The Boys' First Week at Home...

You might wonder why we haven't updated the blog in about a week...happily, it's because the past week has been as uneventful as a week spent taking care of triplets can be. The boys eat, and sleep...then eat, and sleep, then eat, and sleep...then eat, and sleep...then eat, and sleep...then (you guessed it) eat, and sleep. That's pretty much a triplet day--six cycles of feeding and snoozing. Jacen likes to deviate a bit from that schedule to weedle on Jody or Matt now and then while he's being changed. What a life, huh?

On Saturday the triplets (dirty boys, all of them!) enjoyed their first bath. Afterwards we wrapped them in bathrobes that their Grandma Trisha had gotten them which supposedly are "newborn" sized. We probably could have fit Ty and Alex in each sleeve of the robe. What resulted were cute pictures of babies wrapped in oversize terry robes. Think of the triplets as hapless victims of the shrinking ray on the old Rick Moranis movie "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids"--or think pint-sized Hugh Hefners.

Other than that, the pictures this week are of--yes--the triplets sleeping. We think it's cute how they will curl up together. Alex, who sleeps in the middle, has cuddled up to both Jacen and Ty. How cute!

Here's Ty wrapped up in his robe...



And lounging around on the changing table...



Here's Alex, burrowed in his robe (see how big the sleeves are!)...



Note Alex's spiky blond hair...that definitely comes from the Madeira side!



Here's Jacen in his robe...(he has his lip curled up for some reason...perhaps he's trying to look a bit snooty and spoiled!)





Here's Alex curled up to Jacen...



And Ty curled up to Alex...



And Alex asleep in his boppy...



A strong wind must blow through the nursery to blow off the triplets' hats...either that or they all have miniature geysers on the tops of their heads. This is so odd.
