We're going to need bigger bottles

Right after the two month appointment, we decided (based on the babies' cues) that we'd stretch their feedings out to 4 hours apart vs. feeding them every three hours. Sometimes it is a struggle to get them to wait that extra hour or 30 minutes, but it is so worth it for the time it has freed up for me. We also had to up the amount of food they were taking at a feeding in order to make sure they stay full.

Overall, the babies are very healthy. As of today:
Walter - 9lb 3oz
Gordon - 10lb 9oz
Adele - 9lb 12oz

The nurse couldn't believe they were 2 month old triplets. She said that was very big! The doctor said they didn't have ear infections or anything else wrong, so all the crying they've started doing between 7pm and 11pm is most likely colic. Adele, however, is spitting up a lot, so if things stay this frantic for them through the holidays, I might make an appointment to see if she might have reflux.

Okay, now for the fun stuff!! First of all, my mother-in-law and I were lamenting the babies not having any stockings to hang over the fireplace. She wanted me to pick some out and order them, but I hemmed and hawed, unable to decide. I'm so glad that I didn't order any!! My dear friend, Barbara, sent the most beautiful, hand-knit, personalized stockings. I still can't get over how wonderful they are:
In other big news, the babies are starting to become more aware of everything and to discover their hands. Gordon managed to interlace his fingers and he was so proud of himself.
And I finally got a photo of the babies in their Aggie outfits. We'll have to get them in their Gator outfits once they fit!
Walter has started rolling over, from tummy to back. He did this the first time just around the time of his 2 month appointment. For those of you who don't know, this is SUPER early. He doesn't do it all the time, but he's pulled it off about 10-15 times so far. I got a video, but he was already partly through the rolling:



I think we're going to have to up the feeding amounts again soon so we'll have to buy new bottles. It just never ends with babies outgrowing stuff!! Hopefully they'll soon outgrow these crying jags. *smile*
