Well, another month has almost passed since my last blog update. We have had a great month with each baby continuing to reach various milestones and grow like crazy! As of now, all 3 babies can sit up on their own. Braden is definitely the most stable, but Kate and Brooks are doing great at sitting up on their own and playing as well. Braden and Brooks are also showing signs of crawling. I usually find them up on all 4's rocking back and forth in their crib when I go in to get them up from a nap. Braden is also doing this almost anytime you lie him on his tummy. They have all been scooting around and doing 360's for a while, but have yet to make true forward progress...I am anxiously awaiting the day they are mobile.
Barbara is working out great and has been a wonderful blessing in our life. The kids seem to love her and I feel very comfortable going to work knowing that the kids are in her hands.
I am still making my own baby food which is going well. It is actually much easier than I anticipated and pretty cost effective.
We met our new TEIS teacher, Stephanie, this week. She was very nice and had only positive comments to make about the kids--not that I was expecting her to be negative, but it is always nice to hear how well they are all doing.
We have been trying to venture out a bit more these days, but it is really so hard (and tiring) getting everybody (including myself) ready and loaded up in the vehicle. I know it is important for the kids to get out, so we (Travis and I) are doing our best at taking them places.
I have definitely been slacking this month on the pictures, so I will try to do better the next few weeks.

July 6, 2011
Wow-how this past month has flown by. I can't believe it has been over a month since I posted an update on these precious, ever-changing babies.
Personalities have definietely surfaced and these children are growing and changing every day.
Braden continues to be very "active" we will say. He loves to bounce and jump and has just started doing this thing where he will raise both his arms up like "touchdown" and make a hilarious face. He is teething and has 3 teeth right now. He is still my biggest baby and weighs approx 16lbs now.
Brooks continues to be my squirmy little wiggle worm. He can literally wiggle his way out of any swing/seat and then thinks it is funny when I freak out. He has a great laugh that melts my heart and is a smart little guy. He knows how to put on the charm and therefore has become slightly spoiled bc he is hard to put down--by everyone. I have heard many people refer to him as "their buddy" or "cuddle bug" bc he knows just how to snuggle up with you to make it near impossible to lay him down. He is also teething and has 2 teeth as of now. He is still my smallest, but seems so big at approx 14lbs.
Last, but not least...Kate ,AKA "sweetheart" to her daddy, and I can not think of a better name to describe this precious child. She is a sweetheart through and through. She rarely cries (other than when she is hungry) and loves to sleep. She will smile if you just look at her and loves to squeal. She also has a great laugh and is probably the easiest to get laughing right now. She is also teething (yes-that is 3 teething babies!) and has 2 teeth. She is my longest baby, but not quite as big as Braden, weighing approx 15lbs.
We are working on our daily schedule which seems to be going pretty well. For some reason, early evening is our hardest time of day--everyone gets fussy and is harder to console. All 3 are working on sitting up on their own. Each of them can do it, but Kate and Brooks are not quite as steady as Braden. We have not heard any news on our new TEIS teacher, but hopefully we will hear something in the next week or so.
Starting next week, Miss Barbara will begin keeping the babies in place of my sister in law Tara. Tara had a great opportunity open up at work that she had to take. We understand, but will miss having her watch the kiddos. Thankfully, Mrs Barbara was sent our way and I think will work out great. God continues to bless us more than we deserve! He is so good!
