When we were going through baby clothes, we found a caterpillar costume that was adorable, and so we had to pop each of the boys into it and have a photo shoot. We were laughing so hard that it was a difficult task to take any pictures at all! We decided that each boy should be introduced to the grass, since that is where caterpillars are usually found, other than trees (and it would be a terrible idea to put the triplets in a tree, of course). The boys didn't like the grass at all, as you'll see...
Alex loves to read baby books...apparently here he's about to discover an exciting story about a leaf.
We decided to put Jacen in the caterpillar costume first--this led to a lengthy photo shoot. Jacen seemed to like the torture!
Here he is, meditatively crawling along...
But he's not a big fan of the grass.
Now it's Alex's turn for some humiliation...he doesn't seem to mind. Any attention is good attention when you have two brothers!
Daddy loves his little worm...
Alex takes to being a caterpillar like a fish to water...
Until you put him on the grass, that is.
Finally, it's Ty's turn. He turns to Dad and says, "I'm cute, aren't I?" Of course Dad says yes.
Ty reveling in his buggy-ness...
Ty says, "C'mon, guys, this grass stuff is lame...and this outfit is hot!"
Ty's not going to stick around to become a butterly.
We took the camera to the Clear Creek trail, and took some photos of the boys on a rock by a creek. Apparently Jacen decided to do his best impression of a frog on a rock; perhaps it's the green hat...
We thought this was a cute picture of Ty...
And last but not least, here's Alex with Mom, investigating the intricacies of his finger...
