Milestones G'lore!

I guess one of the greatest advantages to having multiples is that they can all learn from each other. This may be a good thing, or a bad thing. Depends how you look at it. I think just as long as we put out a fire early, the others wont really have the inclination to imitate their sister. Sometimes, I cannot put out the fire fast enough and all hell breaks loose. For example, the other day, when I was feeding them their second breakfast (yes, they are part hobbit) which currently consists of chopped fruit and plain yogurt, Emilie started blowing raspberries with the yogurt in her mouth. Of course yogurt got all over her and the floor and me. Soon thereafter, Gabriella copied Emilie, then Madilyn joined in on the fun. . . . That's a fun cleanup

On the other hand, they can learn great things from each other. Yesterday, Emilie got enough courage to stand up on her own and take several steps!



Now this morning, Gabriella, who we thought would be by far the last to learn how to walk, tried standing and walking as well!!! She has always been the one to "follow" in the footsteps of one of her siblings in terms of milestones. Guess she thinks she needs to catch up.

Now I gotta capture Gabi in action. . . I was lucky enough to capture Emilie. :-)

The girls' first car!

As a proud father of three angels and poor as hell with triplets and a new business, I am selective in buying things for my girls. I want to make sure that they get the most use out of what I buy them and they would love playing or wearing what I bought them. So thanks to a Target gift card for the girls from one of my friends as a first birthday present, I put this gift card to good use and bought them their FIRST CAR!!!

Right now I only bought one car because as with all of their toys, there is really no need to have three of everything besides clothes. They can take turns for now and hopefully this way, they will learn faster how to share their things and at the same time, we save $$$! hahahaha. You know, gotta keep creative.

This car has great features...
-- great visibility for the driver
-- it's a HYBRID! = it has a removable floor panel so they can push on their own with their feet
-- factory standard plastic wheels
-- child safety lock on door
-- power steering with horn

I hope the girls like their ride. 16 years from now, I wont be buying them three cars. So their gonna have to learn to share one car.
