We have been tremendously busy around the Seelye house in the last 2 weeks or so! We took Savannah to Sandy Lake Park for the first time for a "Savannah Special Saturday" with just mommy and daddy while Gram and Pop kept the babies. We had a blast! She even rode the Tilt-a-Whirl without crying! She is so brave! She rode everything she was tall enough to ride plus ponies, played skee ball, and rode the choo-choo twice. The weather was beautiful and we had a wonderful time just the three of us again! The babies started cereal last week--Cameron didn't like it the first time, Parker loved it, and Katelyn just didn't get the concept of opening her mouth and getting food in it--she chomped the spoon and blew bubbled instead! We love, love, love the triple feeding table. Now all the babies are eating cereal twice a day and loving it. They also started 3 bottle feeds today and 2 distinct naps and we'll see how that goes. They will start vegetables next week! Parker also got his first tooth today! We are so proud of our boy! It is on the bottom front left. We so wanted Parker to be the first at something and sure enough...he did it on teeth! Way to go Parker Poo! The babies also took their first bath one at a time in the sink in their bath seat today. No one smiles, but no one cried either. We still need one more seat, and then we'll do it all together in the big bath tub. We will post a few pics but will also send a slideshow since we have so many! Life has been crazy busy around here with lots of doctor's appointments, changes, church activities, school, etc., but we're taking it one day at a time.

Savannah's Very 1st Rangers Game!!!

Gram and Savannah

Savannah's favorite silly face!

Savannah with her pink glove...now if we could only get her to put it on!!!!!

Daddy, mommy, and Savannah....boy, does mommy look tired!!!!!

Hooray for the Rangers!

Savannah got to go to her very first Texas Rangers game and first professional game of any kind on Monday night. She went with Gram and mommy and daddy while Pop stayed back to keep the trips! Savannah did awesome and had a great time eating nachos and peanuts and smiling and waving to the Oakland A's players and Omar Vizquel playing 3rd base. We didn't get any balls but we loved the view from the first row behind the visitor's dugout. It was awesome! It was mommy and daddy's first and only Rangers game of the season. Savannah went potty 4 times, got a new pink and white Rangers jersey, and even ran into a hot dog cart because she wasn't watching where she was going! All is well though! I was very pleasantly surprised at how well Savannah did at the game. Maybe she will be my little softball girl after all! Enjoy a few pics!

Trips are 6 Months Old Today!

Not too happy!

Don't you love the bow???? This was Savannah's outfit!

A perfect milk gotee!!! Cameron, of course!

I can't believe the babies are 6 months old today! Where has the time gone? In some ways it has gone by so slowly but in other ways, way too quickly! I'm so glad that I had Savannah as a singleton before the triplets so I had some experience and also so I could enjoy the infant stage. I do love my babies and have enjoyed many precious moments but most of the time is spent doing chores and things in assembly lines! We went to the doctor today, and he was very pleased with all of them and their growth. They are actually all on the term baby growth curve...wow! We are going to begin rice cereal tomorrow. They got lots of shots today along with the flu shot. Savannah and mommy also got flu shots today as well. Cameron still continues to be in the lead, but just barely over little Miss Piggy, at 15 lbs. 1 oz. 10th % tile, Parker is 14 lbs. 7 oz., 5th % tile, and Katelyn is 14 lbs., 12 oz, 25th %tile. Her appetite has increased, and the boys have decreased, especially Parker's. I am hoping the rice cereal will help their feeding issues and also their reflux. We would so love to get them off of their medication for that soon. Enjoy a few recent pics.

Savannah's New School Year!

Charlotte and Savannah playing with babies....imagine that!!!!

Best buddies--Charlotte and Savannah!

Savannah and her baby....doesn't she get enough of this at home?????

Savannah started her new school year at Mother's Day Out at First Baptist Church in Allen in Ms. Janet's class last Tuesday. She is going 2 days a week this year and is in class with her friends Charlotte and Kate again this year. There are 12 kids in her class and almost everyone is potty trained, but guess what? Savannah is once again actively potty training. We are doing princess panties and pull-ups and having some accidents, but she is definitely making progress. We had a "bye bye diaper" party, and there's no turning back now. Of course, I forgot my camera on the first day now that I have "triplet mama brain", so thanks to my friend Danna, Charlotte's mom, enjoy a few pics.

New Ride and Numbers!!!!

Savannah chose Katelyn to sit in the back with her.

Don't the boys look like they're wearing suspenders?????

Yes, Cameron is actually happy, and Katelyn is not and turning red in the backseat!

Mommy has been looking for a used quad stroller since the trips were born and finally found one through PAMOM in Plano. She went and checked it out and purchased it. Cosmetically it has lots of crayon and marker marks and some rust and the wheels are well worn and will probably need replaced, but structurally it is sound--seatbelts, brakes, baskets, canopies, etc. This stroller retails new at Babies R Us for $500, and mommy got it for a great price! We took our first walk without Camy yesterday around the block. Whew! What a workout! I figured I was pushing at least 75 lbs. of kid plus whatever the stroller weighed. I was exhausted and worked up quite a sweat! It does fit on the sidewalk, but it is quite cumbersome to push and control. It will work for what we need though. I also thought you might enjoy some numbers: 550+ diapers per month, 16 cans of formula per month, diaper champ taken out every 2-3 days, 4-5 pitchers of formula made per day, 2-3 loads of laundry per day, at least 2 changes of clothes for mommy per day, babies are still in diapers only when home, 1 well visit/weight check at the doctor per month, 2 containers of wipes per week, 2 trips to the pharmacy per month for reflux medicine. This is what comes to mind off the top of my head. I'm sure there's more. It's quite crazy when you put it to paper, but the Lord continues to be faithful and provide.
