New Update on Babies!

Rub-a-Dub-Dub 3 babies in the tub--Katelyn, Cameron, and Parker! They look all grown up!

The babies are already 7 1/2 months old and went to the doctor today for a weight check and the flu booster. Guess who weighs the most???? It's not Cameron any more....it's Katelyn! It's not surprising based on those thunder thighs that she shows off every day. She weighed in at 15 lbs. 12 oz. and is in the 19th % tile on the regular, term baby growth curve. She is also the shortest in length which makes her even more compact. You go girl! Cameron came in second at 15 lbs. 4 oz. and Parker was a very close third at 15 lbs. 2 oz. The boys are exactly the same length which is 3/4 of an inch longer than their sister. Katelyn still doesn't have any teeth, Parker has 2 on the bottom, and Cameron has 1 on the bottom. Developmentally they are still on track...still not sitting on their own or crawling, but the doctor is not worried as they are really 6 1/2 months adjusted age and doing just fine. They have all slowed way down on their weight, so the doctor wants us to increase their solid food intake quite a bit. I've done the math....it will equal 12 jars of baby food per day which is 84 per week which equals $42 a week plus the cost of cereal. So, we get to add $200 a month for baby food until I can get on my game and start making my own food. Wow! We still have $270 per month for meds, $75 per month for well visits to the doctor, $200 a month for formula, and $150 per month for diapers and wipes! Yikes! And this is just for the babies!!!!! We will continue to pray that God will meet our needs! The babies took their first bath together in the big tub, and yes, I did it all by myself. I had to get creative, especially when taking them all out and getting them dry, but I managed, and everyone was clean and happy with no mishaps. Also, their cousin, Katie Seelye, got off work early on Tuesday, and volunteered to come over for a few hours to feed and help mommy with the babies and Savannah. It was great! She also brought mommy lunch and a hot chocolate from Starbuck's. Thanks Katie! Enjoy some new pics! Stay tuned for Halloween pics soon!
