 mo professional pics, but I hope to see them soon--maybe even later today.
Easter is Sunday, so there will be plenty of new pics coming soon! We are looking forward to getting the babies out for their first holiday with the WHOLE family!

Wow--I have really been slacking on my post updates! Cant believe it has been 3 weeks since my last post-time flies when you are having fun (with triplets)!
Some of the more exciting news over the past couple of weeks:
1) The Morris family goes to church- last week we ventured out for the first time on Sunday morning to all go to church together. It was a busy morning, but overall went well. We actually made it on time and did not have any fights getting there :)
2) 4 month old professional pics--last week we (my mom, Tara Brown and myself) went to Franklin to have professional pics made of the babies. Due to their NICU stay and prematurity, these were actually the first professional pics we have been able to have made of the babies. I was thankful to have the help of my mom and Tara--it would have been crazy trying to get pics without their help! Sara Gibbs took the pictures which I think will turn out very well. I hope to have the proofs by the end of this week.
3) TEIS teacher, Christy, made her first visit with the babies. This visit went very well and was very informative for me. She gave me tips on using black and white pics, continuing with classical music and doing tummy time FIVE times a day. We have been doing tummy time, but only a couple times a day (mostly bc they dont really like it). We are also working on getting them to hold/manipulate objects and work on head control by sitting in Bumbo seats.
4) The BIGGEST news for Travis and I: Thursday night (4/7/11) the babies slept from 11:00PM until 6:20AM!!! Brooks woke up first at 6:20, then I actually had to wake up Kate and Braden at 7AM to feed them. They made it again all night last night, so hopefully, we will be able to drop the middle of the night feedings and all sleep a little more every night!
I think that is pretty much all for now. We are slowly settling into a nice little routine which I absolutely love!
