The Madeira Fearsome Four: April 2008

Alex, Jacen and Ty turned 7 months this past Tuesday. We didn't have a big photo session like we did last month, but we still have some cute shots that we've accumulated this month. This has been a pretty uneventful spring thus far. We've been able to get the babies out for several walks around the neighborhood. Now that Jody's finished teaching for the spring semester, we're looking forward to taking them out during the week when the stores/sidewalks are a bit emptier.
We had been feeding the boys at 9:30 a.m., 12:30 p.m., 4:30 p.m., 8:30 p.m., and 11:00 p.m. and then putting them to bed. Last night we decided to cut out the 11:00 p.m. feeding and to put them to bed around 9 after they finished their 8:30 p.m. bottles. Ty woke up around 10:00 p.m. and roused Jacen as well, but after a while those two went back to sleep and all three slept until 9:15 a.m. this morning. We were surprised! We expected them to get up around 7 a.m. hungry and crying to be fed. This has the effect of allowing them to play right after they eat, and then they take a nap after they get exhausted before they are ready to eat again.

We do have some cute pictures from this last month as well...
